Apart from being a source of survival, food serves the purpose of conjugating people from different cultural backgrounds. In a fast paced world, where there is no time to spare, meal time offers great time to communicate and to break bread with one"s family members and associates. Food is an articulation of love and often consorted with hospitality making it a core of many traditions. The alimentary preference of an individual divulges his/her cultural background and in turn communal cultural heritage. Food is a powerful instrument that aids the immigrants in preserving their cultural identity and enables them to attain a place in their new nation. The dietary constituents, preparatory method, choice of food is distinct for distinct cultures. In a cross cultural society, there is a high chance of amalgamation of culinary practices, like the recent mushrooming of multiple multicultural cuisines, which can result in a commingling of multiple cultures.

Traditional language learning is often turning out to be an involuntary process, alienating learners and thereby posing bigger challenges to second language teaching. Given the ongoing diversified technological revolution, an informal user-friendly ambience was created, making learning an uncomplicated and stress-free exercise. Digital platforms aid in several ways for learning languages - such as online language courses and special purpose mobile applications. Exposure to the language is vital in the learning process and social media can be of great help here. There is no better choice as a practice ground than social media and its associated forms. Fanfiction forums are the most popular reading and writing communities on the Internet. This paper attempts to throw light on how fanfiction can be useful in the task-based language teaching method for attainment of advanced fluency in reading and writing skills. A looming literary sensation and a source of entertainment, fanfictions of prominent literary works and visual arts are widely read and accepted by masses. This fictional writing can be incorporated into a higher-level language classroom as a learning tool, under the guidance of teachers who are accustomed to this form of writings and are digitally literate. A sample survey was conducted among fan fiction groups to highlight and justify the efficacy of fanfiction in promoting English language learning.
