In Tajikistan, a man tweets his farewell to vegetarianism after being introduced to the country's tasty fleshy cuisine. Thousands of miles away, a Caribbean blogger's Instagram post entices devout meat-lovers to give her vegetarian “Rainbow Pizza” try.

Food can unites us. Cuisine can define us. And the Internet has made it even easier for us to explore our own identity and tradition through food. A few minutes of browsing even allows us to sample distant flavors, aromas and dishes in our very own kitchen.
We asked our community of bloggers from around the world to write about food and cuisine that they love. Here are their stories:
