Khana Aur Ghumna

Food is and always has been an important part of culture. Through food we can learn about a countries history, traditions and societal norms.

For many people, food is important in preserving cultural identity. Recipies and cooking techniques are passed down from generation to generation. Some dishes tell a story of an entire nation, whilst others may be specific to a small group. Immigrants will even bring the food of their home countries with them when they move to other parts of the world.

Some countries specialise in a particular food type based on local availability or historical factors, whereas others avoid certain foods due to prominent religious beliefs. Some local dishes have stayed the same for hundreds of years, while others have changed as a result of outside influence.
