A variety of studies are examined to assess the significance of traditional ethnic-based food habits in a different cultural setting (specifically focusing on different ethnic minorities residing in the United Kingdom), and to identify factors that contribute to the strength of these habits. The influence of these habits on the acceptance or non-acceptance of particular foods offered to ethnic groups in institutionalized settings is discussed. Food habits of Asians, Hindus, Moslems, Other Indians, and Jews are discussed.
