This comes after the nation had five culinary world records recognised for the first time in November, 2021, by both the WorldKings and the World Records Association (WRA).

In line with this, the country boasts the largest number of "strand and broth” dishes and the most variety of "mam”, fermented fish, dishes in the world, with each being made with unique flavours.
