It is Food.

Irrespective of the Country of Origin, the languages spoken, Caste or Creed, or the Religions believed by us, Food in general take care of our requirement of energy and several nutrients required for a healthy living. Whether the Food is Vegetarian or Non-Vegetarian, or the whether the cuisine is Continental, French, Italian, Mexican, Chinese or Indian, they all fulfill the basic requirements of Human Existence.
