Eating is a journey to a different time and place. Our food can be traced back to the migration of people and the intermingling of cultures and traditions. Noodles were brought from Asia to Italy which evolved into pasta. Olives and olive oil originally came from the Middle East. What is known in Mexico as al pastor originated from Lebanon’s version, the shawarma. Chicken tikka masala was a British adaptation of India’s butter chicken. These recipes and more exemplify how through adaptation and assimilation, we truly are a global community.
