TASTE THE WORLD.....

CUISINES OF THE WORLD
BY- SEHAJ GHUMAN

Food is the most significant symbol of a country. It is a notable fact that almost every country on Earth has its own extraordinary and exceptional cuisine. The tradition and rituals of a country have an effect on the genre of food. The cuisine reflects the lifestyle of the people.
One of the most prominent cuisines of the world, is the American cuisine. The food eaten by the Americans has always been the object of criticism, as it is unhealthy and calorie-laden. The deep fried burgers along with the ready-made drinks like beer make the American cuisine universal.
The aromatic Italian food with its distinctive herb fragrances is considered the ancestor of fine culinary art. Italian pizza, pasta and wine are always in limelight.
Indian cuisine is one of the oldest and most diverse cuisine in the world. Its rich and unique flavours are emerging in the world.
The location of Thailand has a great bearing on it's cuisine. Thai cuisine has many food products with fish and other marine animals. Seasonings of coconut milk, pineapples and citrus plants make it exclusive.
Ancient civilization of Aztecs and Mayas used to feed on Mexican cuisine. It is based on the assortment of products like maize, avocado and pumpkins. Mexican tequila, tacos, burritos, tortillas and fajitas are very sought after.
Food is God's gift to humanity and each cuisine in this world satisfies our taste buds.
