Yumm...yummmmm! I love these!! What a great topic...I love hearing where everyone is from and about traditional dishes of each country! So much fun!Booky_BettyC wrote:Cabbage rolls are my ultimate favourite. My great grandma use to make her own sour cabbage and make her own specially spiced beef or pork, sometimes both, and rice for the filling. She also made her own red sauce for them. I live in Canada, but when I think of traditional food right away I think of my Ukrainian heritage.

Yesss! Yum! I love them all too!Kalin Adi wrote:I'm Panamanian. Traditional food that I love: tamales, temptation plantains, chicheme, coconut rice, tostones (fried plantains), and many more. Okay! To tell you the truth, I like them all.

I'm a huge fan of Jerk Chicken! First time I had it was in Jamaica. I teach high school in Michigan, and one of my former students is Jamaican. I used to tell him all the time how much I loved Jerk Chicken. His mom made me some and brought it to lunch for me one day at work as a surprise. So nice of her! Thanks for sharing!Stacy Liv wrote:I'm from the Caribbean so my traditional dish here in Jamaica is the Jerk Chicken it's season in local herbs and spices and then flamed grill, what makes this so good it the Jamaican jerk sauce

The process is similar to the way the native Pacific Islanders (Hawaii, Samoa) do it. But, in my process the meat is cut to 1/4 pound sizes. Then put in the pot with an earthen lid in a low fire and left for up-to 6 hours. The only addition is salt but sometimes I add coconut milk and/or Tamarind. Eaten with either boiled rice, Ugali (a type of corn-bread common to East Africa) or bread. My wife and kids can't get enough of this meal.

You always amaze me, brother! An engineer who writes, runs 12 miles (at least!) daily, and cooks a dish (that takes six hours to get done) for his wife and kids is someone I can only admire.juliusotinyo wrote:Ah, I have many. But the one my kids love the most when I cook for them (and I have the time!) is a type of slow cooked pork done inside an earthen pot/bowl. I have a large farm where I feed my pigs on corn and cowpeas. I select the 4-7 month olds. The meat is just tender enough for the process at that age.

You see, I don't exercise and I don't cook. At least, I can write a little.

Awe inspiring! I hope u keep it up. On another note, i live in Trinidad. We have a whole lot of cuisines that are indigeneous to here, but i think the most popular would be doubles. It's bara and channa.... well simplified its fried dough thsts rolled out thinly, (the recipe is simple: salt, flour, baking powder and water) and curried channa. Trini style currying is very different from most places, but when drizzled with some cucumber chutney (cucumbers sliced thinly in pepper and salt and maybe a little vinegar), and some shadon benni sauce ( more commonly known as cilantro abroad), its just what u need after a long hot day. Sigh... now i want some doubles.Miriam Molina wrote:juliusotinyo wrote:Ah, I have many.

Thanks for your compliments maybe its just discipline. If you love what you do I guess it comes naturally. And i love to cook, write and exercise. Besides, who can resist the fresh cool mountain air of my rural Mt Elgon home. Thanks again, am flattered by your comments. See you soon.

I love the Caribbean, the people, the general feel. I've never visited Trinidad though. Maybe next time, might even get me some of those "doubles."

Very tempting. I like too!

I like the Nigerian food called 'MoiMoi'. It is actually a form of bean pudding cooked by steaming blended soft beans that have been spiced with fish, eggs and condiments (to taste). It is highly nutritional and is a good way of introducing children to adult meals or for people convalescing from illness. It can be eaten with custard or pap (made from corn) or served with rice and chicken. Yummy!!
