Food Cuisines

Food gives the body, energy and nutritional support to sustain life. As per some people, an ideal food has three aspects: – it should look appeasing, smell delicious, and taste like heaven. In fact, Chinese people believe “the first bite is with the eyes”. Every dish has its own distinctive style, culture, and regional traits and this takes the form of different food cuisines because of the great efforts, exploration, and years of dedication of the people, today we have the access to more than a hundred cuisines global level. Usually, at the global level, the cuisines are recognized from a country influenced by locally available ingredients and preparation methods but sometimes due to high diversity, some countries offer sub-cuisines that are highly distinctive from each other.

Each food type has a special essence and perhaps that leads most of the cuisines to rank among the top at the world level together. By looking at the different criteria to like the food –

  • French cuisine offers locally sourced natural ingredients, and fresh and simple flavors with pride in presentation, and rules the world by laying the foundations for many different styles and specialties.
  • Being the healthiest, completely dairy free, and served whole, Chinese cuisine is mostly liked by people who believe in eating traditional meal communally.
  • The gravy-like sauce or curry lovers, blended flavors of spices and flavorings, and creating every single variety of food items in numerous ways is something which Indian cuisine includes, making it one of the most diversified countries in the world.

We have now come to an era where dining etiquettes and table manners are more paid attention to what you are eating. Especially in terms of having a specific cuisine, it is regarded as a mark of respect towards the custom. Usually, eating habits are often associated with the cutlery used.

Some other factors mainly comprise regional, political, and socio-economic factors creating differences among the sections and classes of people at all levels.
