Foods 12 – Indigenous Food Reflection
For this assignment, my group and I researched the Musqueam People. We learned that their staple food source is salmon, so we decided to make a salmon chowder which included canned salmon, creamed corn, evaporated milk, celery, potatoes, carrots, cheddar cheese, and spices. Our chowder turned out really good, I think that everybody was able to enjoy it and I enjoyed learning and teaching my peers about the Musqueam People. During our lab, my group worked well; on day one we were able to complete most of the recipe so on day two we were able to focus on enjoying everyone’s food and relaxing. Overall I enjoyed this assignment, it was really interesting learning about a topic that hasn’t been commonly discussed in my previous classes. I have learned to appreciate all the information we have access to because there is so much to learn that I didn’t realize I could learn. Learning about something different always sparks my interest and i’m glad we had the opportunity to do this assignment.
