Re: Traditional dishes in your country

Post by Ryan Del Socorro »

I'm a Filipino situated in the southern part of the Philippines. There are lots of traditional food in our country. Usually, each region has something to call their traditional dish. But what I cherish the most is PATIR, a traditional maranao dish. This is a complete meal of rice and beef wrapped in banana leaf. The beef is cooked in spices and herbs, coconut milk, turmeric and chili. Then placed on top of rice cooked with the turmeric and coconut milk alongside Palapa -a mixture of spices, herbs and chili. Its really a treat.

I'm Puerto Rican. A traditional dish for us would be white rice with kidney beans, fried pork chops and maybe some fried green plantains or yellow plantains. There are other dishes.

I am from Northern India and Stuffed Potato chapati or Aloo Prantha is very famous breakfast here.
You just have to boil potatoes and remove their peel. Then make a filling of your choice of those boiled potatoes. Then prepare some chapatis and fill the dough in it and the paranthas are ready. :)

It's called "sarmale" and it's made from small pieces of pork and beef mixed with rice and wrapped in a small piece of cabbage. It's really good and it tastes great next to pepper or sour cream.

Latest Review: "The 11.05 Murders" by Brian O'Hare

Post by Jan Moraa Onsomu »

I'm from Kenya and I'd say the food that cuts across all the 42 communities in the country is ugali. It's basically a mixture of water and maize or finger millet flour that's hard. You achieve that by thoroughly mixing a 1:1 ratio of boiling water and the flour then keeping at it for about 10 minutes on moderate heat. It's commonly served with skuma wiki (kale) and avocado, which has earned it the 'USA' acronym. Mostly though, ugali is enjoyed with virtually anything, from scrambled eggs to fried beef, fish, chicken,beans or traditional vegetables. :)

I am from Kenya. The main traditional dish is Ugali. It is made from grounded corn.
Recipe:
Put three cups of clean water in a cooking pot.
Bring the water to boil.
Add one and a half cups of grounded corn into the boiling water.
Stir continuously until the mixture thickens to form a hard substance.
Continue cooking in low heat for ten minutes.
Serve with a stew of meat or vegetables.
