Mediated Brief 1

Through reading the posts on Polish food I believe that there are many similarities. These foods are based around cultures that celebrate the relationship between them and their traditional cuisines. Polish food is very hearty indeed and I'm sure very tasty. But healthy I think not. This food is based on manufactured meats and potatoes. Mexican cuisine uses the freshest ingredients and is based off the land, there is no secondary process the meat goes though before it ends up on your plate. Also Mexican cuisine uses tomatoes, avocados, lettuce and a composite of dairy products to create incredibly vibrant meals. Polish food cannot compete with the vibrant dishes that represent the people and the culture. Also there is merit in the fact that many people have not or ever will get the chance to eat traditional polish food. There are much bigger influences of Mexican cuisine in our culture than there is polish. I have not ever eaten anything that someone described as polish, but that can be looked at two ways. I have never eaten anything polish and therefore cannot make a decision on which food is better,or it can be seen as because I have never eaten polish food, it is a testament to how far behind it is to Mexican cuisine.
