In Food Ethnic Studies

Definition: Ethnic food

The Random House Dictionary definition of ethnic is:



Pertaining to or characteristic of a people, especially a group (ethnic group) sharing a common

and distinctive culture, religion, language, or the like.



If we apply this definition to the term ethnic food, we lump every single style of cooking from every single region of the world. Whether it is popularized cuisine from countries like France, Italy, Spain, or China, or lesser-known cuisine from countries like Ethiopia, Columbia, or Vietnam, they are forced together under "ethnic food".
