Why should we choose regional food over international cuisines?
Have we ever wondered what the food we eat can tell us where we come from? Why people from different parts of our country eat different food?
We grow up eating the food of our culture. Traditional cuisines are an important part of our lives. They are passed down from one generation to the next.
Making food of our own culture is a symbol of pride. Many people open their own restaurants and serve authentic regional dishes.
Different country food or cuisine reflects its lifestyle, values, history, and beliefs. We can embrace our heritage through our culture’s food.
However, the world has become globalized it is easy to access different regional cuisines. We can access not only regional food but also international cuisines.
Hurry up and check out these places if you are a true foodie.
