3. Does the concern of the cultural identity activists seem less compelling if the Fusion Cuisine incorporated elements from a neighboring, non-colonial culture, like Vietnamese cuisine with Laotian elements or Salvadoran dishes with Mexican elements? Does the "homogenization" or "cultural colonialism" arguments seem less compelling?
During colonization, the conquerors influenced the culture of the local people in many ways, and foodways is one of them. For example, the French influenced the current Vietnamese cuisine. Before the colonization of Vietnam by the France the Vietnamese cuisine consisted of five elements including spice, salt, bitter, sour, and sweet. They also included five nutrients including water, minerals, powder, fat, and proteins. Additionally, they include five colors including yellow, green, red, black, and white. The resulting Vietnamese dishes are colorful and attractive. The common ingredients for Vietnamese cuisine included rice, fish sauce, fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruits. Before the Vietnamese cuisines were majorly influenced by the neighboring China and also even Vietnam influenced Chinese dishes (Monaco, 2015).
After France conquered Vietnam, some aspects of the Vietnamese cuisine got influenced. The French brought with them to Vietnam many flavors and ingredients particularly the baguette and the Vietnamese adapted it and developed their own edition using rice flour. Additionally, the French introduced carrots, asparagus, potatoes and artichokes onions which are today included in Vietnamese cuisine. Also, the French did not only introduce ingredients and flavors but also influenced the cooking methods with using wine and butter in food preparation. Further, the rise of beef in the Vietnamese cuisine is influenced by the French. Also, the French introduced coffee in Vietnam, and the Vietnamese adapted it to their local cuisine (Monaco, 2015). Therefore, colonization of Vietnam by France greatly influenced the contemporary Vietnamese cuisine by introducing the ingredients and flavors and influencing the methods of food preparation.

This document provides background information on the East Indian diaspora in Trinidad.

The tale of civilizations11 /ICSE 5th class syllabusindianeducation
This document provides an overview of early civilizations and their development. It describes how early humans discovered fire and domesticated animals, allowing them to gain more control over nature. Agriculture further increased independence and confidence. Major early scientific developments included the invention of the wheel, discovery of metals and tools. River valley civilizations like Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, and the Indus River valley civilization in India developed more advanced cultures with systems of government, religion, architecture, professions and trade. The Indus River valley civilization spanned several large cities along the Indus River between 1700 BC to 2500 BC, but later declined for unknown reasons.

Section 3: Marketing Implications
4. The Starting Point : Food & Culture
• Apart from satisfying biological needs, food is also
an expression of culture/ historical reservoir i.e.
• An essential symbolic function of food is cultural
identity. Beyond self-identification, incorporation of
food can signify collective association.
• What one eats defines who one is, culturally
speaking, and, conversely, who one is not. In the
Middle East, for example, a person who eats pork is
probably Roman Catholic or Orthodox Christian, not
Jewish or Muslim.
• While most people believe that consumers make
consumption choices based on personal preferences
Bourdieu (1984) showed that consumer preferences

7. The Research Framework Used:
Role of food within a culture is a function of:
(1) the frequency of food consumption, as
described through the core and complementary
foods model;
(2) the ways in which a culture traditionally
prepares and seasons its foods, as examined by
flavor principles;
(3) the daily, weekly, and yearly use of food, as
found in meal patterns and meal cycles;
(4) changes in food functions that emerge during
structural growth in a culture.

9. Overview of Vietnam
Vietnam
Population:
Over 83 million - 85% ethnic
Vietnamese, 3% ethnic Chinese,
members of 55 ethno-linguistic
groups.
Languages: Vietnamese,
French, Chinese, English and
local dialects.
Religions: Buddhism, Taoism,
Confucianism, Hoa Hao, Cao
Dai, Muslim and Christian
minorities
Food forms a critical part of fabric of Vietnamese life In fact a closer look reveals that the
shape of country resembles two rice baskets on a rice pole. Further exemplified by their
greeting “Eat tet”i.e. “Have you eaten”? Many proverbs anchored on Food -Father eats
salty food, the children will be thirsty." = Bad actions will later bring bad luck/consequences
to descendants, . Eating lying down= A rather polite folksy way of saying having sex.

The Viets have through the decades sought to establish their unique & separate
identity; specially in context of the Chinese. The Vietnamese value system is based on
four closely interelated tenets: allegiance to the family, yearning for a good name, love
of learning, and respect for other people. Vietnamese's daily behaviors and perceptions
are influenced from the synthesis of concepts which may be followed from numerous
religions, specially Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism

13. The Story of the Rice Cake: “Purity & Most Basic Ingredients”
“Two kinds of cakes: one was round and the other was square in shape. The round cake was
made with glutinous rice dough and was called "banh day" by Tiet-Lieu. He named the
square shaped cake "banh chung" which he made with rice, green beans wrapped in leaves.
Rice is the most precious food item in the land and yet also the most abundant. I have
created dishes that symbolize the harmony between the earth and heaven so that all of our
people can enjoy.”

