| abstract | - Burmese cuisine is actually the cuisine of Myanmar, as this is the name of the former Burma. It has gathered, in time, influences from India, China and Thailand. It must be noted that the Burmese only used concepts from these cuisines for inspiration. They have traditional cooking methods and dishes of their own. Hence, Burmese cuisine has its own identity. Burma was under British domination until 1948. Britons might be responsible for some elements of the Burmese cuisine, but the strongest influences come from the Asian countries. Soups and main courses are prepared in a Chinese way; the spices are Indian-like and in some dishes even American and European concepts can be seen. People have adapted these ideas to local environments and to local tastes. They have created variations of the Chinese and Indian dishes by adding or removing ingredients and by using certain techniques. Nearly 80 percent of the population is involved in agriculture. Of course, this fact determined the Burmese cuisine to have a certain orientation. Vegetables are rice are used in high quantities. In other countries, Burmese cuisine is considered to be attractive, because of its exotic look and taste.
