Each cuisine has its own specialty. Being a foodie, I love trying out different cuisines and seeing what excites my tastes buds. Well, a part of this also means gaining weight. Hmm, this sounds true but it isn't really true. Like I said, all cuisines have healthy and unhealthy points. And if a cuisine was altogether bad, well that country's people won't be alive today.
