In Food and Diaspora the author writes, “When food objects, processes- even ideas – spread from one society to another, the receiving society is likely to modify, often to misunderstand, and usually to redefine what it has received.” I find this a very interesting concept, especially if we consider Jorge Torres’ story and the sugar cane travel. Sugar cane was not native to places like Puerto Rico, but when it was brought there it became such a key part of the culture. How do you think the use and importance of sugar cane changed when integrated into their culture? How does the quote relate to Torres’ story?
