Lapodian culture is undergoing what many scholars refer to as "growing pains". As a new nation with efforts being made to forge a unified national identity, many cultural observers have noted the tension between the "Verecundian center" and the peripheral parts of the country. Additionally, latent national feelings towards Vorenia and Loreseia have led to problems related to mixed identity.

[[File:Pesto5.jpg|thumb|upright|Pasta with {{wp|pesto sauce|pesto}} is a traditional Lapodian recipe.]]
Lapodian cuisine is affected by the geomorphological characteristics of its territory. It makes use of ingredients coming from the sea as well as game and meat. Lapodian cuisine has transformed over the centuries in relation to the socio-economic situation of the region. The scarcity of cattle pastures forced the Lapods to develop dishes based on alternative ingredients such as fish and herbs, to which game was subsequently added. Lapods pair their meat condiments based on wild or cultivated herbs, among which {{wp|pesto}} stands out, which is used both as a sauce for pasta as well as being added to autumnal soups with a variety of fresh vegetables. Pesto is closely associated with Lapod cuisine abroad, and many brands of pesto internationally are sold in jars with the Lapodard language or otherwise claim an association with Lapody Also important are the many savoury pies with vegetables, the most famous of which are the pasqualina cake, the ripieni and focaccia traditionally filled with stracchino cheese known as ''focaccia col formaggio''. There are dishes based on ingredients such as herbs or chestnuts traditionally eaten by farmers. The preservation of food and therefore the use of Mason jars is fundamental in Lapodian cuisine, traditionally filled with mushrooms in oil, jams, honey, salted anchovies, brined foods, and dips. Over time, the continued restrictions on sea access imposed on Lapods by [[Burgundie]] in the 19th and early 20th century forced Lapods to pursue other sources of protein, including imported {{wp|pork}} as well as renewed attempts to rear cattle using new scientific research. After the [[Levantine Union]] was established, most of these efforts were abandoned in favor of traditional use of fish.
