Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Favorite culture?

What is your favorite culture to study? Food, language architecture or history?

Asian, for the philosophy.

All of them for the art, language, architecture, and history.

Guess I'm pretty basic, I love the westerns for their early American history.

Texas Culture...
Been half way around the world,thirty something different countries,seen a bunch of stuff,ate lots of weird grub....
Texas is still "IT"...

I guess I am biased - I like the culture of the people of the "land of the southern slavs".

Like their humor, food and everything about them. I just spent some time watching videos on youtube about the wars there. Saddens me as I have some some simply OUTSTANDING people from that region.

American History from the early Colonial period thru WWI

Foreign Cultures:

The Early Roman Principate thru the Roman Republic


Russian History and Culture thru World War I

Foods:

Chinese, Mexican, Italian, German, Japanese, French ...I like to eat

Dunno about their architecture,... but ice age humans were some badazz little guys.

They'd take a rock,... flake on it until it was shaped into a point,... lash it to the end of a stick, then go hunting Wooley Mammoth with it.

For food, I'll eat almost anything, and the more exotic the more enticing.

I'm struggling with english, so not much interest in other languages.

Architecture, I'd say 18th-19th century Europe to me is the pinnacle, as well as music.

Not much of a history buff.

Military!

I'm with ya on that one. Saber tooths, and cave bear after their butts too.

I told a guy once who told me, "those Native Americans had it made before Columbus showed up". I said, "well here's a hunting knife, better than they had, and there's some cattle, easier to catch, How 'bout I just drop you off here and pick you up next month".

Gun culture is pretty interesting.

Just look at this forum..

Some great food ideas (hunting methods, jerky..)

The language is quite something... many posters have their own unique twists and tongues to it, making for entertaining reading. And I just learned a new word today: Shootee (thanks, VAnimrod!)

Architecture... Several members have posted pictures of their homes and other buildings, quite varied and interesting.

History.. Yes, I love reading old gun books and magazines.

1. U.S. History
2. World History, post 33 BC

Hated it in school but find it fascinating today.

History is my favorite: especially medieval England (700AD-1100's primarily), Native American, American up to 1800s, early Church (ie Papacy) history & it's involvement in politics (middle ages)

Food: Asian

Language: Latin (yeah, I know... Latin...)

Art & architecture are okay, but certainly not my favorite.

Then there's also literature, which is behind history for me, but ahead of the others, except food, of course: Shakespeare, Chaucer, Jane Austin etc

Have to agree with Bart on this one.

Bart, I like TX a lot.... except for that HOT part beautiful country and nice folks though.
Mrs. V, Chaucer... wow, you really aren't some redneck hunting chick are you! Middle English gives me a headache.... but I loved this movie....have you seen it?

Before I lived in Jeddah (1984�1985), I often remarked that I'd never been exposed to any culture that I hadn't found a lot in to like and to admire. I'd been closely familiar with people of many cultures from all over the world. All had shown me more to appreciate than to deplore. Lots of good memories!

Dr. Ken I used to be accross the country from you in Jubail. Left there in Mar. 1984. There was a lot I liked about the Saudi culture but a lot I didn't.

The Plains Indian.

Stool....



I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist..

penicillin ...
