You may think what is the difference of this category and Indigenous people/Ethnic group. The answer is simple: Food is the show case of cross over culture. Food is essential for human livings, but what you eat reflects your society (of course you have your taste. but still…). We want to keep traditional food as our mother taste. On the other hand in Japan we have a variety of 洋食Yo shoku. That is the cuisine Japanese develop when they first met western food and cuisine. These dishes are became on of Japanese food. To focus on traditional food, we will find many cross over culture too. Here we also pick up medical herbs. In Asia we have a common feeling or thinking that food makes health. We use a lot of medical herbs as an ingredient of our dishes.
