The potato rose to prominent consumption  in France during the French Revolution as politicians, such as Parmentier and Turgot, advocated for its use as part of the new post-revolutionary diet and agricultural regime. 
2. In French cuisine, masculinity connoted aristocracy and luxury whilst femininity symbolised simplicity and economy. The revolution changed the dynamics of gender and cooking, therefore democratising cooking and opening up the practise of curating cuisine to all persons.
3. Arjun Appadurai contends that Indian cuisine was constructed through exile, nostalgia and loss in preserving culinary traditions. This idea of culinary nationalism, of recreating the past through the cuisine of the present, can be seen in French Revolutionary times, as people longed for simple meals and an abundance of food.

    Rice was not an essential food in Costa Rican diets until the late 1800s when Afro-Caribbeans, Chinese and Italian labourers migrated over to work on railroad construction.

    Rice was a fundamental food and an important complement to the Chinese and Italians respectively, thus bringing the grain to prominence. The Gallo Pinto was the modification of eliminating coconut milk and substituting hot chilli with sweet pepper of a popular Afro-Caribbean dish that combined beans, rice and coconut milk.

    The practice of mixing rice and beans has West African roots where Afro-Caribbeans reserved the grains for festive days, and growing them in their labour camps. Thus, when the state took control of these camps, Gallo Pinto became their principal dish.

    Gallo Pinto was a peasant dish that underscored class boundaries due to the cheapness and availability of Rice and Beans. It also symbolised the black and white spotted rooster which was the best fighter and thus the workers believed that a rice and bean mix would be the most satisfying.

    The Gallo Pinto exemplifies the idea that national cuisines are build from the ground up, for intellectuals had believed Costa Rica to be a white country like rice, but its food showed otherwise.]]>     2017-02-08 00:45:38 UTC https://padlet.com/laraba/Jess2pmGroup2/wish/152338807     https://padlet.com/laraba/Jess2pmGroup2/wish/152339080 2017-02-08 00:47:56 UTC https://padlet.com/laraba/Jess2pmGroup2/wish/152339080 https://padlet.com/laraba/Jess2pmGroup2/wish/152355335

Tens of thousands of participants come from all over the world to fight in a harmless battle where more than one hundred metric tons of over-ripe tomatoes are thrown in the streets.

    The weeklong festival features music, parades, dancing, and fireworks. On the night before the tomato fight, participants of the festival compete in a paella cooking contest.

    At around 11 a .m., the first event of the Tomatina begins. A ham is placed upon a cockaigne pole (a large, greased pole), and the tomato fight can begin only when someone is able to climb to the top and bring it down. People struggle against each other, climbing atop one another, in order to be the one to pull down the ham. With this victory, the tomato-throwing begins.

    Many trucks haul the bounty of tomatoes into the center of the town, Plaza del Pueblo. The tomatoes come from Extremadura, where they are less expensive. The signal for the beginning of the fight is firing of the cannon, and the chaos begins. Once it begins, the battle is generally every man for himself.

But these days, French cuisine and its champions are seizing the opportunity to innovate. France are now entering another culinary golden age,  with influences as diverse at its people. Paris especially is among the most multicultural cities in the world. More than one in three residents of the greater metropolitan area are either immigrants or the children of immigrants. This has lead the French population to embrace foreign cuisines to the point that they are even seen in Haute Cuisine.
