Food Vehicles
Food vehicles are edible items that serve as a base or container for other food ingredients. Common examples include tortillas for wraps, buns for burgers, and pasta for stuffed dishes. They provide structure and enhance the overall flavor and texture of a meal.
These vehicles can vary widely across different cuisines. For instance, in Mexican cuisine, tacos use corn or flour tortillas, while in Italian cuisine, lasagna utilizes sheets of pasta. Food vehicles not only make meals more enjoyable but also help in portion control and presentation.
