The rest of the food are are derived food cultures like thai and vietnamese are the derivation from indochinese, Italian is also mix of chinese and western....most of the italian food goes back to chinese history when marco polo visitied china...like pasta, spaghetti and pizza stuff like that are inspired by chinese food. I will give u detail in next posting.
