Globalization Exercise # 2: Geography of Food Note: this exercise includes three documents that you must review: a) this Instructions (in word), b) the Power Point Presentation file of this Instructions (PPT), and, c) a checklist/rubric (in word). All these files are available in the course website, in the Exercises section (Exercise # 1). Here (in this section of the course website), you will find the Turnitin.com icon where you will upload your work. It is your responsibility to read and understand these instructions. In this exercise you will compose an essay based on your favorite food (dish). The title of your essay will be: “The Geography of _________” (here you will include the name of your dish of choice). Your essay must first describe the “claimed” area of origin of this dish. We refer to the “claimed area of origin” of your particular dish because there are many countries that claim to be the place where a dish originated. For example, in Latin America there are many countries that claim to be the country of origin of ceviche (a dish based on marinated raw fish or shellfish) or of arroz con pollo (chicken and rice). When you chose the dish you will be researching, the first thing you must do is to make a reference of the origin (country) where it is believed to originate. This is very important because there is a regional variation in terms of the ingredients that are used to make the dish in question. For example, in many countries that claim to be the place of origin of ceviche, tomatoes are a basic ingredient, while in other countries this is unthinkable (Many people would say, “This is not ceviche!”). Then you will proceed to enumerate all the ingredients that are included in your recipe. It is required that the recipe that you chose have at-least 10 ingredients. For this portion you must include the basic elements that make up your recipe and not any process food. By this I mean that, for example, if the recipe you are using requires to use oil, you must clearly state the type of oil that you use (i.e., olive, corn, etc.), or sausages (are these made mainly of beef, pork, turkey, etc.?), or if you need to include tomato paste, just include the name tomato and add the word “paste” in parenthesis (i.e., “tomato (paste)”). Next, you will find the area where each of these elements were domesticated or, if it is harvested locally like a mineral (i.e., salt) or a native plant or animal species that is caught locally (i.e., seafood, etc.), these will be referred to as “native” or “indigenous” ingredients. Note that most plants and animals that are used in many recipes have been domesticated in faraway regions where these recipes were developed. For example, although arroz con pollo is a local favorite in many Latin American countries, chicken were domesticated in Southeast Asia and introduced to the Americas after the arrival of the Western conquerors.

1. Globalization Exercise # 2: Geography of Food
Note: this exercise includes three documents that you must
review: a) this Instructions (in word),
b) the Power Point Presentation file of this Instructions (PPT),
and, c) a checklist/rubric (in word).
All these files are available in the course website, in the
Exercises section (Exercise # 1). Here (in
this section of the course website), you will find the
Turnitin.com icon where you will upload your
work. It is your responsibility to read and understand these
instructions.
In this exercise you will compose an essay based on your
favorite food (dish). The title of your
essay will be: “The Geography of _________” (here you will
include the name of your dish of choice).
Your essay must first describe the “claimed” area of origin of
this dish. We refer to the “claimed area of
origin” of your particular dish because there are many countries
that claim to be the place where a dish
originated. For example, in Latin America there are many
countries that claim to be the country of
origin of ceviche (a dish based on marinated raw fish or
shellfish) or of arroz con pollo (chicken and

2. rice). When you chose the dish you will be researching, the
first thing you must do is to make a
reference of the origin (country) where it is believed to
originate. This is very important because there is
a regional variation in terms of the ingredients that are used to
make the dish in question. For example,
in many countries that claim to be the place of origin of
ceviche, tomatoes are a basic ingredient, while
in other countries this is unthinkable (Many people would say,
“This is not ceviche!”).
Then you will proceed to enumerate all the ingredients that are
included in your recipe. It is
required that the recipe that you chose have at-least 10
ingredients. For this portion you must include
the basic elements that make up your recipe and not any process
food. By this I mean that, for example,
if the recipe you are using requires to use oil, you must clearly
state the type of oil that you use (i.e.,
olive, corn, etc.), or sausages (are these made mainly of beef,
pork, turkey, etc.?), or if you need to
include tomato paste, just include the name tomato and add the
word “paste” in parenthesis (i.e., “tomato
(paste)”). Next, you will find the area where each of these
elements were domesticated or, if it is

3. harvested locally like a mineral (i.e., salt) or a native plant or
animal species that is caught locally (i.e.,
seafood, etc.), these will be referred to as “native” or
“indigenous” ingredients. Note that most plants
and animals that are used in many recipes have been
domesticated in faraway regions where these
recipes were developed. For example, although arroz con pollo
is a local favorite in many Latin
American countries, chicken were domesticated in Southeast
Asia and introduced to the Americas after
the arrival of the Western conquerors.
To find the area of domestication of the most commonly used
plant and animal species you can
use the map provided at the end of this document and in the
attached PowerPoint presentation (Map:
Centers of Plant and Animal Domestication). If some of the
plant ingredients that are included in your
recipe are not listed in this map, I would highly recommend you
to use the following website develop by
Purdue University: http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/. Here
you can use their search engine to find
the specific crops that you are looking for: (go to) CropSearch.

