Mediterranean

Essentially, Mediterranean cuisine is the food of the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. Buts its much more than geography that go into this food.  Although different countries have different delicacies, ingredients are basically the same. Their main objective is to keep their body cool, as it is a very hot region.  

One of their basic constituents is curd, as drinking milk is not possible as it curdles due to the warmth. Specialties like Tzatziki, which is Greek, is a cucumber yoghurt dip. Labaneh is strained yoghurt.

Another crucial ingredient is Chickpea, which is used in everything from hummus to chickpea soup.

It is a very healthy cuisine, as it low in alcohol content and meat content but very high high in vegetables, nuts and fruits.
