Introduction

Introduction to my New Blog:

In different countries, different cities, different continents, and specially different cultures, food has become a speciality that differentiates the nation from other nations. It makes the place unique, or it makes the place what it is. Food is not just something that you eat, it's more than that. Food represents or can show you what an specific culture is like or you can start making a picture in you mind of what can be the characteristics of the unique culture. If you are interested in food or how does the food reflect and makes you know better a culture, then this is the right place were information of this subject are inserted in your mind and help you learn about a culture without not exactly giving you information about that culture in which you are interested in.

In this blog you will find information on many of the most popular typical foods in the world. For example, when you think in the food paella you might immediately think in Spain, when you this in sancocho, you might think in Colombia.
