Pick one word from the reading---seriously, just one word. Why did you find that word fascinating? (length is not an issue this week, so just write a sentence or so)
A foie, because I don't know what the word means or what it is. But after researching the word all I have to say is yuck. I find the word very amusing and hard to pronounce I'm not going to lie but at the same time sounds kind of sexy. Could it be a French word I don't know.
The word that i found fascinating was "divertissement" because it sound foreign but also similar to a word in Latin that I am familiar which translates to entertainment. It was also fascinating because after searching it up I found that for French it has additional meanings than it does for Italian language or Latin. Lastly, I liked how the author included this word in the sentence because it made a visualization of the plate that was being described.
The word that I found interesting was "fireworks" in the last paragraph. It was appealing to me because that is a very elaborate way to describe a meal.
The word I found fascinating was "cachaca" only because of how the word actually sounds when I read it. I also did not know what it meant so I decided to search it up and it is said to be a "distilled spirit made from sugarcane juice". It sounds pretty interesting and I might like to try it sometime.
I found the word "gastronomical" interesting because I like how it combines the word gastro and astronomical. I think the combination kind of silly, and a great way to describe a delicious food.
The word "matador" caught my attention because I had never heard of it and I was wondering what the restaurant had portraits of. After researching, I became saddened because this is a bullfighter who's task is to kill the bull. I've known of this "sport" before, but I didn't know exactly what it was called until now.
The word that I found fascinating is "foie". When i read it in a sentence, it sounded very appealing, but after looking up the meaning I got to say, I would never dare to try it.
One word that was interesting to me was "cigala". He says this is a Norwegian lobster, so its strange because I've never seen or heard of one. I wonder if they are different in color, size, or overall appearance. I just found this to be very interesting because now I want to try a Norwegian lobster.
Being familiar with most of the culinary terms used, there was one I had not heard of and looked it up while I was reading the article. The word is "caipirinha", and according to google it is a "Brazilian cocktail made with cachaca, lime or lemon juice, sugar, and crushed ice." Being it was served in sorbet form, can only imagine how tasty it is.
While reading the restaurant review I would have to say that the word that caught my attention would be "exquisite". I found "exquisite" to be fancy it makes the food sound like its high class and top quality.
The word I found fascinating was "foie gras", because it seemed like a yummy lollipop. I searched up the definition of foie gras and I will not ever try it. It does not sound tasty!
The word that stand to me the most is "theatricality", it is not a complicated nor fancy word, but the use of this word created a juxtaposition of two things. It created a side by side comparison of how the restaurant food is not nearly good as its ambiance. This gave me the impression that the place is pretentious, and not good at all.
I found Felliniesque interesting because it was hard to pronounce. Every word I struggle with pronouncing, I tend to investigate it’s meaning because it usually helps me articulate the word a little better. Felliniesque also caught my attention because I wanted to know why the author used it to refer to restaurant. Turns out, fellinesque refers to a film producer’s fantastic or surreal inspired films. The author used the word to interpret how extraordinary his experience at The Bazaar was. I loved how the author used fellinesque to describe his experience at The Bazaar because Federico Fellini the film producer was Italian and the restaurant The Bazaar is Spanish inspired.
"Gambas al ajillo" was a fascinating name, it sounds interesting and fancy. Of course, after looking up what it was, the looks of it make me hungry just by staring at it. It sounds and looks delicious! I would not mind having a taste of it!
The one word I had to absolutely look up was "tchotchke". Supposedly, this is a rather popular word which is, according to Google, a small object that is decorative rather than functional. It is a Yiddish word from the 1960s. The spelling of the word was absolute fascinating, and its pronunciation rolled right off the tongue for me.
The word that stood out to me the most was "extravagent," because this is how I picture the restaurant. There is so much going on inside from many food menus from different parts of the restaurant and caricatures being drawn to a card reader. The place isn't really settled with one cuisine and really all over the boards when it comes to the food.
"Bazaar" is the word that stuck out for me. This is the name of the restaurant, but if I went to this restaurant I wouldn't think it was bazaar at all. I would love to go to this restaurant.
The word that caught my eye was 'caipirinha', mainly because I've never heard it before. Also the author used it in context of describing a nitro cocktail, so I'd like to see what it looks like and taste it!
The word I found interesting was "Fellini-esque". It looks like a French word but it may be a pronoun. I've never heard it before but it seems interesting.
The word I found fascinating in the restaurant review was "cachaça" because it was a word I had never heard before. It also sounded strange when I said it so I decided to look it up. I now know what it is.
The word I found most interesting would be foie gras. I have heard this word many times before on the food network so it was very familiar to me. The word has a very rich and fancy tone to it, and the description words throughout the piece add even more flare to it. I immediately felt like it was a word for something I would rally love to eat. Having researched the word and now having a full idea of its meaning, I can say it is something I would never even want to taste.
I do not have a lot of experience in the culinary world, many terms are new for me. I’m not familiar with drinks either, however I choose “magic mojitos” because it reminds me that I have not drink one yet.
The word that I found the most interesting was innocent-looking. I found this word interesting because it was used to describe food. We usually use this word to describe the looks of someone or something that is alive and can move. I had never seen this word used to describe something in this way.
A word that I found interesting in this article was tchotchke, used to describe the restaurants design. A tchotchke is a small bauble or miscellaneous item that I would associate with something my wife's mother would have too many of. It does sound like eccentric restaurant I'll have my meal without tchotchke's please.
The word that caught my attention the most was , magic. The word magic was used to emphazie the taste of the olives, but I feel as if the whole experience a person has at this restaurant is like magic, you don't know what you're gonna get but it's interesting and enjoyable. The way the atmosphere was described was magical to me.
