Now that you see how Thukpa came into existence, you can see how culture can influence the way we eat and our traditions!
What is the difference between these two pictures?
Culture is the word we use to describe all the ways of life that describes a particular group of people. Cultures can be seen in the way we dress, the way we eat and how we even live!
Why are there so many different cultures on Earth? If you think about it for a while, you'll realize that there are so many ways that people can be different. Language, religion, cuisine, technology, art, music, dress, education, economy, government, and geography can be different!
So how does geography (location) affect the cultures that develop around it?.
Think of people living on mountains and near the oceans. If you live in the mountains, you're likely to develop a particular culture that adapts to life at a high altitude. For example, you might wear heavier clothing and tend to be physically stronger as a result of climbing often. On the other hand, living near an ocean might mean you wear lighter clothing and incorporate swimming and fishing into your culture to a great extent.
Climate can greatly affect culture, too!
This is how Thukpa is famous in a cold place- it lends warmth!
