PART 2
¿Cómo se relaciona la etiqueta con la comida? ¿Todos usan cubiertos? Da
ejemplos en tu respuesta.
¿Cómo se puede comparar la comida china con la comida estadounidense?
¿Cómo nuestra comida colombiana puede reflejar nuestra historia, estilo de vida
y valores?
La etiqueta es un tipo de protocolo específicamente para el uso adecuado de los
utensilios de cocina, esto para que la comida se vea mas llamativa al ojo de los
clientes. Además, no solo es tema de estética, si no que se debe tener en cuenta la
variedad de platos, cucharas, tenedores y cuchillos para probar los distintos tipos de
comida. Por ejemplo, se diferencia la cuchara que se usa para consumir una sopa,
con la de un postre.
Se puede evidenciar una gran similitud entre la comida estadounidense y la china,
ya que suele ser mayormente procesada, es decir, hay un consumo masivo de
comidas rápidas, enlatados o refrescos. Industrias como Mc Donald’s, KFC, Coca-
cola, etc. Se han apoderado de países como estos, al priorizar el trabajo y no contar
con tiempo para varios oficios, como es el de cocinar.
Los platos típicos colombianos que conocemos no siempre han sido los mismos,
han evolucionado al igual que nosotros. En la antigüedad cuando aun no llegaban
los españoles a colonizar América, la comida mas importante era el maíz, sin
embargo, la papa, la yuca y el plátano no se quedan atrás. Como bien se sabe la
agricultura era una de las principales actividades que realizaban las personas para su
supervivencia. Con la llegada de nuevas culturas, se fueron mezclando sabores hasta
conseguir platillos como lo es la bandeja paisa, el ajiaco y el cocido boyacense,
donde cada uno representa la cosecha de cada región.
Debe indicar su nombre, su nacionalidad, el nombre de la empresa para la que
trabaja, el cargo que ocupa y el departamento para el que trabaja.
Para describir la empresa incluya los siguientes aspectos: tipo de empresa o
industria, productos o servicios, ubicación de la casa matriz, subsidiarias, número de
empleados, nombre del director general, incluya otros 2 datos que considere
relevantes.

Good evening
My name is Yurith Dayana Tinjaca Ayala, I am from Colombia and I work in a stationery called
Valdan. In this place, I am in charge of customer service as a sales consultant, in addition to
offering the service of certificates, prints or photocopies.
This is a microenterprise specialized in the trade of school, artistic and office supplies merchandise,
among which are: cardboard, foami, glitter, erasers, scissors, glue, blocks, among other things.
This stationery is located at Carrer 5 #2a Sur-1 a 2a Sur-123, Cajicá, Cundinamarca. It has four

The label is a type of protocol specifically for the proper use of kitchen utensils, so that the food
looks more attractive to the eyes of customers. In addition, it is not only a matter of aesthetics, but
the variety of plates, spoons, forks and knives must be taken into account to try the different types
of food. For example, the spoon used to consume a soup is differentiated from that of a dessert.
A great similarity between American and Chinese food can be seen, since it is usually mostly
processed, that is, there is a massive consumption of fast food, canned food or soft drinks.
Industries like McDonald's, KFC, Coca-cola, etc. They have taken over countries like these, by
prioritizing work and not having time for various trades, such as cooking.
The typical Colombian dishes that we know have not always been the same, they have evolved just
like us. In ancient times when the Spanish had not yet arrived to colonize America, the most
important food was corn, however, potatoes, cassava and bananas are not far behind. As is well
known, agriculture was one of the main activities that people carried out for their survival. With
the arrival of new cultures, flavors were mixed until obtaining dishes such as the Bandeja Paisa, the
Ajiaco and the Cocido Boyacense, where each one represents the harvest of each region.
Manuel
Hello colleagues, my name is Manuel Tinjaca, I am Colombian. I was born and I live in Cajicá
Cundinamarca. I work at Brinsa S.A. Located at Kilometer 6 via Cajicá - Zipaquirá, this company
offers cleaning products such as Blancox, detergents, dishware soap; Refisal salt, flavored salts and
saltshakers are also manufactured; For industries, cautistic soda and hypochlorite are produced,
among others. I am a machine operator in the salt packaging area. Approximately 1,300 people
work directly for the company, and another 1,000 contractors. This company was part of the
patrimony of Colombia, known by the name of Planta Soda and later called Alcalis. In 1993 it was
sold to some businessmen and the name changed to Refisal, but because it is a company with
three different types of products, the name changed to Brinsa S.A.
1- The most relevant relationship between etiquette and food reflects the education and status of
a person.
2-Cutlery is not always used, there are foods that can be eaten with chopsticks, even without any
other tool.
3- The relationship that I see between these two cultures is that the food that is consumed causes
damage to human health, the USA consumes junk food, nothing nutritious, mostly many
chemicals. And on the Chinese side, they consume all kinds of animals, causing new possible
diseases due to this type of consumption.
4- Colombian food is represented by the different typical dishes in each region, according to its
geographical relief, it marks its lifestyle and customs inherited from our ancestors, who adapted
and taught what we are today
