The cuisine concept is problematic for numerous reasons as it is changeable depending on the passage of time, geography, and political and economic events. Through eating habits, people not only show who they are but judge the character and qualities of other people. For example in the 2000s, Starbucks became more than a cup of coffee but a symbol of creativity and good taste (Food & micro-identity, 2022). As for the question of food, these metamorphoses happen all the time. Moreover, cuisine can influence history, for example, in Belize it was a factor that united a nation composed of different ethnic and social groups (Food, cuisine, & macro-identities, 2022).
