Culinary triangle

The culinary triangle is a concept described by anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss involving three types of cooking; these are boiling, roasting, and smoking, usually done to meat. Boiling meat is seen to be a cultural form of cooking because it uses a receptacle to hold water, therefore it is not completely natural. It is also the most preferred way to cook because none of the meat or its juices are lost. In most cultures, this form of cooking is usually conducted by women and is served domestically to small closed groups, such as families.
