Given the geography, these nation-states have influenced each other over
time and the cooking evolved into sharing common principles. Mediterranean
cuisine is characterized by its flexibility, its range of ingredients and
its many regional variations. The terrain has tended to favour the raising
of goats and sheep.
Fish dishes are also common, although today much of the fish is imported
since the fisheries of the Mediterranean Sea are weak. Seafood is still
prominent in many of the standard recipes.
Olive oil, produced from the olive trees prominent throughout Greece,
Turkey, Italy, Portugal, Spain and other Mediterranean nations, adds to
the distinctive taste of the food.
