Potatoes are frequently grown as a result of this, and also plants such as quinoa. On the Southern tip of South America lies the Pacific Ocean, which provides a large array of seafood.

Find restaurants in Europe

European cuisine is sometimes referred to as Western cuisine. The cuisines of European countries are diverse by themselves, although there are common characteristics that distinguish Western cooking from cuisines of Asian countries. Compared with traditional cooking of Asian countries, meat is more prominent and substantial in servings and carbohydrate staples play a more minor role than Asian cuisines. Steak in particular is a common dish across the West. Western cuisines also put in substantial emphasis on sauce (or called gravy in meat dishes) as condiments, seasonings, or accompaniments due to the difficulty of seasonings penetrating larger pieces of meat used in cooking. Plenty of dairy products are utilized in the cooking process, except for the nouvelle cuisine. Spices are more prominent than many Asian cuisines due to the heavy use of meat.

Restaurants advertised to be specializing in generic Western cuisine tend to have menus containing a mixture of dishes mainly from France, United Kingdom, and Germany. Since the early 1990s dishes from Italy and Spain have become more prominent on these restaurants' menus.

Asian cuisine is a term sometimes used in the West as an umbrella term for the various cuisines of East Asia and Southeast Asia and for fusion dishes based on combining them. Asian cuisine, in reality, should also include Polynesian, Central Asia and Middle Eastern cuisine.

Find restaurants in Oceania

Oceanic cuisine in not a term commonly used. It consists mainly of the cuisines of Australia and New Zealand.

Historically, Australian cuisine was based on traditional British cooking brought to the country by the first settlers. These origins have been mostly overtaken by the growing multicultural emphasis of Australian culture over the last forty to fifty years, with Australian cuisine now influenced by a variety of Mediterranean and Asian foods originally introduced by immigrants. Indeed, restaurants whose cuisine tends to demonstrate contemporary adaptations, interpretations or fusions of these multicultural culinary influences are frequently labeled with the umbrella term "Modern Australian". British traditions still persist to varying degrees including in the takeaway food sector, with pies and fish and chips remaining popular.

New Zealand cuisine derives from various sources, most especially British and Māori. At its best it emphasises the quality and freshness of New Zealand produce from land and sea, which is readily available in an island nation which bases its economy on agriculture. Owing to its colonial origin (shared with Australia), New Zealand cuisine is traditionally simple fare such as "meat and three veg".

Find restaurants in Africa

The continent of Africa is the second largest landmass on the earth and is home to hundreds of tribes, ethnic and social groups. This diversity is also reflected in African cuisine, in the use of basic ingredients as well as in the style of preparation and cooking techniques. The cuisine of Africa reflects indigenous traditions, as well as influences from Arabs, Europeans, and Asians.

Traditionally, as in almost all cultures, the food of Africa uses a combination of locally available fruits, grains, and vegetables, milk and meat products. In some parts of Africa, the traditional African diet has a predominance of milk, curd, and whey. In much of tropical Africa however, cow's milk is rare and cannot be produced locally (owing to various diseases that affect livestock). Yet, differences, sometimes significant, are noticeable in the eating and drinking habits across the continent of Africa - African food differs in different parts of Africa, and East Africa, North Africa, West Africa, Southern Africa and Central Africa each have their own distinctive foods. They are very well known for their distinctive cooking styles.
