Some
people eat to live and some people live to eat but if you visit the
places mentioned below , most definitely you'll belong to the second
category. When people say that the way to a man's heart is though his
stomach, they undoubtedly say a truth which can lead to your culinary nirvana. Read on to start your spiritual journey of finding yourself
through FOOD...!
5) Japan:
It is
impossible to eat badly in Japan. This is the place that spawned
tyrannical Sushi masters and Ramen bullies who make their staff and
customers tremble with a glare. Here you can get a lavish multi-course
kaiseki meal that presents the seasons in a spread of visual and
culinary poetry. Or grab a seat at a revolving sushi conveyor for a solo
feast. Even a ZEN master won't be able to resist the temptation...!
4) Spain:
Surely
the Matadors eat as passionately as they figh with a bull. Viva Espana,
that country whose hedonistic food culture we all secretly wish to
become our own. From the fruits of the Mediterranean Sea to the spoils
of the Pyrenees, from the saffron and cumin notes of the Moors to the
insane molecular experiments of Ferran Adria, Spanish food is timeless
yet truly avant garde.
3) France:
Voltaire
forgot to mention this aspect of France way of living during the
revolution. Truth-equality-brotherhood these mottos are all fine but
what about food that stands apart from
the rest? Yes good food is every Frenchman's birthright. A word of
caution though if you believe in the theory that suggests "there's more
to life than food" , you better not visit France...
2) China:
in
Taoism( China's oldest religion) a man with plain rice and smoked pork
is much more content than another man eating a royal dinner. And why is
it so? Because no matter what communism
did to them psychologically, still good food is the priority no 1 for
the Chinese. A little bizarre truth is you get excellent Chinese in U.S
too...!
1) Italy:
If you
want to know about the secret of Sicilian / Italian mafia's toughness ,
just eat some Italian food. Their culinary art has enslaved taste buds
of millions around the globe for centuries, with its zesty tomato sauces, wheat flour and desserts they make other cultures go green with envy.
It's all
so simple.Get some noodles, get some olive oil, get some garlic, maybe a
tomato or a slice of bacon. Bam, you have a party on a plate. But the
cause of a little worry according
to street information is that the foundation of Italian neo-colonialsm
is built upon the plates of yummy pastas and forever tempting cheesy
risottos …! Not a bad way to surrender after all...
