Food plays a big role in Sri Lanka. It’s one of the few things that bring families together, celebrate various religious and cultural events and a sure way to convey part of what Sri Lanka is, to the world. There have been many unique food items, cooking methods and conservation techniques from the olden days. Even the ancient chronicles discuss food in terms of what was offered to the clergy and what the kings had. The Indian invasions brought not only their power but also the culture along with their cuisine. Later on with colonization, the authentic Sri Lankan cuisine was added to by the European palette. Today, in any household or event you can see a mix of eastern and western, Indian and local, vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. There are sweetmeats, curries, rice varieties and so much more to the food in this exceptional island. If you are a foodie, talk to us about arranging an authentic culinary tour!
