Central/South American, and Japanese restaurants have contributed considerably
to familiarizing us with the foods of various parts of the world.
Most of us are by now familiar with sweet-and-sour pork, cous-cous, cevice

of them has become fused with other types of cuisine, including Italian.
Every other month, Eat Eat Hurrah will present a different national cuisine,
perhaps ferreting out those lesser known ones, in order to create over time
an exhaustive guide for those who walk around the kitchen with a map in hand,
convinced (and it is true) that unforgettable "trips" are also possible
through food.
