Religion in the Kitchen Response!

By Anonymous -

    I found this book quite interesting, not only for the fact of Perez's colorful and descriptive language but the fact that is was an ethnography. While I know an ethnography doesn't have much to do with religion it strikes me because I am currently trying to make my own ethnograph for my English class. This gave me an idea of how I wanted t do my own ethnography. Something else I really enjoyed was that unlike the other books we have read she submersed herself in this culture and let people from the culture show and describe what it is like from an inside point of view, which I think others, like Ackerman, were not able to do!

    Actually, ethnographies have very much to do with religions, since very often, it's religion or religion-like practices that give ethnic groups their distinctive qualities as a group, as well as unite them with the awareness that they are a group with a shared culture and history. I'm glad Perez's book gave you a model to write and ethnography. I agree with you; I think she does it quite well!

I think having the opportunity to take Smells and Bells and then experiencing a worldwide pandemic came with good timing. Oftentimes, we’re so rushed to get from one one place to another that we miss out on what happens around us. We’re so accustomed to the lifestyle of being busy that it has become the norm for many of us. However, the pandemic has forced us to slow down. We’re now appreciating everything that we had previously taken for granted and noticing things in our surroundings that we have never noticed before.  Take this quarantining/social distancing as an opportunity to be more aware of what you experience through the senses. I don’t think my senses have necessarily heightened over the past 5 weeks, but I am actively making the choice to pay more attention to what I see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. I like going on nature/mindfulness walks and basking in the sunshine out in my backyard. This morning, I could hear a faint noise from the wind, hear the birds chirping, f

Food in the Afterlife

In Religion in the Kitchen: Cooking, Talking, and the Making of Black Atlantic Traditions , Perez talks of Ashabi and her grandchildren providing food offerings to their ancestors. This immediately reminded me of the practice of food sacrifice in early China. I've taken Chinese language classes for about 7 years now and in one of the lessons, we learned about food as well as the history of food in Chinese culture. Ashabi and her grandchildren would give food offerings to their ancestors every day. This included nine beverages (coffee, liquor, and water mixed with sugar and molasses) and nine square pieces of coconut topped with red palm oil and guinea pepper. The offerings would also include whatever food was dropped on the ground. In their house, food dropping on the floor signified more than it would in common American households. It signified that the ancestors wanted that food and had willingly made it fall to the floor. They also used dishware that had been chipped which was
