Food travel from one country to …

?️Food offers many examples of long distance cultural exchanges. ?️Traders and travellers introduce new crops to the lands they travelled. ?️'Ready' foodstuff in distant parts of the world might share common origin. ?️EXAMPLE 1:- It is believed that Noodles travelled west from China to become spaghetti and pasta in Italy. Perhaps Arab traders took pasta to 5th century Sicily, an island now in Italy. This suggests the possibility of long distance cultural contact even in the pre modern world. ?️EXAMPLE 2:- Many of our common foods such as potatoes, soya, groundnut, chillies, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and so on were not known to our ancestors until about 5 centuries ago. They were only introduced in Europe & Asia after Christopher Columbus accidentally discovered America which was a vast continent. ?️EXAMPLE 3:- Sometimes new crop can make up the difference between life and death. Europe 's poor began to eat better and live better with introduction of the humble potatoes.
