My first idea for my passion blog is an exotic foods blog. I could research, find, and maybe even eat different types of unique foods that I’ve never tried before. For each blog post, I could find a different food and explain where it came from, when it was first eaten, who first made it, where it is eaten today, what the ingredients are, how someone could cook this dish, and possibly even local places around State College where this food is served and could be tested by the people that read my blog. I would also include pictures of the food so people can see what they are reading about. If I have the opportunity to try the food I am writing about, I will also include my honest opinions about the food, both good and bad. I will also include if it is something I would like to try again, or if it is just a one time new experience.
My second idea for my passion blog would be a “game of the week” blog. I would discuss maybe the most exciting, interesting, bizarre, or just my favorite game from any sport that week. This may include NFL games, NBA games, MLB games, and obviously any exciting Penn State sports events that we all would recognize. I would discuss the outcomes, who I was rooting for, my opinions on any controversies, and basically any of my other opinions about either team or the event itself. I could also include highlights or summaries of what happened for anyone that may have missed the game and wanted to see what happened. Hopefully this blog would encourage people to find new interests in something they maybe hadn’t thought about or considered before. They might even be inspired to go see a Penn State event that they would not have gone to or maybe didn’t even know was happening before they read my blog. However, I am a Philly sports fan, so I might be a little biased in their favor.
I am huge fan of food so that first idea sounds great to me. There are some great places to eat around State College.
The first idea sounds great! it would be interesting to also get recommendations on where and what to eat around here.
As much as I think you could do a great job with a sports passion blog, other people already cover that topic to death. Maybe you could do a blog about sports most people haven’t heard of instead? (ex. ferrett legging) As for your exotic foods idea, I would be very interested in reading such a blog, especially if the foods were available in the local store to try. I bet you could even inspire a picky eater to pick up a strange food or two!
