What is the main idea on "DO NATIONS EXPRESS THEMSELVES ON THEIR FOODS?"


* In every food in every nation, there is always the reflection of their history, customs, and way of life.

Points that support the main idea:

• Spain was once before an Arab land (for 800 years).  And because of this connection, the Arabs somehow influenced the way they look at dinning --how they nib leisurely on dishes—and at the tastes of their foods as well.

• The Arabs and the Spaniards are very accustomed (even if they have warred with each other before) to siestas that reflect why they enjoy taking much time on eating. They find meal time as a relaxation for their senses.

• In Arab places, the preparation of their foods takes a period of time which depicts the people’s way of life that is very particular in their foods and loves to relax and converse with others while in the edge of meal time. While in America, lots of fast-food chains are everywhere which also depicts the people who lives in a fast pace of life.
