Globalisation of cuisines

As the world becomes more globalised, so do the cuisines traditionally associated with different cultures. People now come into contact with different cuisines and are increasingly combining foreign flavours with recipes traditionally related to their own culture. The result is fusion food – dishes resulting from the combination of two or more cultural cuisines. Indo-Chinese food, such as some types of sweet and sour and chop suey dishes, was originated by Chinese migrants living in Kolkata, India.
