History has proven that in cases of devastating, enforced migration overnight, \u00a0people manage to salvage more with their minds than with their hands. People who unwillingly leave their home, their household, their wealth or poverty, feel the need to continue a somewhat normal everyday life, enjoying at least some of their basic habits. Food is, obviously, one of the first things people carry with them away from home, a practical and comforting reminder of their lives. And this is the reason that so many cuisines from around the world have spread the way they have, giving us the chance to enjoy them. The various mixtures have created unbelievable dishes and wonderful tastes, as well as some meaningless disputes over their origin.<\/p>\n
