Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Kimchi and Arabic coffee in latest UNESCO cultural list
There are unique practices in all over the world. UNESCO recognizes not
only valuable sites but also such practices or food that are valuable to the
culture.
Some of the new additions to the Intangible Cultural Heritage list
include serving Arabian coffee, Vienna’s horse training, sculpting marble in a Greek
island and Argentina’s paining ornaments.
Food is part of tradition, and some are essential to the local culture.
One of the widely popular local food is Kimuchi in Korea. It is also added to
the heritage list.
Kimuchi is inseparable to Korean people and is eaten in almost any meal
in the peninsula, both north and south. When it comes to local traditions,
there seems to be no political border.
Enjoy reading and thinking what practice or food in your culture could
be the next on the list.
