The Food and Culture Around the World Handbook

Description

This book provides specific information on the food and culture of each of the 195 countries in the world. Designed to be consistent and concise, it uses an outline format that details the cultural factors related to food ( such as geography, ethnic group, religions and education) and the food itself ( such as typical dishes, special occasion foods, meals and service and street food and snacks). Its goal is to help readers develop multicultural competence and cultural sensitivity so they are more equipped to provide adequate food service, nutrition education, and health care to an increasingly diverse population.  Some features for each country entry include:COUNTRY NAME (Official Name)CultureGeography location and topography Major Languages                           Ethnic Groups and % of population in each group                                             Major Religions Official religion and % of population affiliated with each religion                                                                                                                                                      Agriculture chief crops and livestockBrief HistoryIndustries All types of food coverage including influences on food and specialty or occasion food A perfect blend of culture and food, this is a great resource for anyone in the food service industry!   Cover Contents Countries A Afghanistan Albania Algeria Andorra Angola Antigua and Barbuda Argentina Armenia Australia Austria Azerbaijan B Bahamas Bahrain Bangladesh Barbados Belarus Belgium Belize Benin Bhutan Bolivia Bosnia and Herzegovina Botswana Brazil Brunei Bulgaria Burkina Faso Burma (see Myanmar) Burundi C Cambodia Cameroon Canada Cape Verde Central African Republic Chad Chile China Colombia Comoros Congo (formerly Zaire) Congo Republic Costa Rica Côte D’Ivoire Croatia Cuba Cyprus Czech Republic D Denmark Djibouti Dominica Dominican Republic E East Timor (see Timor-Leste) Ecuador Egypt El Salvador Equatorial Guinea Eritrea Estonia Ethiopia F Fiji Finland France G Gabon Gambia,The Georgia Germany Ghana Greece Grenada Guatemala Guinea Guinea-Bissau Guyana H Haiti Honduras Hungary I Iceland India Indonesia Iran Iraq Ireland Israel Italy Ivory Coast (see Côte D’Ivoire) J Jamaica Japan Jordan K Kazakhstan Kenya Kiribati Korea, North Korea, South Kosovo Kuwait Kyrgyzstan L Laos Latvia Lebanon Lesotho Liberia Libya Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg M Macedonia Madagascar Malawi Malaysia Maldives Mali Malta Marshall Islands Mauritania Mauritius Mexico Micronesia Moldova Monaco Mongolia Montenegro Morocco Mozambique Myanmar (formerly Burma) N Namibia Nauru Nepal Netherlands New Zealand Nicaragua Niger Nigeria Norway O Oman P Pakistan Palau Panama Papua New Guinea Paraguay Peru Philippines Poland Portugal Q Qatar R Romania Russia Rwanda S Saint Kitts and Nevis Saint Lucia Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Samoa (formerly Western Samoa) San Marino São Tomé and Príncipe Saudi Arabia Senegal Serbia Seychelles Sierra Leone Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Solomon Islands Somalia South Africa Spain Sri Lanka Sudan Suriname Swaziland Sweden Switzerland Syria T Taiwan Tajikistan Tanzania Thailand Timor-Leste (East Timor) Togo Tonga Trinidad and Tobago Tunisia Turkey Turkmenistan Tuvalu U Uganda Ukraine United Arab Emirates United Kingdom United States Uruguay Uzbekistan V Vanuatu Vatican City Venezuela Vietnam W Western Samoa (see Samoa) Y Yemen Yugoslavia (see Serbia and Montenegro) Z Zaire (see Congo) Zambia Zimbabwe Bibliography Regional Index AFRICA ASIA AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND CARIBBEAN ISLANDS CENTRAL AMERICA EUROPE MIDDLE EAST (SOUTHWEST ASIA) NORTH AMERICA PACIFIC ISLANDS SOUTH AMERICA Пустая страница
