Usually, a dish is made from different kinds of food.Ī ‘meal’ is food eaten at a specific time. The meaning is very close.Ī ‘dish’ means something which is cooked or prepared. So, you can say ‘Chinese cuisine’, ‘Chinese cooking’ or ‘Chinese food’. You can use the word ‘food’ or ‘cooking’ in the same way. ‘Cuisine’ means something like ‘cooking style’. For example, you have Chinese cuisine, French cuisine, local cuisine, and so on. ‘Cuisine’ means the kind of food you find in a specific country or culture. Here’s a question: do you know the difference between the words ‘cuisine’, ‘dish’ and ‘meal’? My personal favourite is a dish called albondigas, which is meatballs in a tomato sauce.

O: What are some typical Spanish dishes? I’d be interested to try some. Pasta isn’t so common in Spanish cooking, though. They both use a lot of fresh ingredients, and there’s a lot of seafood, salads, and so on. O: I’ve never really had much Spanish food. Now, I live in Berlin, and it’s a pretty cosmopolitan place, so you can get all kinds of food, like the UK, I suppose. M: I’m half Spanish, so when I was young we ate a lot of Mediterranean food at home. There are a few famous dishes like shepherd’s pie or Sunday roast, but most people eat a mix of things. M: What’s British cuisine like? I know about fish and chips, but there must be more… My mum’s cooking is a combination of different cuisines: a bit of French, a bit of Italian, a bit of Indian, and so on.


I grew up in the UK, and you can get food from all over the world there.
