As you take off to visit different national and international places this holiday, explore the LOCAL food / dish of the place/community and the meal cultures associated with them.

In case you are not travelling, you can upload the local food of Maharashtra or a city in Maharashtra or the place your family hails from.

Your Padlet post should include :

The name of the local food as the subject.

Add a catchy tagline. For example: ‘Pasta La Vista’ from Italy.

A picture/ collage / sketch/ drawing / video of the local food
The meal culture associated with it
An interesting fact, if you find any.
Your name at the end

We look forward to reading and learning about the different and unique food cultures.

Safe Travels!

Mrs Rashi Jain

Humus,Falafel,Tabuleh,Fatoush

Many Middle Eastern dishes rely on chickpeas and other legumes, because “they are very inexpensive, an easily grown agricultural product, and very versatile,”

Instead of cooking with butter, cream or other dairy products, Lebanese food relies heavily on olive oil, which can do wonders to lower cholesterol, control blood sugar levels and boost overall heart health. While olive oil is still relatively high in fat content, its mono-unsaturated fatty acids make it extremely good for you.

Low in starch

Unlike most western cultural diets, Lebanese food uses very few starchy ingredients. You are far more likely to find a small serving of rice or lentils as opposed to huge helpings of potatoes, noodles or highly processed white flour .
