Culture

I read an article today about India.
The article talked about the food of the Indian culture. It talked about how professors in the United States are studying the restaurants of Indian and other backgrounds. Foods like Tandoori chicken and makhani were mentioned in the article. I think it would be very interesting o try these foods. A person can learn a lot about a culture from their food. You can learn what type of animals and plants they have to how they farm. Food is a big part of culture that many people use as a form of communication. It can be used to tell someone thank you or just to celebrate something. Culture is made up of many things, but food is a universal thing. All cultures are going to have different foods, but the food serves the same purpose in all cultures. It brings people together. Food is a way of communication for many cultures, but it is also a way to express the beliefs and views of that culture or religion. I feel that food is one part of every culture that people should experience. It is easy to experience and is quite enjoyable. You can learn so much from the food and then you are able to share your food with other cultures.
