    News of a recent photo project by Peter Menzel has brought a lot of attention to the food different cultures prepare and consume. His project displays a week of groceries in countries around the globe in places usch as Mexico, Great Britain, China, Kuwait, the USA and more.

    While many people enjoy dining out at a Vietmanese restaurant, a cuban sandwich for lunch, or making a mean paella - enoying foreign cuisne from time to time is wildly different than living and eating abroad. Moving overseas can introduce you to a vast array of dishes you've never tried before, as well as isolate you from elements of your staple diet. Expat interviewees continually bemoan the lack of texmex/tim tams/vegemite/etc. in their current country (check out the varied and occasionally hilarious answers to "What do you miss most?") and expat blog posts galore cover the weird, the wonderful, and the truly bizarre eating habits and cuisine in their new country.

    We wanted to delve deeper and get into some expat kitchens. What are they cooking? What do they buy? What do they miss? What does their fridge look like?

    We highlighted several expats experience in our article "Expats - What's in your Fridge?".

    What is your experience with food abroad? Do you have a comment, story, or picture to share?
