Delicious countries on the edible world map

You can explore the world for an infinitely long time, traveling to different countries, admiring nature and sights, learning foreign languages, getting acquainted with the customs of other peoples and, of course, trying dishes of national cuisine. From now on, we have the opportunity to taste the world without leaving our apartment: the famous New Zealand artist Henry Hargreaves recently presented a charming project. He created an "edible" map of the world, choosing for each country the product with which it is associated.

1. Banana Africa

Henry Hargreaves worked on the project together with New York stylist Caitlin Levin. Together they have created a map on which avid travelers will immediately recognize India, collected from spices, "tomato" Italy, "banana" Africa, Australia from shrimp and other countries. Of course, such an atlas pleases not only the eye, but also the stomach.

4. China noodles

5. Australia shrimp

Henry Hargreaves says that in his project he tried to demonstrate how food "migrated" across the planet, gradually becoming part of the culture and national identity of a particular country. Today we start our day with a cup of coffee and an appetizing French bun with a slice of cheese, we prepare a Brazilian cocktail "Caipirinha", adding lime to it, and, boiling noodles, we remember that this is the national dish of the Chinese.

8. India from spices

The authors of the wonderful project expressed the hope that, just as food unites people all over the world, their maps will be able to bring people from different parts of our planet closer together, to show what completely different peoples have in common

10. Japan from algae

If you carefully study the "edible" maps, you will notice that each country is laid out from one food product. South America is made from citrus fruits, New Zealand from kiwi, Japan from nori, and 50 states of America are made from different varieties of corn. In short, study, consider, enjoy!
