Columbian Exchange Food Blog















For this performance task, you are an aspiring writer who is both a foodie and a history buff. You have been given the opportunity to write an entry for a food blog. You are assigned the task of critiquing a food dish at a local restaurant, and writing about how the ingredient(s) in the dish were a part of the Columbian Exchange. You will choose a dish to critique, make sure at least one ingredient was part of the Columbian Exchange, and write your entry. The entry should be historically accurate, grammatically correct and entertaining. While explaining the route the ingredient(s) took to get to the table in the restaurant you will demonstrate understanding of the economic and cultural impact of the Columbian Exchange. You should also use visual artifacts in your entry to make it more appealing. The visuals should include one of the ingredient and/or dish, and one of the ingredient(s) route in the Columbian Exchange. This is an opportunity to use your creative side, but be sure to base it on historical facts.
