Gastronomy as an Educational Resource Comenius Project: my experience.
In the beginning, some of the people who decided to participate in this project (I count myself among them) weren’t sure about what this Comenius project was exactly going to be. We were told the project had to do with gastronomy and different countries working together to create different activities which would result in new and interesting educative experiences for pupils and teachers. It didn’t sound bad at all. As time went on, I had the chance to discover all the important advantages the project would bring about for my students and for me, as a teacher.
The project has given us the opportunity to learn
vocabulary and cultural aspects related to gastronomy, but it has been more
than that: it has given students and teachers the opportunity to practice the
language we are studying in class in context (English, although I have been
surprised to see my students speaking French, Italian… they have felt free and
highly motivated to use any language to communicate with other students in the different
countries they have been to).
So, the issue of “learning languages” has been
correctly tackled. But I don’t want to consider only that as a positive aspect.
What about “learning from other people”? What about “learning about life”? I have
been surprised by the improvement in my students’ ability to connect with
people from a different culture; my students’ ability to solve
problems that they had to face in a new situation and in a new country; and my
students’ ability to react to problems with a smile, showing a resolute
attitude in order to find a solution.
In conclusion, I can honestly say that everything in this
experience has been beneficial and enjoyable. I want to thank all the people
who have participated in it; all the people who have worked to create a
motivating and welcoming atmosphere during these years. I think the coordinator
Jose Luis Ruiz has made an incredible job, as he has shown great organizational
skills (it’s complicated to meet everybody’s requirements) and a good sense of humor,
which has encouraged us to work together. Thanks everyone for an extraordinary
experience!

The first thing we’d like to say is that this trip was a good thing for
all of us, we had wonderful relationships with our different penfriends and
their families and friends. This experience has allowed us to have another
vision of Turkey, nicer and warmer than what we usually see on TV news.
One week before leaving and going to Turkey, we were really afraid of how we would be welcomed by our penfriends and their families, how they would be when we would be in their flats.
One week before leaving and going to Turkey, we were really afraid of how we would be welcomed by our penfriends and their families, how they would be when we would be in their flats.
Even if we had spoken to them on facebook, and created connections, we
were still nervous about other people. Some of us wrote all our feelings in our
travel books during the trip. Everything
was easier when we arrived and met them: all the families and penfriends were
waiting for us in Buyukcekmece. We spent the whole week with them: We visited
the city, the big bazar and ate in a typical Turkish restaurant. We took some
photos and practised sports with teachers, this was really pleasant and funny.
In the afternoons we visited monuments, factories, went on horse riding. This
was so great and we visited the old Istanbul too and even a mosque. In fact, in
only one week we visited wonderful places and met wonderful people. We tasted
all meals which were typical Turkish meals, some of them had bad taste but others were
really good.
In a nustshell this week was filled with happiness and amazing encounters,
and we discovered a country we didn’t
know anything about ; besides, now, we know some words in Turkish.

Chocolate with insects !
The ideal gift for start the
Entomophagy :
This box of 12 chocolates is the result of a
collaboration between Micronutris and Master Chocolatier Guy Roux. It is a mix
between the voluptuous chocolate and crunchy insect : they delight the curious.
It is also an original gift to offer that will surprise your family as friends

Chocolates and insects of quality :
Insects are edible insects born and bred in France by
Micronutris , and fed from healthy and natural foods. Without Sugar and 100 %
natural, these chocolates are manufacturing handcrafted by French.
Chocolate scorpions
After some
years, the mondial population will have not food enought. So, we will eat insects to save the world and because it will have not meat for all the population.
We suggest one of recipe of insects.
Recipe of
chocolate scorpions :
First, we
bake the scorpions on the stole and melt down the chocolate on the microwave at
40°C. Soak the scorpions on the chocolate. Wait they harden and you can eat
them with a cup of coffee or a cup of tea.

Eat insects !
In world, we can eat today insects in differents
forms : direct or indirect.
As there is less and less meat, the Scientifics showed
that it was good eating insects which give vitamins B ;B2 ; and D.
This gastronomy that has already started is called
« alternative food » and the insects are less expensive and more
vitamined than meat.

Do you want to take an american breakfast ? I suggest you locuts pancakes caramelized. In fact, because of population growth, we have to find solutions so as to feed everybody. Entomophagy is one of the more important one.

You can also savor a

Insects, food of future !
The permanent
increase of the population will oblige us to eat insects in a few years.
Indeed, cattle,pigs, sheeps and chicken farms require many space whereas the insects
need less space.
small pea
and these worms of flour
There is a
restaurant in the Bretagne the chief David Faure offers dishes with insects. In
some countries the population already eat insects, for example in Mexico and in
Colombia, the people eat the insects. An American expert has calculated that
eight kilogram of crickets do 23479 calories either 43 hamburgers. While, we
already eat about 500 grams of insects per year. May be that in 5 years the
population will eat insects.

Would you eat insects ?
Do you want
a pizza with animal protéins which comes from Insects or towards flours. A
restaurant in Guidel a city which is loacted in Bretagne in France serve this
kind of food . Yes I know, it seems disgusted but the restaurant serve
this kind of insects are hidden in the pizza.
In the
future, because of the demographic increase, the traditional breeding could not
give animals proteins enough.
But it is
easy to breed insect, quickly, with not a lot of water, and surface ground.
This breedings are environmental safely.
We already
eat some insecst about 500 g when we are riding a bike or in the jam, the fruit
juices, the bread…
Our
ancètres from Lucy the australopithècus to Cro-Magnon were eating such a lot of
insect that they wer be able to eat the all termite’s nest for breakfast.
About 1.2
millions of people already eat insects in Asia, Africa, South America. In
Colombia, people eat ant like caviar.
The
European community give 3 millions of euros to scientific research to
consumption of insect.
So will you
eat insects?
