About the Author
My name is Karin Meng. I`m a 5th year student at USTC. I am taking a course called Cuisine and Culture across Global Asia (GASD71) where we explore Asian-Canadian foodways and cultural relationships. The main focus of my project is rice. My research data examines what types of rice are available to consumers in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and the relationship of Chinese-Canadian households to rice in their everyday foodways.
The Research Project Process….
First, I collected data on the rice inventory of 3 supermarkets in Scarborough and Markham: Metro, Foody Mart, and T&T. Based on that, I compiled a spreadsheet of the supermarkets’ inventory of different rice brands, price, weight, place of origin, and type. In addition, I have conducted interviews with a few friends, neighbors and family members who live in GTA Chinese-Canadian households to discuss shopping and culinary habits around rice.
