Food is an important part of culture. The recipes of some meals have been passed down for generations, while others have been newly produced. By looking at a community's food, one can see how or where it has been influenced by other cultures. London is diverse, so it has been influenced by many other cultures. I mentioned briefly before that London was influenced by Asian culture, but it is also influenced by Middle Eastern culture. I recently had the opportunity to taste some of the foods that originate from Lebanon. There were a lot of foods on the menu I had never tried or heard of. As I read the menu I was speechless. Can you guess what there was to eat? There were yummy pomegranate seeds, yogurt, nuts and vegetables. But there were also lamb tongues and chicken livers! I couldn't believe it. That is so different than the foods that I am used to. You'll have to read more and see what I chose to eat, but first I want to talk about some other foods I eat here on a regular basis.
The food in London can be very different to what can be commonly found in the United States but it can also be very similar. Every day for breakfast, I always have a choice of croissants, cereal, eggs, ham, tomatoes, baked beans and black pudding. My favorite breakfast food to eat is a croissant with Nutella.
