12 questions · Food & Drink
Few things say as much about a country as its food: every dish holds the climate, history and habits of whole peoples. Some foods have long travelled the world and now taste almost the same in Berlin, Buenos Aires and Bangkok: yet the first bite often reveals where they originally came from. In this pack you match famous dishes to their home countries: pizza and its home Italy, sushi from Japan and paella from Spain, the croissant from France and currywurst from Germany, tacos from Mexico and moussaka from Greece, dim sum from China and curry from India, kimchi from Korea, goulash from Hungary and falafel from the Middle East: recognise which country lies behind each classic and take a trip right across the globe with every single question. For food is always a piece of home: it speaks of fields and seas, of festivals and families, and a single recipe often holds half the story of a country and its people: no other subject connects the whole planet quite so deliciously, or starts as many friendly arguments about who does it best.
