Culture

Around the world there are many different kinds of cuisines, for people from different cultures or regions around the world. The reason different parts of the world have different foods or ways of life is because they have to use the resources around them to survive. Different parts of the world have different resources. People of different cultures also have different ways of preparing food. I find it interesting how there are so many ways to prepare food, and how delicious they all taste. Different cultures use different seasonings and different utensils.

I was also interested in when foods were discovered or invented. I found this really neat food time line that list most foods and when they were invented. It goes back to before 100,00 BC from the time of only ice and water. When people slowly discovered new foods, and started experimenting with different foods, new foods were created. This list even goes up to modern day, like today when deep fried lattes and deep fried Coco Cola were invented.
