Thesis Proposal

My thesis topic is to explore the relationship between food and culture. The intention is to examine foods that are unique to other cultures and the motivation behind why those foods are popular within that culture. My purpose is while we often dismiss countries food to be different or extreme, we don't examine as to why. Some factors that are not considered are social values, geography, religion, and economic circumstances. My process will be based off research of a select handful of countries that have a very different culture.
