The top ten cuisines in the world are: French cuisine, Italian cuisine, Indian cuisine, China cuisine, Lebanese cuisine, Thai cuisine, Mexican cuisine, Japanese cuisine, Greek cuisine and Spanish cuisine.
French cuisine: The history of French cuisine can be traced back to the Middle Ages, and it is a kind of cuisine with very fine cooking skills. French cuisine, like its poetry and art, flows all over the world. Dim sum is a very important part of French cuisine, and cheese and wine are often collocations in this country's food. French restaurant culture has been deeply rooted in its traditional culture, so the number of restaurants here is very large, and there are 5,000 large and small restaurants in Paris, the capital. Visitors can find almost any restaurant with reasonable price and delicious dishes.
Italian cuisine: Italian cuisine is one of the oldest cuisines in the world, and its history can even be traced back to the 4th century BC. Italian food gradually evolved into what we know today with the discovery of the new continent. Italian food often has ingredients such as potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and corn. An Italian meal is usually divided into four parts: appetizer, rice, paella and dessert. It is worth mentioning that Italy is also famous for more than 400 kinds of cheeses (such as the famous Parmesan cheese) and 300 kinds of sausages.
China cuisine: Today, one third of the world's population is eating China food every day. China cuisine is easy to make, economical and delicious. Most Chinese dishes will be made into small pieces or thin slices and picked up with chopsticks. Usually, when eating, everyone will have a bowl of rice in front of them, while other dishes are public dishes that everyone can pick up. Some Chinese dishes even add some dangerous species that foreigners think, for example, dog meat, which is rarely eaten in other countries.
Indian food: Indian food is one of the most complicated and varied food types in the world, and only a few Indian foods are well known to foreign diners. Indian food can be divided into three categories, namely southern food, eastern food and western food. Most Indian cuisines are vegetarian, but many dishes also include lamb, goat meat, chicken and fish. Indian food is generally spicy, and it seems that only in this way can people fully enjoy the delicious food. Foreigners can try it slowly first, and after a few weeks, they will generally get used to this spicy taste. Generally speaking, you don't need tableware to eat Indian food, just sit on the floor and eat it. Of course, in Indian restaurants in Europe and America, this food custom has begun to change.
Thai food: Many people think that Thai food with balanced ups and downs is enough for people to visit Thailand specially. Fresh herbs or seasonings like lime juice, lemon grass and fresh coriander are often found in Thai food. Like many Asian foods, rice is a very important element in Thai food, and fish sauce (a very rich fish sauce), shrimp sauce and noodles often appear.
Mexican cuisine: Mexican cuisine is famous for its rich flavors and spices. The emergence of Mexican cuisine is also the result of the blending of the food culture of Spanish conquerors and the local Aztec food culture. Nowadays, most Mexican food we see combines the essence of traditional food such as Aztec, Maya and Spain. In fact, French culture has also had a certain influence on Mexican cuisine. Baked foods such as sweet bread and Mexican rolls all have French style. It is worth mentioning that Mexican restaurants sometimes have very strange dishes on their menus, such as insects, rattlesnakes, deer and spider apes.
Japanese cuisine: Japanese cuisine is famous for its seasonal emphasis, exquisite appearance and taste, and then set off a wave of Japanese cuisine around the world. White rice and soybeans are common ingredients in any Japanese dish. In the ranking of food in the world given by Michelin Red Guide, Tokyo ranks first with 150 top restaurants. In addition to the capital Tokyo, you can find different but delicious local cuisines all over Japan.
Spanish food: If you want a relatively light food, diners can look for it in Spanish food. Meat, fish and vegetables often appear in Spanish cuisine, which may also be influenced by seafood in nearby waters. Spanish cuisine is one of the dishes that use more oil in western and central European countries. The most popular drink in Spain, which goes well with the country's food, is Sangria sparkling wine, which is usually made of wine and fruit.
Greek food: Greek food is different from Turkish food and Italian food. This style of food pays great attention to ingredients with unique Mediterranean style such as olive oil, vegetables and herbs. Eating Greek food in Greece will have some different feelings from eating Greek food outside Greece. For example, Greeks will think Greek barbecue is junk food, while diners in other countries will not think so. Most Greek restaurants will also provide a realistic experience, not only combining the latest cooking techniques, but also storing local specialty foods at any time. It is worth mentioning that Greek restaurants are widely distributed all over the world, and people can generally find authentic food at reasonable prices in these restaurants.
Lebanese cuisine: People can taste all the delicious elements in the Middle East from Lebanese cuisine. Generally speaking, these foods belong to the Mediterranean style-more vegetables, less meat and rich flavor. Perhaps the most famous dish in Lebanon is the appetizer platter. This platter contains elements such as pickles, salads and Arabic bread. There are many fruits, fresh fish, seafood and small animal fat in some dishes. In fact, Lebanese cuisine has long been famous for its Arabic-style sweets, and Tripoli even has the reputation of "the capital of sweets" in Lebanon.
