The term "wet food" refers to any type of food that contains a significant amount of liquid or moisture. This can include things like soup, stews, broths, sauces, and other dishes where water, stock, or another liquid is an essential ingredient in the recipe. Wet foods are typically cooked by boiling or simmering, which helps to distribute the flavorful liquid throughout the dish. They can be served hot or cold, depending on the specific recipe and personal preference.
