This photo is a possibility if I decide to do foodways of the rich verses foodways of the poor. I think that this photo is a good depiction of what we think of when we think about poor people and acquiring food. I like that the image is of what I assume to be poor folk from another country. All the faces shown are very gloomy. Something I thought was interesting about the photo is that all the people in the food lineup are all men and children and there is only what appears to be one woman.
On the other hand if I choose to do a specific culture I could use this book cover. My original thought when picking a culture was to do American foodways, however when googling the topic African American foodways dominated the screen. I then changed my mind and decided on African American foodways because I know nothing about it. Something I thought was strange about this image is the lack of meat in the photo. The thing I like most about the book cover is where it says "Explorations of History & Culture" on the front cover. I think it sums up exactly what shapes a cultures foodways.
For my second image and the text that goes along with it please use the following link.
