Cuisines Of The World
Every nation living on Earth
has its own history, traditions and, of course, features of the national
cuisine. A cuisine is a certain set of cooking traditions passed on
from generation to generation. A cuisine is often named after the place
where it originated. The choice of ingredients depends on the region or
country. For example, the Greeks use lots of tomatoes, olives, lemons
and seafood in their dishes because these products are easily found in
their country. Today, if you want to taste the food of different
countries, it’s not necessary to fly there. The restaurants of various
cuisines can be found almost in every city. I live in Yekaterinburg and
there are lots of Chinese, Japanese, French, Greek, Italian, Spanish and
even Mexican restaurants here. Chinese dishes are mostly made of rice
and noodles. The thing that I like about this cuisine is the variety of
green and herbal teas. Japanese cuisine is based on fresh seafood,
soybeans and white rice. I have already tried several types of rolls and
sushi with soy sauce and it was rather delicious. French cuisine is
considered to be the most exquisite and refined of all. I have never
tried French dishes but I’d love to. They say French cheese, wine and
pastries are really good. Greek food is delicious. My favourite dish is
the Greek salad with fresh tomatoes, olives, bell peppers and tofu
cheese. I also like Italian food. It mainly offers different types of
pizzas and pasta. I think, that Italian cuisine somehow reminds the
Greek one because both these countries are situated in the
Mediterranean. Spanish cuisine offers lots of dishes from seafood and
fresh vegetables. A good example of this cuisine is paella. Mexican
cuisine uses lots of spices and chili pepper. Famous Mexican dishes are
tacos and quesadillas.