4. STRUCTURE OF THE EXERCISE:
TABLE (25%): You will then proceed to create a table that
includes the names of all the
ingredients that make up the recipe of your dish of choice, and
the region of domestication of this plant
or animal, or country of origin. Note that the majority of the
plants and animals used in many recipes
are included in the Map: “Centers of Plant and Animal
Domestication.” Remember, all ingredients that
are original from the claimed country (or region) of origin
should be referred as Native/Indigenous –you
can also include the name of the region of domestication as
well. Your Table should be included in the
first section of your work. Please see sample table provided at
the end of this document.
MAP (25%): You will plot this information in the attached
blank world map using different
labels to represent the different regions of origin of the
ingredients of your favorite dish. Your map
must also delineate the boundaries of each of the domestication
regions of the world where your
ingredients originated. You can find this information in the

5. Map: “Centers of Plant and Animal
Domestication.” Note that there can be several ingredients that
have the same source of origin. For
example, potatoes, guinea pigs, tomatoes, papaya, lima beans,
pumpkin, strawberries, etc., have the
same origin: Andean Uplands.
You should also include in your map flow-lines that connect the
region of origin of the
ingredients to the “claimed” area of origin of your dish. The
width of these flow lines should be
adjusted to represent the number of ingredients originating in
the different centers of domestication. For
example, if the contribution of the Meso-American region to
your dish is three ingredients and the
contribution of the Andean Upland region is only ingredient,
then the flow line that connects Meso-
America with the “claimed” country of origin of this dish
should be 3-times wider than the one flowing
from the Andean region.
Since using the flow lines to represent the Native/Indigenous
ingredients is not an option, you
should use a symbol (i.e., a circle, a triangle, etc.) that
represents the number of these ingredients. This

6. symbol must be placed inside the “claimed” country of origin of
your favorite dish, and must be
http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/
included in your legend as well. Your map must also include a
label for the country of origin of your
dish. If necessary, include an arrow that originates in this label
pointing to the specific location of the
country of origin of your dish.
Every map must include the following information: title (i.e.,
“Map of _______”), and arrow and
an “N” (north) sign on top [of the arrow] pointing to the
geographic north (place it on the upper right
hand side of the map), a legend indicating the values of your
flow lines that connect the source area of
domestication with the “claimed” country of origin of your
favorite dish, the icon used for the native
ingredients, and any other information included in your map
(see map sample included in the PPT: “The
Geography of Ceviche”).
THE ESSAY - DATA ANALYSIS – (45%) AND
BIBLIOGRAPY (5%): In this section you
must de-construct and re-construct all the elements (ingredients)

7. that are included in your dish
highlighting the area of origin of the ingredients, and the
claimed area of origin of the dish. This is an
integral part of your work and must be as detailed as possible.
Remember that this is a geography
exercise and spatial distribution should be highlighted in your
analysis. Your essay must also include
comments of the number of ingredients that can be considered
native (originated in the domestication
region where the “claimed” country of origin if this is the case)
and exotic (non-native/introduced
species). In this section you will be evaluated in terms of the
detail and thoroughness of the information
you provide. This means that your analysis should be as
descriptive and detailed as possible. For
example, you can start by making a basic statistical analysis
commenting the contribution of each region
of domestication using percentages (see PPT sample).
This essay should be at-least 800 words in length. You must
also demonstrate knowledge of the
topic and include at least one additional reference (textbook or
a popular news forum) included in the
essay portion that relates to your favorite dish; this can include
a reputable website that describes the

8. recipe you are using. You must also include this reference in a
separate page (Bibliography/Reference),
making a full citation of this source.
Any geographically-based essay must answer three broad
questions: Where? Why? (and how?),
and, So what? (or, in other words, why is this important?) For
example, where is the center of
domestication of these plants and animals? Why (and how)
were these ingredients introduced to the
region where your recipe was developed? In answering to the
“So what?” question you must use the
information you have included in the first two sections (Where?
and Why?); this is an overview of the
principles elements of your recipe and must include a
conclusion’s paragraph of your analysis.
Technical Aspects: Your paper must conform to the following
formatting: 12-point font (Arial, Times
New Roman, Garamond, or Book Antiqua), one-inch margins all
around, double-spaced, and number
the pages. Please note that any exercise that does not follow
this format will receive a 10-point

9. discount in the final grade for this assignment.
Final Details (very important):
You must upload your essay, including your map, and
bibliography in one word document to the
Turnitin.com link included in our course webpage. You can
find the link to Turnitin.com inside the
Exercises section (Exercise # 2) in the Course Content. If you
experience any difficulties to upload your
work, you must send me your complete work using the course
messaging system in a word document
before the deadline. LATE WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED BUT
WILL RECEIVE A 10-POINT
DISCOUNT FOR EACH WEEK THIS IS LATE. NO LATE
WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED
AFTER TWO WEEKS OF THE DEADLINE.
Your answer must be your own, original thoughts. If you
plagiarize your thoughts from a website,
journal, or any other source, not only you will be sad because
you cannot write the small number of
words of your own, but because you will earn a failing grade in
the course.