Snacks are often purchased from street vendors. Popular handheld snacks include spring rolls or pork meatballs on a
stick. These foods and pho (beef noodle soup) are the equivalent of fast food in Vietnamese cities. Also common
between meals are sweet fruits and ice cream, introduced during the Vietnam War era (1960s and 1970s). Another
"imported" snack food is a baguette with pâté, a holdover from the years when Vietnam was a colony of France.
15. Dynamics of a meal
•Meals are taken communally; using bowls, chopsticks and
ceramic spoons, and is accompanied by an array of sauces,
flavorings, dips, salads.
•A meal is a complete entity with many dishes –there is no
concept of ‘courses’ apart from ‘soup’ .
•Eating out in Vietnam is far more common than in Western
countries – usually, only the main evening meal is cooked at
home. Breakfast is a light meal, but is considered important .
Street breakfast in towns and cities of the north is mostly a
variation of ‘pho’. Lunch is usually taken at a ‘com bui’.There is
no tradition of ‘desserts’ in Vietnam.
17
16. Tet – The Feast
Tet marks the beginning of a new year on the
lunar calendar, and the beginning of Spring.
Food plays a major role in the Tet
celebration. Tet is a time of excess, one does
not enjoy Tet, one "eats" Tet.
3 or 5 duck eggs is offered to ancestors who
have returned to their homes.
Sticky rice and salt are also offered in the
streets to any hungry ghosts who might be
wandering in the neighbourhood.

18. Incorporation of The Principal of Yin & Yang
The principle of yin and yang as represented in Taoism by the Taijitu
influences the Vietnamese food habits significantly. Influence :
Principal of Yin and Yang, seek to match dishes with
seasonal/climatic conditions and current physical state of the
diners.
Duck meat is considered "cool" so is served in summer, which is
hot, and with ginger fish sauce, which is "warm." On the other
hand, chicken, which is "warm," and pork, which is "hot," are
used in cold winters.
Seafood ranging from "cool" to "cold" is suitable to use with
ginger ("warm").
Spicy, which is extremely yang, must be harmonized by sour,
which is extremely yin.
Balut- "Hột vịt lộn," meaning “Upside-down egg" ("cold"), must
be combined with Vietnamese mint "Rau răm" ("hot").
Cold and flu patients must drink ginger water ("hot").

22. Overview of Indonesia
Indonesian culture has been shaped by long interaction between original indigenous
customs and multiple foreign influences. Owing to its vantage position on along ancient
trading routes between the Far East and the Middle East has resulted in a complex
cultural mixture very different from the original indigenous cultures.

Indian merchants brought Hindu Buddhist religions whereas Chinese traders and immigrants
contributed Confucianism and the Arab Traders Islam. These contrasting influences in turn
resulted in the archipelago exhibiting high level of heterogeneity. Therefore an island like
Bali remains predominantly Hindu and the rest of the world’s most populous Islamic nation
continues to respect its earlier animist, Hindu and Buddhist traditions.
25
25. Rice Integral to Life and Well Being..
Dewi Sri is believed to have dominion over the underworld and the Moon. Thus, Dewi
Sri encompasses the whole spectrum of the Mother Goddess- having dominion over
birth and Life: she controls rice: the staple food of Indonesians; hence life and wealth or
prosperity; most especially rice surpluses for the wealth of kingdoms in Java; and their
inverse: poverty, famine, hunger, disease (to a certain extent) and Death. She is often
associated with the rice paddy snake .
27
26. The Dynamics of Home Eaten Meal
• Indonesian tables generally bear not only serving platters
with dishes to be shared and individual plates or bowls but
also little satellite dishes for dipping sauces, spices, chopped
herbs, and relishes like shrimp paste and fish sauce. Each
diner has the right and freedom to fine-tune the dish to his or
her individual taste by dipping, pouring, mixing, and
sprinkling
• Close look at different aspects of a meal :
• Preparation
– Rural Areas typically done by the lady of the house
– Urban- Lady of the house & domestic help
– Food could be freshly cooked or in the morning
• Presentation
– Rice coupled with a couple of meat/seafood and/or
vegetables the norm. All the dishes are served at the same
time.
– Crunchies like Keropak
• Consumption
– Family usually eats together. 28

