10 most popular cuisines in the world III

4. Chinese Cuisine
Invented in different parts of China and now stretched right through the world, Chinese cuisine is now enjoyed by one third of the world’s population every day. The cuisine is simple to create, cost-effective and delicious. Most of the food is arranged in bite-sized portions because the Chinese traditions consider knives and forks as weapons. Typically, each diner at the table is provided a bowl of rice although the supplementary dishes are enjoyed by everyone at the table. Some dishes can however be cooked from endangered species, such as facai moss while others from meat you may want to avoid such as dog.
3. Indian Cuisine
One of the worlds’ most highly developed and varied cuisines, only a small part of the Indian cuisine is acknowledged by the world. The Indian food dished up in restaurants internationally is North Indian, also known as Mughlai or Punjabi. There are other three main categories of Indian cuisine: South, East and West. Although mostly vegetarian, but many delicacies include goat, chicken meat, lamb and fish. Indian cuisine is normally very spicy so in order to enjoy the food, start slowly and in a few weeks you’ll get familiarized to the flavors. Meals are usually eaten with hand, while seated on the floor, but these traditions have long been given up in deference to comfort and convenience.
2. Italian Cuisine
Possibly one of the oldest in the world, the Italian cuisine has its roots in the 4th century BC. It took its present form after the discovery of the New World that brought tomatoes, potatoes, pepper and maize on the list of components. Like any other evolved cuisine, an Italian meal is configured into quite a few sections: antipasto (the appetizer), primo (pasta or rice dish), secondo (meat course), dolce (dessert). Italy is also renowned for over 400 kinds of cheese, including the celebrated Parmigianino Reggiano, and 300 types of sausages.

1. French Cuisine
Beginning with the Middle Ages that brought rich feasts to the French Revolution, where improved techniques were used, French Cuisine is often called in the 21st century “haute cuisine”. It is as admired as the poetry or French arts, a meal at a restaurant being compared to “a sort of theatre you can eat”. Pastries are the best part of French cooking. Cheese and wine are also key ingredients of the cuisine.
