Fermentation

Fermentation is typically often perceived as something disgusting and we tend to only recognise fermented foods from other cultures/cuisines as such, while the fermented foods of our own culture are perceived as ordinary foods.
Fermented food is what really defines and distinguishes the cuisines.
