Food is deeply ingrained in cultural identity, and is one way to learn about a community’s heritage, familial customs and values. In the U.S., Mexican food is one of the most popular cuisines, with 1 in 10 restaurants serving Mexican, according to recent findings from the Pew Research Center. This trend reflects an expanding Mexican American population, with 37.2 million people or 11.2% of the U.S. population tracing their ancestry back to Mexico.
I’m afraid that the food in the UK is known to be horrid. Much of the food tradition surely came from places like England, Germany, Italy, parts of Africa, etc. In the end, though, these people had to use the ingredients they found here and that’s where food went its own way.
