APPLYING

4. Ethnography of food

• How is “fiesta food” defined by the people?

 - “Fiesta food” varies from place to place, depending on which city or municipality you are
in. We know that each place has its own cultures and food is no exception. For example,
the Municipality of Zamboanguita is best known for its famous “tabios” while Tanjay
City is known for its “budbod.” In the Philippines, lechon is always present during these
celebrations unlike other countries. These are the foods that we are always looking
forward to taste during fiesta celebrations.
• What preparations were made in order to come up with various special dishes?
- Special delicacies were created by our ancestors and are now altered or revised by the
locals to suit the preferences of their visitors. For them to create these dishes, they
would follow a guide or their own family recipe, if they have one.
• Who were involved in the preparation?
- Usually, the owners of the house are involved in the preparation of these dishes. Fiestas
have always been fun and exciting because this is when families gather altogether and
bring and eat food.
• How have your senses informed your understanding and interpretation of the fiesta through
food?
- By exploring the different kinds of “fiesta food” and of course, tasting the dishes, I really
can tell that each place offers a different kind of taste.

ANALYZING

5. Differentiate the nature and functions of Social Science disciplines with the natural sciences and
humanities.
- People frequently mix up Social Science and Humanities because they both study society
and human relationships in general. The fundamental distinction between these two is
that Humanities is more subjective, relying heavily on ideas and assumptions. Social
science, on the other hand, is more objective, as it is founded on studies of reality, facts,
and reasoning, and it is approached in a more scientific manner.
