In this first section, I will begin by discussing the cuisine of my own country- the United States. In order to get an understanding of what the cuisine of the USA consists of, I went to a diner.

I believe that this is due to European influence mostly. In regard to spices of American food, it is not as glamorous as some food as other cultures- it uses one or two spices in food. These spice are commonly known as garlic, pepper, oregano, and salt. This is what I discovered about the food of my own culture.

The major difference I saw was the use of spices that they used in their cooking. This is probably due to the fact that India has the availability to use these since that they grow in the subtropical climate. Another difference I saw between Indian and American food is that they do not eat beef. This is due to Hindu tradition. These are the main similarities and differences I saw between
