Americans’ attitude toward food is changing, too. The traditional big breakfast is no longer popular. However, coming to rediscover the social importance of food, Americans find that dinner with family and friends is a very special of enjoying time together.

2. The world’s best ethnic food
How can you travel the world without leaving your own country? Visit an ethnic restaurant! Trying foods from other countries is a great way to experience different cultures. People around the world have unique and creative ways of preparing food. The ingredients they use may surprise you.
So what are the world’s best ethnic foods? Everyone has his or her own personal favourites,
and so do we. The following are the world’s three best ethnic foods---other than Chinese food, of course!

INDIAN India is the land of curries and strong flavours. You can smell a good Indian restaurant even before you walk through the door!

While Chinese food is great, try something new and expand your horizons. After all, variety is the spice of life!
