A spokesperson for Bidfood said: “In today’s culinary landscape, the world is your oyster, quite literally. With globalisation and cultural exchange at an all-time high, there’s never been a better time to celebrate the rich tapestry of global cuisines.

“Whether you’re creating dishes for breakfast, lunch or dinner, incorporating flavours from around the world into your menu can elevate your culinary experience to new heights. World cuisines are the marker of future menus as diners look to expand their palettes and explore cuisines from around the world. Let’s embark on a flavourful journey and discover how to celebrate world cuisines in your menu.”
