I too am a huge fan of “eating to learn!” Food is such an important part of every culture, and I think it’s wonderful that you are introducing your children to different cuisines. By learning about the cultures behind those different foods I’m sure your children will develop a greater appreciation and understanding about other cultures as they grow up. Thanks for sharing!

In my culture ‘African American” we always have a big meal on Sunday! You would think you were at a buffet.

We do a lot of cultural things. We send our sons to Hebrew school to learn the language. And we keep a Kosher kitchen, which means we only buy food with a Kosher symbol on it (see the little U inside the circle on your cereal box?) and we shop at the Kosher market. And the holidays, of course. And, my cooking incorporates food from all over the world. There are nice ways to cook Kosher tacos, Chinese stir-fry, etc.M As last blog post..Should vs. Do

My older daughter has a lot of cultural education at school (Kindergarten), including Spanish class every day and once-a-week Japanese club. I try to cook food from all over the world, and she’s usually up to at least trying just about anything I make. There’s research that shows that having a varied diet, using elements from all over the world, is very good for your body.
