The culture I decided to
research was England. Ever since I was little I’ve found myself wanting to go
there and to explore the differences between the United States and the United
Kingdom. There are plenty of differences between the two, but also a lot of
similarities. There are different accents in England depending on the area in
which you live in. For example, the North vs. the South, and even some accents
determine your social class. They have several sports in England as well. The three
major sports are Football (soccer), Rugby, and Cricket. I hope to learn more
about this culture, and different traditions this country has. I plan to
research new cultural foods and possibly be able to try them out sometime in
the near future.
While researching, I came
across some interesting facts I did not know about the food. They mostly eat
beef, pork and fish for their main courses. While looking at some photos, a lot
of these dishes looked appetizing, especially the desserts. They have sweet dishes;
it varies from puddings, custards, dumplings, pies, and cakes. When people in
England have tea they usually eat some of these desserts with it. In London, there are over 18,000 restaurants in the area. They are all different types of restaurants from fast food to five star eateries.
“England is bordered to the north of Scotland
and the west of Wales (Wikipedia).” There are many hills, rivers, and lakes in
England, but in the north there are mountain chains. The seasons in England
change in temperature, from hot to cold. If I were to travel to England I would
go to the Greater London Urban Area, just because most people live here. This shapes
different types of food because each part of the country shows certain traditions.
Some of the food traditions are even from the Medieval English times.
Personally, I would love to try the old traditional food so I can experience
what it tastes like and knowing how it came into this culture.

England is also a place I really wasn't to visit and I think you gave great information about it. There food sounds cultured, but also still just like ours. Great job!!
