Mediated Brief

Polish and Mexican cuisines are both similar and different to each other. Both are very traditional and have been passed down from generation to generation. Both are vibrant and use a variety of ingredients to compose the meals. Also both are very enjoyable meals. They are different because though they both use a variety of ingredients, the ingredients are quite different. Polish food is Slavic so its focused on meat, potatoes, cabbages, noddles, dumplings, and much more. Mexican food is focused more on meat, tortillas, tomatoes, avocados, corn, beans, and spices. Its obvious how different the two cuisines are. Another aspect where they are different is with the time it takes to cook the meals. Most Mexican meals are rather quick to cook while Polish meals are very time consuming because food is a very important part of the Polish culture. When it comes to arguing which food is the best, I think its best to leave it up to the individual. Everyone has different tastes and opinions; what i might enjoy to eat, may not be enjoyed by another. I have tried both foods and my opinion on Polish food being the best wont change but it is fair to say that Mexican food is very different and does have certain aspects that might win others over. Polish food is being introduced to the American culture more and more each day while Mexican food is already here. It has nothing to do with the food not being good, it has to do with the countries positions. Mexico is a neighboring country and Poland is over seas so its obvious which food is more present in our country.
