Sri Lankan cuisine

Sri Lankan cuisine is very similar to Indian cuisine. This is due to both the proximity of these countries and the similar range of products used for cooking (seafood, fruits, greens, various spices). The Sri Lankan diet is predominantly vegetarian, and Sri Lankans practically do not eat meat. The absence of meat in the Sri Lankan diet is explained by the fact that cows are considered sacred animals here. Fish products, tropical fruits, and all kinds of spices are widely used in cooking.
