As someone who goes to a lot of dinner parties and events, I love trying new foods and hate the same old every single time. If you're the way, you're in the right place. Enjoy this list of plenty of different cuisines for your next dinner party, picnic, etc.

1. South Indian

Foodofy

Why didn't I just say Indian? Well, North and South Indian food is vastly different. South Indian curry is completely different than North Indian curry. Along with that, the basic meals that are typically consumed in households are different in North India and South India. Click here out this website about the 20 basic South Indian foods you need to have for a South Indian cuisine dinner.

2. North Indian

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
