Dont judge others people traditional food


Food place a big deal in someones tradition back ground. their are proud from were they are.
some people traditional can look way different than other my my type of traditional food. am Ecuadorian and what we mostly eat is guinea pigs. to some people it may sound disgusting  or grows but to me and my family its something that is in our tradition for generations. It taste really good actually you should never judge some else s food if you haven't even give it a try on tasting it. in my opening you should
always  try out different type of foods. That way you will be able to feel and see others tradition and history of there culture.

MY OPINION!!!!!!


Traditional foods are different type of foods that make each nation different from each other, it makes each nation to be unique and proud of there tradition. each nation has their own traditional food some may look better than other but to me what counts is how it taste, to taste someone else's traditional food is something that you cant describe in words, it makes you wander "What were they thinking when they prepare this food?" and "Why did they decided to makes this there traditional food, whats the story begin it"
