Bring a business card back to class.

Before taking photos, ask for permission.

What are their uses?

Read the labels?

What do their names tell you?

What are some of the common foods?  spices or herbs?

What are the five most interesting objects/foods or the most diverse objects/foods?

What do these objects/foods tell you about the country?

If you'd like, bring a sample of food for students to taste.
