Greece's anise spirit. Adding water turns it cloudy white (the 'louche effect').
Greek pomace spirit, with or without anise.
White wine flavoured with Aleppo pine resin, a tradition from ancient Greek amphora sealing.
Baked layers of aubergine and spiced meat.
Greek street food.
Village salad, never with lettuce.
Not one cuisine but dozens: wheat and dairy in the north, rice, coconut and curry leaves in the south, mustard oil and fish in the east, and sweet-sour vegetarian food in the west. Ayurveda's six tastes and religious traditions (Jain, vegetarian) shape it.
China's eight regional cuisines range from fiery numbing Sichuan to delicate, fresh Cantonese. Rice dominates the south, wheat noodles and dumplings the north.
Washoku is UNESCO heritage: seasonality, umami from dashi, and the 'one soup, three sides' meal structure. Presentation matters as much as taste.
Rice, soup and many small side dishes (banchan) with fermentation at the core: kimchi, soy and chilli pastes.
Every dish balances sweet, sour, salty and spicy. Isan in the northeast loves sticky rice and grilled meats; the south uses turmeric and coconut.
Fresh, herb-heavy and light, with French colonial touches like baguettes and coffee.
