Gastronomy like a Highest Expression of a People. According to Regina Schutler, "Tourism has its foundations in different manifestations: heritage, natural, cultural and historical sites are among the most popular for international tourism" (2003). Her view is certainly correct. Tourism would not exist if all people spoke the same language, wore the same clothes, had similar ideals and thoughts and especially if they had the same food and the same ways of preparing it. Food is much more than an act of survival. If so, people would not dine together, they would just eat not to starve. Food has a symbolic meaning in all societies. A social act that may go unnoticed, but is strongly rooted in our daily life.
