Today i went to the Carnival in California with fellow food critics, Sophie Frostbaum and Margaret Turner for a fun day of relaxing. At the carnival we rode the ferris wheel, loop of terror, and the flipping ship. After riding these thrilling rides, we decided to sit down and have lunch. We all decided to eat corndogs and french fries, the typicall carnival food. In all my years I have never had such an amazingly delicious corndog. There was just the right amount of bread around the dog and the hot dog, made of pork, was cooked perfectly. I even went in for seconds.
This crondog was so amazing that i immedietly asked the cook for the recipie. As he was telling me step by step what he did, he began to go into the history of the ingredients. The one ingredient that caught my eye was the pork used in the hot dog because he began to speak about it's history in the Columbian exchange. I learned that pigs came from the old world, Europe, to the new world, America, becuase when the Europenas came over to America, many things began to be traded between the two. For example some foods from the old world were, pigs, cows, and chickens, and from the new world were, turkeys, avocados, and potatoes. Thanks to the Columbian exchange, now we have many foods that we eat almost everyday.
Today was a successful day. I went to the carnival with friends, eat a delicious corndog, and even learned about the history of some of the foods we eat.
