Foods and Condiments
Foods are variously classified in different languages. For example, a number of languages make a basic distinction between solid foods and liquid foods; others distinguish between so-called ‘hot foods’ and ‘cold foods,’ though in these languages this distinction has nothing to do with the temperature of the food at the time it is eaten, but is dependent upon concepts relating to whether the food in question is propitious for being eaten when the body is ‘warm’ or when the body is ‘cool.’ In other languages distinctions are made between vegetable products and animal products, though items such as eggs, cheese, and milk may be classified variously, in some instances as animal products and in other instances as vegetable products.
