From the heart of Africa to the bustling streets of Istanbul, roasting traditions span continents and cultures. In Ethiopia, the captivating Ethiopian coffee ceremony takes center stage, with its rich aroma filling the air as beans are meticulously roasted over an open flame. Lalibela in Wollo region stands witness to this ancient ritual that brings communities together through a shared love for coffee. Meanwhile, in Europe's vibrant city of Istanbul, doner kebab cooking sizzles on grills, tantalizing taste buds with its succulent flavors. The artistry behind this Turkish delight is a testament to centuries-old culinary expertise passed down through generations. Venturing into history and mythology, anger personified as Ira from 'The Seven Deadly Sins' series reminds us of the fiery emotions we all experience at times. Just like South American cannibals who once practiced roasting their prey in the 16th century—an eerie reminder of humanity's dark past. On a lighter note, Carmarthenshire introduces us to an ingenious invention—a wheel worked by dogs—turning roasting spits and adding a touch of whimsy to traditional cooking methods. Stratford-upon-Avon Mop Fair showcases ox roasting at its finest during Christmastide Festival celebrations—a mouthwatering spectacle that has stood the test of time. Indulging our sweet tooth cravings, Frys Chocolates tempts us with delectable treats crafted through meticulous roasting techniques. And let's not forget about French street traders selling hot roasted chestnuts back in 1908—their fragrant offerings warming hearts during chilly winter days. In tales both old and new such as 'The Monkey and the Cat, ' animals teach us valuable lessons while Curius Dentatus exemplifies integrity by refusing bribes from Samnites long ago. Roasting transcends borders—it unites cultures and tells stories steeped in tradition or etched within historical moments.
