/ Cooking Class Sri Lanka With Market Visit
Food is one of the single most significant trademarks of any culture, and often becomes the basis for cultural stereotypes. England, for example, is renowned for its Sunday roasts, whilst pasta and pizza are typically associated with Italy. Trying & cooking different cuisines can be a great way of exploring foreign culture in their local setting. Nearly every culture has its own food and its own customs associated with it. The customs and terminology that accompany eating in Sri Lanka are passed down through generations since Chena cultivation society. We take the main meal of the day at midday & for us dining is still a ritual. For Sri Lankans Food is meant to be offered & shared. Sri Lanka is a country where people think, first & best to the guest. Not only has each region had its own spin on local taste to the area but also different methods of cooking. We never used cookbooks, instead, culinary traditions passed through oral tradition. ( Cooking Class Sri Lanka With Market Visit )
Unlike in the west, dining in Sri Lanka is still a ritual. We are taught to serve others before ourself. We should be mindful that others have enough to eat and drink before serving ourselves. like Italians, for Sri Lankans walking whilst eating is considered being disrespectful. So, absorbing the local dining protocol is a crucial factor that helps you enjoy the meal to the maximum while letting you realize the culture associated with it. The cuisine, the way of eating and the rules that you must put up with while eating are so unique that you must sit down for a meal to experience it essentially.
