It’s surprising how much local dishes can tell you about a place, such as what a culture values most. Take Costa Rica and France as an example. Where Costa Rica boasts fresh and simple dishes such as fish and rice, France relishes in the grander things in life such as fine cuts of meat, expensive cheese and quality wine.