11. Geography of Food
What is your favorite food/dish?
*Ceviche (Peru)
*Since this is the sample provided, no student is allowed to use
this dish to compose their
exercise.
Deconstructing a Dish: “Claimed”
country of origin and Ingredients
• In this exercise you will compose an essay based on
your favorite dish.
• The title of your essay will be: “The Geography of
_________.”
• Your essay must first describe the “claimed” area of
origin of the dish.
– Many countries claim to be the place where a dish
originates; recipes are not the same.
• Ceviche (lime-marinated raw fish/shelffish);
• Arroz con pollo (chicken and rice).
After selecting your dish…
• Enumerate all the ingredients that are included

12. in your recipe.
– Your recipe must have at-least 10 ingredients.
– Include the basic elements that make up your recipe
and not any processed food.
• Some examples:
– Oil (i.e., olive, corn, etc.);
– Sausages (i.e., beef, pork, turkey?);
– Tomato paste;
– Just include the name of the basic ingredient and in
parenthesis its
form.
» For example: “tomato (paste)”; “corn (oil)”; “pork (sausage)”;
etc.
Area of Domestication
• Next, you will find the area where each of these elements
were domesticated.
• Use map “Centers of Plant and Animal Domestication”
(next slide) as the main source of reference.
• Note that most plants and animals that are used in many
recipes have been domesticated in faraway regions where
these recipes were developed.
– For example, although arroz con pollo is a local favorite in

13. many Latin American countries, chicken was domesticated in
South and Southeast Asia and introduced to the Americas
after the arrival of the European conquistadors (key
definition: relocation diffusion).
Centers of Plant and Animal
Domestication

Native/Indigenous Ingredients
• If it is an ingredient that is harvested locally,
like a mineral (i.e., salt), or a native plant or
animal species (i.e., fish, shellfish, etc.), these
will be referred to as “native” or “indigenous.”
• If your dish originates in a country that is part
of a region of domestication, then all
ingredients domesticated here must be noted
as either native or using the name of the
region of domestication included, but not both.
– This also applies to the first paragraph of this slide.
Ingredients not Listed in the Map?
• If some of the ingredients that are included in your
recipe are not listed in this map, you can google it.

14. • “Area of domestication of ________?”
• However, I would highly recommend you to use the
following website develop by Purdue University:
http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/
• Here you can use their search engine to find the
specific crops (plants only) that you are looking for: (go
to) CropSearch.

Key Definition:
Mobility: Relocation Diffusion
new location carrying new ideas or practices with them.
A prime example is the migration of Christianity with
European settlers who came to America, or the introduction
of plants and animals.
Key Definitions:
The Columbian Exchange
• The arrival of Europeans to the Americas brought two worlds
previously isolated into contact.

22. • This led to environmental changes that transformed the
peoples, economies, and landscapes of both continents.
• The “Columbian Exchange” resulted from the introduction of
“exotic biological material” from both sides of the Atlantic
(the Old and New worlds).
• The exchange of plants is the most widespread and long-
lasting impact of the “exchange”, affecting peoples and
landscapes around the world (i.e., potatoes, manioc/cassava,
corn, tomatoes, chilies, chocolate, tobacco).
Transported European Landscape
• Spaniards introduced
horses, pigs, cattle, sheep,
wheat, barely, olives, and
grapes transforming the
Latin American and
Caribbean landscapes.
– Sugarcane!
• The two systems merged
and altered each other in
different ways, changing
the economic culture of
both groups.
Technical Aspects
• Your paper must conform to the following

23. formatting:
• 12-point font (Arial, Times New Roman,
Garamond, or Book Antiqua),
• One-inch margins all around,
• Double-spaced, and,
• Number the pages.
• Any exercise that does not follow this
format will receive a 10% discount in the
final grade for this assignment.

