There are differences and similarities between many countries like, for example, New Zealand and America. America and New Zealand have a few differences and similarities when it comes to their cooking and preparation techniques. First, New Zealanders traditional cook by using under ground ovens or geothermal areas, like hot springs, while Americans use grilles or fires to cook their food. Another different, New Zealanders cooked some foods on special occasions, like the hangi, Americans cook anything at any time, like hamburgers, hotdogs, and turkey. Even though the two countries do have some different cooking techniques they also have similarities like both countries have restaurants that cook and prepare the food. Many countries have differences and similarities that are effect by their culture and culture diffusion that created the many types of cooking techniques.

While traveling to a new country I am excited about trying new foods and seeing what make our food and their so different.