Indonesian cuisine as it exists today is a potpourri of
different cuisines. However what is unique to Indonesia
is the diversity in flavors that are seen across the country.
Rice , poultry, mutton & seafood and vegetables form
the core of the Indonesian meals. The largest influence
has been that of Chinese , Arab and Indians (largely on
the cooking styles, core and complementary food). Dutch
influence limited to ingredients and secondary/

33. Overview of Malaysia
Owing to its unique vantage position fusion characterizes all facets of Malaysian
culture. A unified Malaysian culture is however something only emerging in the
country. The important social distinction in the emergent national culture is between
Malay and non-Malay, represented by : the Malay elite that dominates the country's
politics, and the largely Chinese middle class.

No concept of courses, food is eaten /served
simultaneously.
Preparation: Typically done by mother; often ladies
from two generation i.e. grandmother/ mother
Presentation: Rice coupled with a couple of
meat/seafood and/or vegetables the norm. Condiments
used include a small crunchy salad, pickled vegetables
& sambal condiment
Consumption: Family usually eats together.
Preference for freshly cooked meals high
Urban centers there is a growing preference for fast
food; in rural areas, local cuisine still preferred.
With people increasingly traveling long distances to
work coupled with women increasingly joining the
workforce the hawker food is being increasingly seen
as a substitute for a home cooked meal. Packaged &
supermarket are also seen as viable alternatives

43. History of Dairy…
Traditionally a non-dairying region The history of dairy consumption in South
East Asia is very short, but with an upward trend.
48
44. Introduction of Dairy …
Malaysia & Indonesia : Colonial Trade brought early import of
canned sweetened milk to Indonesia(1875), then Malaysia. This milk
was ideal for long-distance trade as it keeps relatively well in the heat.
Adoption Triggers :
Imported for Europeans first, it spread to local elite, then
throughout the population, as the small tin price
decreased.
In addition, milk kitchens set up by the Dutch in towns and
cities provided sweetened condensed milk for infants who
didn’t get mother’s milk.
Around 1901, Nestlé's sales network was marketing the product
in Javanese villages.
Vietnam : Colonials brought the first dairy cows at the end of 18th
century. US army commissioned Ice cream factories in 60’s and 70s.
49
45. Key Barriers …Historical Perspective
Lactose Intolerance
In these regions, large proportions of the
population are lactose intolerant.
With time decline being seen in lactose
Genetics intolerance; function of increased
exposure to milk?
Easily available dairy substitutes
Substitutes Soy milk, coconut milk & Tofu seen as
substitutes for dairy milk
Negative Milk Perceptions and Poor Sensorials
Product Milk seen as a “body excretion” thus
Perception &
Sensorials mental barriers specially in Vietnam
where cattle were used for draught
power, manure and meat production
but not for milk or dairy.
Milk and other dairy products
associated with a smell
50
46. Current Picture: Fast growing markets, per capita
consumption low..
Key Growth Triggers
• Rising per capita income
• Increasing association of milk and nutrition needed for a
growing child
• Product range beyond liquid milk; not a part of SEA diet
• Government schemes for infant feeding, targeted school
milk program
• Western influence has resulted in higher use of cheese &
butter
Fastest Growing Markets, Significantly lower versus Europe/ America and even per capita
consumption in India.For example : In Vietnam per capita has grown from around 1 kg to 10
kg now

50. Implication 1-(1/4)
Key Observations :
Most Southeast Asian societies have been in contact with each other and with other
societies, such as India and China,
Owing to colonialism, trade, influx of scholars & geographical proximity.
Significant Chinese populations across these markets – hence have strong
Chinese dietary strains in their cuisines.
While this resulted in “acculturation” i.e. the process of adopting the cultural traits
or social patterns of another group ; the emergent codes specifically in context of
food were not homogeneous
Thus within Southeast Asia food serves as an ethnic and national marker,
distinguishing one group from another.
Heterogeneity stems from the way people think, work, survive, and express
themselves; the economic surplus of the country of focus; social forces and the
countries' indigenous cultures.
55
51. Implications 1- (2/4)
Acculturation is a fourfold model along two dimensions.
Assimilation Integration
High- Low High- High

Culture Absorption Separation
Chinese dialect groups &
Marginalization the tribes in the rain forests

