Blog Introduction
Firstly, lets consider two facts about food:
1. Humans
are born craving sugar.
2. Chocolate
was once used as currency.
Now with that in mind, when it
came to deciding on a topic for a blog as a part of our assignment we decided
to focus on food. It is not only an essential part of everyone’s lives, but
also an indulgence to many, thus sharing our experiences and providing all
readers with not only personal opinions but also descriptions of flavours of
the foods, photos of the meals and surrounding areas as well as any other
details of the cafes and restaurants we had a pleasure of visiting.
Who is “we” you ask? We are a group
of six students at Macquarie University undertaking the “IT & Society” unit.
Justin, Khai, Lauren, Madison, Monika and Patrick. And we would love to welcome
you to our blog
We have been assigned the task of
creating a blog as a group on a topic of our choice and sharing it with the
greater community. What made us think of food? We were brainstorming ideas on
something people enjoy doing, isn’t too much of an effort and allows for anyone
to easily relate to and feel welcome. Food can be considered a universal
language that brings people of all ages, cultures and backgrounds together. Food
encourages not only broadmindedness but also diversity amongst all countries
and has successfully integrated well within all nations.
And let’s not forget the feeling
of “home”, happiness and welcomeness that is associated with food. Family
events, birthdays, Christmas, simple get togethers or weddings and even
funerals. They all involve food because food brings people together in all
kinds of situations and emotions.
And let’s be honest … everyone
loves to spoil themselves either on a regular basis or every once in a while
and it’s always nice to have an insight about a place and what to expect.
WELCOME TO FOOD BLOG 2.0.
Stay Tuned :)
