[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't have another culture, what are you bringing to the school multicultural potluck? Just a regular side dish? I tried to sign up for chocolate chip cookies and the organizers told me it should be a traditional food from my household.

I'm really trying here, but these events come up multiple times a year and there doesn't seem room for people who don't have other cultures. I mean we're mostly [b]British and German b[/b]ut it's been a couple hundred years and we have no ties to any of that food. I don't even feel like we have regional foods from the US that my family regularly eats (they did not want regional US foods though). I sort of felt like chocolate chip cookies were one of my family's specialties. If we don't have one, should we just pick someone else's culture and make a dish? [/quote]

I'm from Germany.  Would you like me to link some fairly easy recipes for you that are authentic and often used?  :) [/quote]

OP here- no that seems fake and inauthentic to me. Why is there so much emphasis on multiculturalism in schools? I don't really see this anywhere else and it just seems divisive. Only in America is American culture not a culture. I know Europeans definitely think we have American food and our own culture. [/quote]