Geography of Food Exercise: Checklist (Rubric)
Include your name, date, and a title in the first page of your
work. Your work must
include the following sections in this order: Title, Table, Map,
Essay, and
Bibliography/References.
1) Table (25%)*: Your table must include the following
information:
a) A title with the name of the dish and the claimed country of
origin of your dish at the top and
before introducing your table.
b) The table must include two columns with the following
information:

26. b.1) First column: a list of at-least 10 ingredients.
If using a by-product of any plant or animal, then the main
source of your ingredient
must be included first and then, using parenthesis, include the
name of the by-product.
For example: tomato (paste); goat (cheese); wheat (flour), olive
(oil).
If your dish does not include 10 ingredients, you can add sides
to complete this
requirement (i.e., a salad, steamed vegetables, etc. that are
traditional “companions” –
sides- when these dishes are served).
b.2) The second column must include the region of
domestication of these ingredients
using the “Centers of Plant and Animal Domestication” map
provided, or any other
reputable source. If you are using another source, meaning a
reputable source (which
must be included in your Bibliography), the regions of
domestication of these
ingredients must be included in your table using the regions
provided on the map. For
example, if the source you are using states that an ingredient
was domesticated in
ancient Egypt or Mesopotamia, this ingredient would have been
domesticated in the
Mediterranean or the Southwest Asia region of domestication,
respectively.
If your dish includes an animal or plant that is native (also
called indigenous) to the
claimed country of origin of your dish, you must include it in
your table as “native” or

27. “indigenous.” In most cases these will apply to seafood caught
locally or salt.
If your dish includes an ingredient that was domesticated in two
regions, use only one of
these regions in your map. This is the case of cattle
(Mediterranean and Southwest
Asia) or rice (West Africa and South and Southeastern Asia). It
is also important to
mention that, although chili peppers are only included in the
map provided in the Meso-
America region, these were also domesticated independently in
the Andean Uplands;
this is the reason I include them in the sample provided as a
native ingredient.
If you are using a dish that is original from a country that
includes two regions of
domestication (i.e., Colombia: Andes Uplands and Meso-
America), then you will have to
consider the specific origin of this dish (if it is from the north
or Caribbean coast of
Colombia, it will fall under the Meso-America region of
domestication), or you must
select only one region as native and the other one as a separate
region, but not both as
native for that specific dish. If this is the case, this fact must
be noted in your essay.
c) Although not required in this section, your work may include
a chart with the basic statistics
of your dish next to your table. This information is required to
be included in your essay when

28. you answer the ‘where’ question (origin of these ingredients).
In this chart you must include
the contributions of each region of domestication to the make-
up of your dish. Completing this
portion will be very easy because you are required to include
ten items (ingredients) in your
work, and each item equals to ten percent of the total number of
ingredients included in your
dish (i.e., 5 items will correspond to 50%).
*Note: If your table includes incorrect information (plants and
animals not domesticated in the
regions cited in your work/table), this fact will make your work
inaccurate (including your table
and essay), and will be reflected in your grade (5% discount in
the final grade for each item that
falls within this category).
2) Map (25%)*: Your map must include the following
information:
a) Title (i.e., “The Geography of _________” (name of your
dish)).
b) Orientation arrow pointing to the geographical north.
c) A legend that includes all symbols used in your map (i.e.,
flow lines, native ingredients icon).
d) Labels:
d.1) Labels for each region of domestication included in your
recipe, and the shapes of
these regions’ boundaries.

29. d.2) A label for the claimed country of origin of your dish
located in its exact position.
Use an arrow connecting the country label to the exact position
of this country if
necessary.
e) Flow lines that connect the regions of domestication of the
ingredients included in your dish
and the claimed country of origin. The width of the flow lines
must represent the contribution
of each region of domestication as well.
*Note: Each of these items is worth 5% of the final grade for
this assignment.
3) Essay (45%)*: Your essay must include the following
information and other
requirements listed below:
a) Meet the minimum required number of words for the essay
(800 words). This word count
does not include the Bibliography, Table, Map, and other
information included in other sections
of your work.
b) Demonstrate knowledge of the topic using key definitions
(i.e., cultural diffusion –
relocation and expansion diffusion-, the Columbian Exchange,
globalization, etc.).
c) Include at-least one pertinent reference (textbook or a

30. reputable source) that relates to your
dish, and introduce this source by making a notation in your
work (as a direct quote or in your
own words; see PPT for details).
d) Your essay must answer three broad questions (Where? Why
[and how]? and, So what?)
that any geographically-based work must include.
e) Do not include the preparation (recipe) of your dish in your
essay. This is irrelevant to the
purpose of this exercise, and will not be counted towards the
minimum word requirement. A
10% discount in the final grade for this assignment will also
apply.
f) Format your work following all technical aspects: 12-point
font (Arial, Times New Roman,
Garamond, or Book Antiqua), one-inch margins all around,
double-spaced, and, number the
pages. Not following this format will result in a 10% discount
in the final grade for this
assignment.
*Note: In this section you will be evaluated in terms of the
detail and thoroughness of the
information you provide, showing knowledge of the key
