Georgia Cobbler by Faith Jones

I was up late one night watching the food network when Paula Deen came on the television. She began talking about peach cobbler and the history of it. She described how all the ingredients used to make peach cobbler came from the Old World to the New World.

 

Ingredients:

4 cups, peeled, sliced peaches

2 cups of sugar

8 tablespoons of butter

1 ½ cups of flour

1 ½ cups of milk

½ cup of water

 

            The main ingredient in peach cobbler, peaches, originated in China and made its way to the New World through the Columbian exchange along with cows and sugar cane. Cows were mentioned in this portion of the show because milk and butter are used in the process of making peach cobbler along with sugar, which originated in south-east Asia.

            The last ingredient she mentioned was flour.  She said the Romans were known to be the first group of people to use flour. That leads its origins back to the Old World.

            After hearing Paula talk about peach cobbler it made me want to make my own dish. So I recorded the episode and the next day I gathered all the ingredients and made it with her. It was delicious J

Cheesy Cheesecake

I went to the Cheesecake Factory with my mom, sisters, and brother-in-law for my niece's birthday and had the best cheesecake that I had ever eaten. It was also the first cheesecake that I had ever eaten. I thought that it was going to be nasty because I don't like cheese, but my sister dared me so I had to eat it.


Ingredients for Cheesecake

1-1/2 cups  HONEY MAID Graham Cracker Crumbs

3 Tbsp.  sugar

1/3 cup  butter or margarine, melted

4 pkg.  (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

1 cup  sugar

1 tsp.  vanilla

4  eggs

There are a couple of ingredients that are in cheesecake that come from the Columbian Exchange. Cheesecake contains sugar, which comes from sugar cane, which comes from South and Southeast Asia.  That means that sugarcane came from the Old World to the New World. Cheesecake also has butter and cream cheese, and both come from cows. Cows went from the Old World to the New World from through the Columbian Exchange. Eggs are used in cheesecake. These eggs are chicken eggs, which means they come from chickens. Chickens come from Asia, Africa, and Europe, which is the Old World, meaning that chickens were traded Old World to New World. Last but not least, vanilla is also in cheesecake. Vanilla comes originated in Mexico with the Totonaco Indians. Since vanilla came from originated in Mexico, it means that vanilla went from the New World to the Old. Vanilla is the only thing that comes from the New World in cheesecake.


So, I ate something that was made with things that have been traded through the Columbian Exchange. Cool.

Think Greek by Joiya Reid



--

When you think Greek, what is the first thing that comes to mind? For me, I immediately think of olive trees and the breaking plates at weddings. In my mind, everything Greek is made with olive oil and colorful vegetables. I was sorely mistaken. Turns out that not everything from Greece is all olives, tomatoes, and spinach. Greek styled stew chicken is the complete opposite.

The main ingredients of Greek styled stew chicken is chicken, obviously; salt; pepper; cinammon; tomato sauce; garlic; and oragano. While chicken could be easily found in Greece or in the other countries that Greece trades with, tomatoes, pepper, and cinammon all come from the new world. The Columbian Exchange allowed Greece to implement other foods into their traditional dishes and make new, tastier, and appealing cuisines.

The Greek styled stew chicken completely delighted my taste buds. The chicken had a sweet and salty taste, it was tender with crisp skin, and fell off of the bone. The aroma of the stew chicken made my mouth water. With one bite of the juicy white meat, I felt as if I was sailing on the Aegan Sea with Greece in my sight. I recommend this dish to any and everyone who wants a little bit of Greece in their backyard.  


Fruit Salad- Yummy Yummy

             This weekend I enjoyed my sister's famous fruit salad at our annual family picnic. As I was eating the mysterious collection of citrus, I wondered where all of the fruit had come from. After my research, I learned that these are all tropical fruits, and must be grown in relatively warm, humid environments. This makes sense because these foods were all used in the Columbian exchange; the exchange of culture between Europeans and the natives of the new world.

                The fruit salad had strawberries, pineapple, and grapes which all came from the new world during the Columbian exchange. These ingredients all came from the Caribbean and tropical regions of the Americas. The Europeans learned to grow them from the natives and the knowledge was taken back to Europe.

                The delectable salad also had watermelon, bananas, and kiwis. These were all grown in southern Africa and were brought to the Americas by settlers and merchants, where they became a very important part of the native's diet.

Dajee's Burrito History

Dajee's Burrito History

Last night, for dinner, I had the most amazing burrito at Chipotle. It consisted of the following:

1 Tortilla

1 cup of rice

2 whole jalapenos

¼ of a tomato

¼ cup of corn

¼ cup of guacamole

4 whole olives

1/8 cup of chopped onions

1 cup of rice

1 lb. of ground beef

For my side, I had a serving of pineapples.

As I ate, I started to wonder the history behind these magnificent components of my meal. Later that night I drifted off into a deep sleep. I started to dream that I was in an AP World History Class and some guy named Mr. Benschine was talking about this a period of cultural and biological exchanges between the New and Old Worlds around the year 1492. He started going on and on about how foods, goods and diseases were traded.

                All of a sudden I saw the foods from my meal appear on his slideshow. Coming from the Americas to the Old World, I saw peppers, tomatoes, corn (maize), avocadoes, and pineapples. Coming from the Old World to the Americas, I saw olives, onions, rice, beef, and grain. As I woke up from my deep sleep, I noticed that I had had a history lesson for a dream. I'm glad that guy Mr. Benschine explained to me where every part of my burrito came from.  

 

 

 

Charlie eats babies

As I was swallowing Charlie Deyo's despicably constructed nutrients, I noticed that there was in fact a human finger embedded within the dish. I then noticed that the dish was actually a child. This didn't surprise me considering that Charlie made it. Somehow I managed to gather the reminisce of my appetite to attempt to consume what appeared to be the chocolate milk that Charlie squeezed out of a raw utter that he was carrying around.

Of course it was terrible. But as least it was simple, chocolate sauce and milk. Milk comes from many mammals, but the milk commonly consumed is that of cows, which originate from Europe. Chocolate sauce is made from melted chocolate. Chocolate is derived from the cacao bean, which is indigenous to Mexico. Both of these key ingredients (Cacao and Cow Milk) were frequently traded on the Columbian Exchange.

I advise anyone who values their internal organs not to consume anything Charlie offers you. It will most likely be dog, cat, or baby.
