Post-reading: Critical thinking
Do you agree that “culture and cuisine go hand in hand” Give your reasons and have a discussion.
Yes, because so much of a culture is based upon food and how it is eaten and served.
No, with the impact of globalization, all kinds of food are available everywhere, so food no longer reflects cultures.
