Abstract

This paper reveals the impact of acculturation through education, social interaction and media on the nurturing of foodways among three Malaysian ethnic groups. It assists one to understand other ethnic food traditions, be accustomed to different ingredients and recipes, and get to know other's preferred eating and serving practices. Acculturation catalyzes the use of a wide variety of food in the community and introduces new eating and cooking practices. The practices of other ethnic food help create a strong confidence in the formation of a common acceptable food.
