A certain type of delicacies though are easily identified as European cuisines, they are not much different to their Bangladeshi variants, observes a noted food critic.
In an interview with bdnews24.com on Monday, Master Chef Matt Preston said Bangladeshi foods are unique in many ways.
“Use of mustard oil in cooking is unique. I also know hundreds of types of potatoes. But it’s again unique that potato in this region is used in biryani, and this biryani can be part of the UNESCO World Heritage.”
The UN cultural organisation’s “world intangible heritage” list seeks to protect cultural practices in the same way as UNESCO protects sites of cultural value or great natural beauty.


The Vogue food critic is now in Dhaka to promote a local cookie brand, Rivoli.
On Monday, he met the winners of `Meet Matt Preston’ campaign organised by the Unimech Food Factory, the creator of Revoli.
Matt is the Brand Ambassador of Rivoli.
He shared his experience with bdnews24.com before the event.


The famous food critique said Bakharkhani, Kala Bhuna and curry prepared with Saatkora caught his attention.
“It is very interesting that Dhaka people use the social media to share their eating out experiences.”
