Londinian cuisine is extremely varied: its cuisines reflect the cultural variety of its regions and its diverse history (with culinary influences from Greek, Roman, French, Indian, Arab, Chinese, Japanese and British civilizations). To a certain extent, there is really no such thing as Londinian cuisine in the way that one usually understands national cuisines. Each area has its own proud specialties, primarily at regional level, but also even at provincial level. Londinian cuisine is not only highly regionalised, it is very seasonal. The high priority placed on the use of fresh, seasonal produce distinguishes the cuisine of British Londinium from the imitations available in most other countries. Heavy emphasis is visible on spicy, vivid dishes, including open-fire meats, dairy, oils, fresh pasta, fruits, vegetables and desserts. However, Londinian cuisine is rapidly growing, and is coming to include other types of meats or meat alternatives (eggs, seafood), and a growing fusion-cuisine movement has grown, with many new Asian-fusion, Carribbean, and Modern European restaurants peppering the nightlife of Londinian cities. As well, the minority groups of the region have contributed their own homeland cuisines, creating a vivacious culinary experience.