Caipirinha caught my eye because my family is from Brazil and that is a very popular drink there. I knew I had heard it before, but couldn't place it until I looked it up. I'd love to go to The Bazaar and try one!
The word that stood out to me the most was tchotchke. It made me think of a Japanese word for some reason. Although there were many words that stood out to me, and required many google definitions, tchotchke stood out. Not only am I lost in pronouncing it, but also never heard the word in a conversation in my life. (So I believe).
One word which sounded interesting to me was the word "Patisserie". This is because the word reminds me of tasty pastries like pizza, buttery biscuits, donuts, cakes, and marshmallow-flavored foods. Patisserie reminds me of crispy, crusty, creamy, and scrumptious foods mixed in coconut oil, butter, salt, vegan cheese, and olive oil. This same word closely resembles the words "pasta" and "potatoes", even though I don't know its language of origin.
The phrase I found interesting was "foie gras". I have never heard of this term before and had to look it up. It means "fat liver", and it is a luxury French food product. Although the phrase sounded appealing, after knowing the meaning, Im not so sure.
The word that i found fascination was "Bazaar." I understand thats how the restaurant is named, but since I heard it the first time, it stood out to me. I feel like it would be a great restaurant to go to.
My word is caprese. This is a simple treat that teases your taste buds and have you coming back for more. I replace the olive oil with balsamic vinaigrette and enjoy.
The word that i found to be most interesting is "ebullient". I found this word interesting because the author used it as an adjective to describe Andrés. I was curious to know what the word meant so i googled it. I was surprised to find that ebullient means cheerful and full of energy. I love the way experienced authors use different words to say something simple. I think it makes the reading more intriguing and also helps readers build their vocabulary.
I chose the word tchotchke" because it stood out to me as something I had never ever seen in my life. After doing research the words simply means; a small object that is decorative rather than strictly functional. I was shocked that it had such a simplified meaning but it was sure stuck in my head while reading the article, because of how it was put in the article.
The word that I found fascinating was, "gambas." If the author, S. Irene Virbila, wouldn't have followed with a description of this word being the name for shrimp I would have never guessed that's what it was. "Al ajillo," is more obvious because "ajillo" is relatively similar to the writing and pronunciation used in Spanish, "ajo". However, in Spanish this dish is called "Camarones al mojo de ajo."
I choose "cigalas". I like this writers' way of describing the food and the restaurant better than the last one. This review makes m really want to visit the restaurant and try tings I've never ad or hard of before. I chose this word because it means "Norwegian lobster" being as I can't eat sea food reading about it made me really said I won't get the chance to try it.
A word I found fascinating was paddlefish. I chose this word because I had never heard of this type of fish before and was curious to look it up and see what it looked like.
The word I found fascinating was the foie word. I had never heard of it and did not even know how to pronounce it when I was reading. It sounds very unique and like a dish found at a classy and prestigous restaurant that serves delicious cuisine.
The word I found to be so intresting was billowy. Billowy is a great way to describe something that if flowy and curtain like. The review used the word in that form. Billowy in my opinion couldn't be used to describe much else then curtains.
The word that I found that was the most fascinating was tchotchke. When I saw it my whole faced changed in confusion. I looked it up and it something that has no structural function because it’s just decorative.
After reading this article full of words I've never even heard before there was one word that really struck me, divertissement. The word orginates from the French word 'diversion' meaning a minor entertainment or diversion. The word itself is is normally used to describe a short dance within a ballet that displays a dancer's technical skill. I loved learning a new word and can now add it to my dictionary.
- There were a few words that stood out to me, some I had never heard of and had to seek the definition of and others that I knew but made me think. A simple word that stood out to me was "melts". The word "melts" shined above the rest because the topic was food and it make me think about all food we consume melts and then it made me think of other things in life that melt. It's silly, but the point is, it distracted me the most for some odd reason.
I like how the word "magic" is used to describe food and flavors. It reminds me of times when my meal is just made to perfection and makes my tastebuds dance. Times like those I could really describe food as being magic.
I choose the word "delightful" for a few reasons. Mostly, the word "delightful" was descriptive of the whole experience. After reading the review I felt as though the writer had a truly delightful experience. While the word delightful seems very simple, I personally feel that it can be used in a way that carries a lot of weight. I also choose the word "delightful" because it has an overall positive outlook. When looking for a place to visit or a restaurant to eat at I am looking for a positive experience worth my time and money. When hearing a review that gives an impression of a delightful experience I am more willing to give that place a try.
!!!!NO MEETING THIS SATURDAY!!!! (we will meet later in the semester)
EMAIL: bschmoll@csub.edu
Greetings,
This course has some weekly assignments that you must keep up on. There are also a few other papers and books to read throughout the semester. But if you keep up with the weekly assignments on here, your writing will improve and you will put yourself in a great position to do well in this class!
These are time sensitive. You do not receive credit if you write them after the deadline(Saturday) each week. Furthermore, if you are in the habit of writing everything on Saturday you will not receive full credit. Why? There would be no time for others to interact with your writing. Write early; write often! Right? Right!
HERE IS THE WORK THAT MUST BE COMPLETED EACH WEEK...
FIRST, there's a blog entry (about 250 words) which will have you respond to a hopefully thought-provoking question. Each week, you must do the blog entry with enough time left in the week to be able to enter into dialogue online with your classmates. Write, reply, write more, reply more, and then write and reply more.
SECOND, there's a reading. There’s no blog entry associated with this. Just read.
THIRD, there's a written response to the reading. Your reading and writing on the blog must be completed by the SATURDAY (by midnight) of the week in which the reading falls. This entry should be a long paragraph. YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESPOND TO OTHER STUDENTS IN PART THREE EACH WEEK.
