主题：Would you say that food defines a culture?

I don't know about defines, but food certainly reflects a culture. If a religion is prevalent in a culture, religious restrictions on food are reflected in their common recipes. If food is scarce, thrift is reflected. If it is a culture that places great emphasis on long work hours, speed and ease of preparation are reflected. There are too many ways to count.

Prevalent: 盛行的
Restrictions：限制
Recipe：食谱
Scarce：稀有的
Thrift：节俭
