What are your favourite ethnic foods and describe?

Question

any enthnicity

anything i might or might not of heard of

Answer 1

Caribbean food:

The food has a lot more flavor than most because we use a lot of fresh herbs as opposed to dried/packaged seasonings.

A lot of the foods are cooked in coconut milk.

In the Caribbean there are people from many Ethnic backgrounds living here so you get a taste of all of them and the thing is that while all of them taste good, you still miss the rich, flavorful taste of Caribbean cooking.

My favorite would be:

Roasted breadfruit (roasted on an open fireside) with crabs cooked in curry and coconut milk, stewed pork in coconut milk and pelau (meat, pref chicken, peas, rice,fresh seasonings, pumpkin all cooked together in coconut milk).

Answer 3

I'm not Indian, but I love me some Indian food!  Hot, spicy, complex, bursting forth with flavor and can be healthy if prepared so.  Nothing like a good curry.  Try it if you haven't had it!

well im half puerto rican so i love there food my favs are bacalou which is slated cured cod, lechon which is basically a raw ham thats cooked with a whole bunch of spices and seasons and arroz con gandules which is rice with pegion peas

Answer 5

spanish:tres leches it originates from dominican republic..

Cake:

6 large eggs, separated

2 cups granulated sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cream topping:

1 14-ounce can evaporated milk

1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk

1 cup heavy cream

Icing:

3 tablespoons water

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3 large egg whites

1 ripe mango, peeled, seed removed, and thinly sliced

1 ripe papaya, peeled, seeds removed, and thinly sliced

To make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and set aside.

In the bowl of a mixer, beat the egg whites on low speed until soft peaks form. Add the sugar gradually with the mixer running and peak to stiff peaks. Add the egg yolks 1 at a time, beating well after the addition of each.

Sift together the flour and baking powder and add to the egg mixture, alternating with the milk. (Do this quickly so the batter does not lose volume.) Add the vanilla. Bake until golden, 25 minutes.

To make the cream topping: In a blender, combine the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream and blend on high speed.

Remove the cake from the oven and while still warm, pour the cream mixture over it. Let sit and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.

To make the icing: Once the cake is completely chilled, in a saucepan combine the water and sugar. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and stir to dissolve the sugar. Cook until the mixture reaches the soft ball stage, 235 to 240 degrees F. Remove from the heat. In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks. While beating, add the hot syrup in a stream. Beat until all the syrup has been added, the mixture cools, and a glossy icing forms.

To assemble: Remove the cake from the refrigerator and spread the icing evenly across the top. Arrange the mango and papaya slices over the top and serve.

Answer 6

Thai because of the complex spicy flavors and elegant presentation. Drawback is a lot of dishes tend to be too sweet.

Vietnamese, because it's inbetween Chinese and Thai. Fresh herbal complex flavors without the sugar sweet taste of Thai and greasiness of Chinese. Lots of soups and salads too.

Greek, great blend of spices, and grilled meats. A lot healthier than italian and more fresh vegetables.

Japanese because simple flavors. All dishes are made so you taste the subtle flavors of each ingredient. That's why traditional sushi is just fish on rice.

Indian, for complex spices and baked flatbreads. Although one of the main drawbacks is heavy use of fried and buttered foods. Also they tend to overcook vegetables. Very stew based.

Overall if any ethnic cuisine that can make good seafood.
