Instead, this would be later, and known as cena, where the poor class would be eating vesperna. Early in the course of the empire, vesperna was the evening meal that all citizens of Rome would share with their families. It was once again a one course meal and nothing special or extraordinary. Vesperna at no point was the most lavish meal for citizens, moreso a meal to be shared by family before retiring for the evening. For the most part it was similar to prandium, if only less important. The meal that was more important than any other for the citizens of the early empire, and later, the rich of the late empire, was cena. Cena was the only meal which had the possibility of meat for those present, and only if it was a special occasion. In the early empire, it was the main meal and stationed at noon, but as time wore on cena shifted to being a luxury only the upper-class could enjoy and moved to the evening. It consisted in the late empire of family gathering in the triclinium for a multi-course meal. On occasion, multiple families would gather, changing the meal into a banquet. This organization is rather similar to common modern

Artemisia Gentileschi's depiction of “Judith slaying Holofernes” is my favorite over Caravaggio's “Judith beheading Holofernes” because of the absolute bloodletting portrayed in her own version. In my own opinion, Artemisia Gentileschi's “Judith slaying Holofernes” is the most powerful Baroque painting considering Gentileschi's dark past.

Do you usually have strange shapes and unusual colors on your plate at every mean? In the Elizabethan Era, they loved to have unusual colors and strange shapes on their plate at every meal. They would have many different kinds of dishes that would make your plate look like a rainbow.

Depending on your wealth, being rich or poor, would determine how much food you could eat, or afford. Very wealthy people could afford to go to banquets and feast, but on the other hand, the non wealthy could not afford going to them. At the banquets and feast, it was important that the food was served for nobility. Also, still to this day, people still engage in banquets like the people in the Elizabethan Era. At

Symbolism, by usage of food, is not only used in Shakespeare’s writings but in many works of art throughout time. Diet, in forms of art, can represent a whole household. Especially in the time of

Barthes’s essay of “Steak Frites” in mid-20th century France, showcases the French ideals and mythology of consuming steak in its more rare and bloody form of, saignant. Barthes explains the ideals explaining: eating steak fills the consumer with the strength of said animal. The French believe that meat should be eaten in terms of the blood content [saignant] and a good steak is eaten more rare in order to be closer in touch to the animal providing a more exceptional meal. In France a common belief is, “steak is endowed a supplementary virtue of elegance” (Barthes 84).Meaning a meal of more importance and luxury, as the French see it as a more prestigious food. Because of this, beef is nationalized more than socialized in their culture. The French Mythology introduces the idea that steak, is a means of acquiring the strength of a powerful animal. French call this, “Bifteck, the heart of a a cut of meat, mythologically it is meat in the pure state, and whoever eats it assimilates a taurine strength” ( Barthes 83). In contrast to the French mythology of consuming steak and acquiring an animal like strength, the American ideal associates steak as a delicacy consumed by the upper class and by indulging in its luxury it provides a sense of wealth.

I chose the goddess Artemis (in Greek mythology), also known as Diana (in Roman mythology). While I tried to research this topic on Artemis, I have found many websites with lots of great information.

As fads and trends come and go, there is one certain topic that always stays relevant--food. Whether it be new recipes or tips or restaurants, cooking and cuisine are two of the most popular subjects in America. Many people fret over “revolutionary” diets or organic recipes, yet others fail to actually track down the origins of their foods. Because of this, I did not hesitate when choosing a book. My curiosity pertaining to food got the better of me and I was overwhelmed by this burning desire to find out how our meals are grown, created, and end up in our homes. When I found The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan, I read its description and realized that this book would answer all my questions in the history of food.

The article discusses the role of food as an instrument of identity and a channel of contact through cultures. This is discussed drawing from three cases of Italian food culture hybridization spanning from the early 20th century to the first decade of the 2000s: the role of Italian food in Italian-American identity as depicted in Leonardo Coviello’s work; the meeting of Southern and Northern food cultures following the Italian internal migrations in the ‘50s and ‘60s; the food practices of international migrants in the context of the global flows of people and commodities in present day Italy. In this regard, food plays an essential role in the rebuilding of a familiar context in which migrants can feel temporarily

Culture and memories are expressed through food. Everyone can identify themselves with a concrete culture and in every group there are numerous food dishes that satisfies one, or brings back peerless memories and feelings only they can relate to. Food itself has meaning attached to it, from the way it is prepared down to the ingredients used.

Cooking, it has been around for almost as long as humans. When humans first started roaming the earth we needed to cook to purify our meat and to also add some flavor. Today cooking is a little bit different than back in the stone age. We have mastered various different types of cooking throughout our existence. Cooking used to be essential to human life and to the progression of our livelihood but now we use it as more of a way to show our creativity. We have evolved to the point in our existence that we use food for many things than just eating. My mom is not a professional cook but in my opinion she still makes amazing food. She does it to feed us while other people due it show creativity. The cake shown is known as a galaxy cake. Many bakers love to make cakes like that to show their artistic ability and to test their reaches in the baking world. Many bakers like to vary their cakes. A galaxy cake is just one example but it shows how we have developed from just cooking to eat to cooking to eat and be creative.
