Download or read book Acquired Tastes written by Brenda L. Beagan and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2014-11-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magazine articles, news items, and self-improvement books tell us that our daily food choices – whether we opt for steak or vegetarian, a TV dinner or a sit-down meal – serve as bold statements about who we are as individuals. Acquired Tastes makes the case that our food habits say more about where we come from and who we would like to be. This intimate portrait of eating habits and attitudes towards food in over one hundred Canadian families in both rural and urban settings reveals that our food choices never solely reflect personal tastes. Age, gender, social class, ethnicity, health concerns, food availability, and political and moral concerns shape the meanings that families attach to food and their self-identities. They also influence how its members respond to social discourses on health, beauty, and the environment, a finding that has profound implications for public health campaigns.

Download or read book Book of Donair written by Lindsay Wickstrom and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-17 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you call them gyros, kebabs, doner or donairs, this guide tells you everything you want to know about the history of the world-famous street food. Book of Donair: Everything you want to know about Nova Scotia's unofficial food, is the definitive guide to this much beloved delicacy. In Book of Donair, Lindsay Wickstrom explores the history of the donair, and the people who shaped this Halifax-born kebab into the iconic Canadian street food it has become. Donairs were originally not for the lucky-in-love, but the recourse of the degenerate. They were the butt of toilet humour, the scapegoat of indigestion. The mystery meat with the secret sauce was wrapped in urban legend. It was so commonplace that we took it for granted, no more significant than hamburgers or spaghetti. We didn't realize that it was ours. It wasn't until we made westward pilgrimages to Ontario or Alberta for school or work that the donair became a symbol of home. Book of Donair has everything you want to know about donairs--and were going to ask anyway.

On the third of the five days spent in ICU at the hospital in Yellowknife, Michael Ouellette woke up with little, to no memory of what happened that shocked even his wife who sat right by his bedside. Through the efficient efforts of the Medevac team, he was flown 190 miles out of the isolated mine site north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. The next 28 days under the care of the skilled team of medical professionals was just the beginning of a roller coaster ride of challenges as he worked through reorientation to a life altogether different from what he was used to. As life hands him limes and lemons, he looks at the new meaning of adventure in his life with humor and insight, just thankful to be alive. Death snatched him away but he managed to slip through its fingers like grains of sand. His second chance at life proves that the Great Spirit is more powerful than death. An acquired brain injury poses a twist to this new beginning as Ouellette pulls you into his world.
