This week we learn about the Maltese orange and the country of Tunisia. The Maltese orange, also known as the "Queen of Oranges", has a unique story highlighted in the article linked below. We invite you to read the linked story and utilize the discussion points below to guide conversations with others around the globe.
Discussion Points
- What makes the Maltese orange's story unique and why?
- As Tunisia is known for the Maltese orange, is your home region known for certain famous foods or agricultural products? To what extent are the products identified exclusive to your home region?
- The Maltese orange has great cultural impacts on Tunisia. How does food impact our cultures or how do our cultures impact our food?
- Certain foods (or names of food) are grown/raised/produced in specific parts of the world, such as Prosciutto di Parma (ham) from Parma Italy. There have been discussions, and arguments, if specific naming rights of food products belong to certain regions of the world. Do you believe naming rights of food belong to specific regions or are they free to be grown anywhere in the world with the same label/name? Could the "Queen of Oranges" be reserved for Maltese oranges from Tunisia?
