What the World Eats

For this posts, my class is supposed to choose a family and explain what they eat.  I chose the Manzo family of Sicily, Italy.  Every week, they spend 214.36 Euros or 260.11 American Dollars.  Their favorite foods are: pasta with ragy, hot dogs and frozen fish sticks.  In their family, there are five people.  A mother, father and three children.  I noticed that they eat a lot of bread and fruits.  There are also many canned foods.  This family eats mostly wheat produts.  They seem to drink a lot of soda.  I think this family is healthy with their food choices but could work on their decisions for drinks.

If I were this family, what would I eat for a snack?  I would make a sandwich.  Using the bread this family has, I would cut it up into slices, then chop up some tomatoes and add some lettuce. 

Another thing I might make is a fruit salad.  There is a lot of cabbage and lettuce.  There is also a lot of fruits such as bananas, grapes, pears and something exotic.  Then I would cut the bread and make delicius cruetons.  These are two recipies that can be made from the family in Silily, Italy.



This is the picture I used.