Retaining Donor Culture
57
53. Implications 1 - (4/4)
Implication 1: Host or Donor Countries as Source of Ideas for Innovation ?
Thus :For every country of focus the countries marketers should seek to identify food
categories that are “assimilated, integrated or separationist” and for each of these then
seek to understand consumers in both the donor & recipient countries as a possible
source of innovation ideas.
Areas that could be explored could be anchored in
Ingredients
Seasonings
Cooking Style & Medium
In fact marketers could establish protocols using research techniques like Neuro
Linguistic Processing to understand taste expectations from host & donor country &
then develop options for each.
58
54. Implications 2 - (1/2)
Observation 2 :
Food within Southeast Asia serves as a ethnic & national marker, distinguishing one group
from another. But despite the diversity, distinct commonalities exist.
•All throughout the region, rice forms the core food, is the basis of cakes, desserts and
other snacks. Rice as staff of life— food that shapes tastes and dietary patterns—certainly
is a common denominator.
•The flavor of coconut at all its stages is savored throughout the region.
•Ingredients like coconut milk, lemon grass, galingale, ginger, Asian basil, mint, fish sauce,
and shrimp paste are used throughout the region; although the proportion varies.
Implication: Thus processed food manufacturers should consider exploring the “mass
customization” for offering core complimentary or secondary food solutions for the region i.e.
Mass customization is the method of "effectively postponing the task of differentiating a
product for a specific customer until the latest possible point in the supply network.”
59
55. An example of “Range of Offerings – To meet diverse needs”
(2/2)
Ultimate goal would be to offer solutions that individuals / local diners can customize
to their tastes & preferences at the time of cooking/ on the table.
This process of customizing to ones palate is core to the region and each diner has the
right and freedom to fine tune his dish to his or her individual taste by dipping,
pouring, mixing, and sprinkling sauce/condiments.
60
56. Implication 3 -(1/2)
Observation 3 : Influences on cuisine from the donor country are imbibed by the host
country through the process of acculturation that involves:
Retaining : Retaining certain elements that are core & indigenous to its culture
(stemming from social & economic reasons). Example : use of palm sugar in
Malaysia for desserts, use of fish sauce in Vietnam etc.
Fusion : Customizing overseas influences with local preferences i.e. Kebabs to Satay
or soy sauce with sugar etc.
Implication 3:
All successful innovation for multicultural communities needs to mimic this process.
Thus for each category of interest at the outset, the flavor house must identify:
Are there any core preferences that are integral to that category for the locals.
These core preferences can be identified via heuristics- i.e. thumb rules that
consumers use in decision making. If an ingredient/ cooking style is integral
for the product meeting a key thumb rule it should be defined as core.
Explore innovation ideas that look to impact the “non core elements of the
dish” via looking at opportunities for fusion of local food preferences with
overseas food trends.
61
57. Elucidating the Example (2/2)
Lays a winning example of retaining the core but yet innovating to suite local palate
preferences.
62
58. Key implications 4 (1/1)
Observation 4: In a lot of food categories “source of origin”
stories are leveraged for credibility and authenticity to
ensure relevance and differentiation in the mind of the
consumer.
Implication 4 :
Source of origin stories can be further strengthened by
looking at “origins” that trace the historical reservoir of
the dish/ ingredient .
Specially for assimilated foods maybe pertinent to talk
about the process of “fusion” of the food in the local
cuisine . This maybe specifically relevant to markets
like Indonesia & Malaysia where adaptation of cusines
from other countries has been widespread.
63
59. Key implication 5 (1/2)
PACKAGING IMPLICATIONS
When it comes to food purity and tasty are generics that the overall positioning of the
brand & the packaging must deliver upon.
However, if one were to suggest guidelines inputs based on an analysis of the historical
reservoir some thoughts are:
Food is seen as having an indelible link with life, purity, freshness and simplicity
key. This should be captured in packaging & positioning of the brands.
Yin & Yang balance of ingredients also remains an under-explored opportunity for
food manufacturers
In Malaysia & Indonesia given the adaptation & fusion “authenticity of taste maybe
should be accorded a higher weightage
64
60. Elucidating the Example (2/2)
Indelible link of the food with
life, purity, freshness and
simplicity stands well
captured in the packaging of
the local players
65
61. Implication 6
Observation 5 : Migration Going Forward:
There are now 215m first-generation migrants around the
world: that’s 3% of the world’s population. If they were a
nation, it would be a little larger than Brazil. There are
more Chinese people living outside China than there are
French people in France. Some 22m Indians are scattered
all over the globe. Small concentrations of ethnic and
linguistic groups have always been found in surprising
places—Lebanese in west Africa, Japanese in Brazil and
Welsh in Patagonia, for instance—but they have been
joined by newer ones, such as west Africans in southern
China.- Source Economist
Implication 5: This is currently & more so in the future likely
to give rise to adopted foods. Thus food marketers need to
track and monitor these migrants to decide their portfolios &
innovation strategies in times to come
66
