The usefulness of food

All countries always have their own culture that those culture can be shown by the activities and living style such as in education system, religious, language, food etc. Therefore, we can understand one country through food.
Food is really important to identify the country. For example, when I was in Thailand in the dinner time with buffet in one hotel restaurant with many different kind of foods, I and other foreigners were able to identify which food was Thai food, China food, India food...................... Looking through Thai food such as soup which was contained with chilly testing and sweet-steam-rice, we could know that Thai still keeps their own culture - Eating by using their hands. In addition, that food could show that Thailand have not accepted Euro Style. Adding on this, I could Identify Chinese culture by seeing their food like noodle. Noodle is the most popular of Chinese food. Their people in all regime eat noodle for their breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For instance, in modern and transitional movie, they always have their food with noodle at least one time. So this can show us about the Chinese culture with noodle to be their food. Furthermore,
In conclusion, food can help us to understand the culture of each country by looking to what I have mentioned in the body of this essay about the Thai food, Chinese food, and USA food with eating style. Anyways, do we have other ways to understand the culture from understanding a culture through food?
