Food, local or international …



Food, the meals we have every day, whether it was local or international …
Sounds obvious that I would talk and compare different cuisines of the world and probably express some views on it …
So I guess, different regions of the world have different tastes, special ingredients or the use of some “weird” or interesting objects let me call it …
With that, the food changed from the East to the oriental places, to the far west …


In the Eastern hemisphere, that would be Asia basically, people consume a lot of rice with a lot of proteins in different kinds, what I’ve seen “in the Middle East”, is that the consuming of protein is probably much more in there than it is in Europe as a whole, that would be because people in the middle east are used to that as traditions “if I may call it”.

But in Europe, they kind of try to have a mixture of cuisines I would say, so you’d find oriental food, and you’d find food from the far west.

Considering the far west, they have some interesting cuisines as well, and their protein consuming is definitely more than ordinary, but considering that Latin countries are part that, they some special ingredients that relate very much to the oriental spices or ways of cooking, or maybe that’s due to the fact that Latin Americans have a lot in common with the middle east because of some previous immigration to there.

Now, one of the things I would talk about here is how East Asians have their food, as it’s interesting, their way of cooking, and the spices they use … plus rice of course, they have a very good mix between proteins “all kinds of meat, eggs … etc.” and carbohydrates “Salad, Grain products … etc.” …

By comparing that to places like the Middle East who consume proteins more, as you’ll find other ways of proteins around here like side dishes which we called “salads, or appetizers”, so that’s not a lot of balance although it may taste different.


Europeans do try to have a good mix as the Asians do “or some of them”, but I’m not sure if they could, as most of the time their “food” is a variety of other regions food, because their food is full of proteins due to their extreme weather conditions.

The far East “North America I mean here”, which is in essence a mixture of cultures and people coming from everywhere and living there, so that’s probably like Europe, just a mixture or variety of food from everywhere, but not to forget their special ways of having proteins that includes special farms for cows “Kobe beef … etc.” which was originally from East Asia. "not to mention their high dependence on fast food" ...


No, I didn't actually feel hungry when I wrote this, I just thought about it as I was having dinner …
