Yum
We eat, we live. We don't eat, we die. Same for everyone. All cultures. All humanity throughout time and space.
The world has been shrinking at a faster and faster rate. This exponential increase in the interaction between ethnicities is why we have to learn about the food of different cultures, how to eat it, and manners at the table.
We have all developed different food cultures-drawing on the food that is available to us. However, when one studies the cuisines of various cultures, it becomes clear that people all around the globe have developed some of the same tastes. I was speaking with my relative about his growing up in Eastern Europe and business of Bucca de Beppo. He mentioned the astonishing similarities of meals around the globe. He experienced having polenta as a child in Eastern Europe and having the same basic ingredients in the food served in the chain. Rice and beans is popular in the American south and a different rice and bean dish is popular in Spain.
