Individual Paper

DISH ASSIGNMENT

You have been officially assigned to research Risotto (Italy) to compose your Individual Exercise. I also wanted to bring to your attention that, if you take a close look at the map Centers of Domestication included in the Instructions file, you will see that Italy is located within the Mediterranean region of domestication. For this reason, any ingredient included in your recipe that was domesticated here will be cited in your table using only one of the following term: either Native or Mediterranean -this includes salt. Furthermore, any ingredient domesticated in SW Asia (i.e., onions) will be examples of expansion diffusion, while all others (i.e., pork from South and Southeast Asia) will be considered examples of relocation diffusion. While writing your essay always bare in mind how globalization has impacted the Italian culture. I mention this detail since this dish is an expression of this culture and a significant number of the ingredients included in your recipe were domesticated outside the Mediterranean. By the way, in case your dish does not include the minimum number of ingredients (10) to complete this assignment, you may need to add sides that are usually served with this dish (i.e., a salad - lettuce, onions, etc.). Finally, please remember that, any plant or animal by-product that is included in your dish (i.e., cheese, bacon, etc.), this/these must b ne cited in your table by including first the source (animal/plant), followed by the name of the ingredient. For example, cattle (cheese, milk), pork (bacon). These (several cheeses included in your recipe with the same origin - pork) will count for one ingredient only in your table.
