After buying, tasting, shopping, cooking and tasting again, what have we learned? There’s a lot more to the Lincoln food scene than any of us were aware of. We enjoyed new foods and visited some amazing businesses. We experienced aspects of ethnic cultures that have been right under our noses the whole time. Most importantly, we experienced the powerful effect that food has on us all. As we stood in the kitchen recreating the dishes, we slowly forgot about the project or grades. Eventually, we were talking about our lives and families and hobbies. We were making jokes and laughing together. This project showed us more than just ethnic food in Lincoln, it brought us together as people.
