17. Fusion Food
Once a foreign dish was introduced, it has changed in the borrower’s
taste and style.
Ex. Korean Chinese black bean noodle is very famous.
Sweet radish pickle (originally from Japan)
Japanese style of Indian Curry
Rice Burger, Coffee Mix (Korean invention)
Recently people in the world love a fusion style of food.

22. As food and food ways of each country are distinctive, each
culture has its own color and taste.
Yet, if we closely look into the history of food, adaption and
fusion were common phenomena. Food has developed into its
multicultural aspects.
Likewise, in other dimensions in a culture
multiculturalism should be pursued both in
domestic and international arenas.
