Food that filed the paperwork to be called culture.
means A distinctive style of cooking associated with a particular country, region, or tradition.
from From French cuisine, meaning 'kitchen' or 'cooking,' which traces back to Latin coquina (also 'kitchen'), rooted in the verb coquere, 'to cook.' English borrowed the word in the 18th century specifically to sound fancier than 'cooking' — using a French term to signal that the food in question had risen above mere sustenance into something worth admiring.
