Traveling is a wonderful thing. In addition to taking in stunning views and taking a break from work, vacations give us a great opportunity to try other foods. Gastronomy is the door to the culture and history of a country. Spanish paella has ancient roots and shows us a part of the Arab history of that country. On the other hand, modern pizza was invented in Naples and reflects the rich culture of the Italian region.
European food has constantly changed since the fall of Rome and countries have influenced each other in many ways. For example croissants are not French, they come from Austria, according to historical reports. What’s more, the typical ‘fish and chips’ is not even a British dish. It is believed that it was the work of Jewish immigrants who came from Spain and Portugal.
Having said that, Europe is defined by its different dishes and food culture. Spain is heavily influenced by its prized seafood, while the UK might perhaps be represented as a savory pot mixing the best flavors from far-distant parts of the world. After all, it is said that the ‘chicken tikka masala’ was not born in India, but in Great Britain.
