  • Nigerian Jollof Rice with Fried Plantain (Dodo) and Grilled Chicken for Christmas!
    Nigerian jollof rice with fried plantain (dodo) and grilled chicken for Christmas! Nigeria is an African country which is extremely rich in cultural diversity. With over two hundred different ethnic groups and local languages, one can easily imagine the variety of dishes that emerge from such a country. Every ethnic group has a few special meals but there is one meal which brings the entire nation together especially during Christmas. We call it ‘Nigerian Jollof Rice’. Several African countries have their own style of Jollof rice but Nigerian jollof is very special in its own way. For a complete experience, this meal is served with fried ripe plantain (popularly known as ‘dodo’ in western Nigeria), and fried chicken or turkey. Here, I will explain the process of preparing the Nigerian jollof rice with dodo and grilled chicken.

  • National Dish
    National dish From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_dish A national dish is a culinary dish that is strongly associated with a particular country.[1] A dish can be considered a national dish for a variety of reasons: • It is a staple food, made from a selection of locally available foodstuffs that can be prepared in a distinctive way, such as fruits de mer, served along the west coast of France.[1] • It contains a particular 'exotic' ingredient that is produced locally, such as the South American paprika grown in the European Pyrenees.[1] • It is served as a festive culinary tradition that forms part of a cultural heritage—for example, barbecues at summer camp or fondue at dinner parties—or as part of a religious practice, such as Korban Pesach or Iftar celebrations.[1] • It has been promoted as a national dish, by the country itself, such as the promotion of fondue as a national dish of Switzerland by the Swiss Cheese Union (Schweizerische Käseunion) in the 1930s. Pilaf (O'sh), a national dish in the cuisines of Central Asia National dishes are part of a nation's identity and self-image.[2] During the age of European empire-building, nations would develop a national cuisine to distinguish themselves from their rivals.[3] According to Zilkia Janer, a lecturer on Latin American culture at Hofstra University, it is impossible to choose a single national dish, even unofficially, for countries such as Mexico, China or India because of their diverse ethnic populations and cultures.[2] The cuisine of such countries simply cannot be represented by any single national dish.

  • Food in the Process of Community Formation and Identity Shaping Among African Traders in Guangzhou and Yiwu
    We are what we eat: food in the process of community formation Title and identity shaping among African traders in Guangzhou and Yiwu Author(s) Bodomo, A; Ma, E Citation African Diaspora, 2012, v. 5 n. 1, p. 3-26 Issued Date 2012 URL http://hdl.handle.net/10722/166109 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution- Rights NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. We are what we eat: food in the process of community formation and identity shaping among African traders in Guangzhou and Yiwu Adams Bodomo < [email protected] > University of Hong Kong and Grace Ma < [email protected] > Zhejiang Normal University Abstract In this paper we analyze two African communities in Guangzhou and Yiwu, China, arguing that among Guangzhou Africans on the one hand, Black Africans, particularly West Africans, have a tighter community and interact more with each other than Black Africans in Yiwu. On the other hand, Maghrebian Africans in Yiwu have a tighter community and maintain a more cohesive interaction than their counterparts in Guangzhou. Evidence for this characterization of the communities comes from food and communal food-eating habits. There are hardly any West African restaurants in Yiwu while there is an abundance of West African and other Black African restaurants in Guangzhou where there is more community patronage. In contrast, there are more concentrations of North African restaurants in Yiwu than in Guangzhou. We discuss the crucial role food and food-making and eating places play in providing structures and avenues for community bonding to promote community formation and community identity shaping.

  • Tyler Cowen's Ethnic Dining Guide – July 2004, Sixteenth Edition
    Tyler Cowen's Ethnic Dining Guide – June 2019, 31th edition. The Guide is also available in search-able, browse-able format. I wish to offer thanks to all those who offered dining suggestions and evaluations (keep them coming!). This has made the guide better, and longer, than before. It also means the guide has more unvisited places than before. I hope to get to them soon! You also should buy my book An Economist Gets Lunch: New Rules for Everyday Foodies. General remarks Restaurants manifest the spirit of capitalist multiculturalism. Entrepreneurship, international trade and migration, and cultural exchange all come together in these communal eateries. In the last twenty or so years, the Washington D.C. area has become a leader in ethnic restaurants. We lag behind New York City and Los Angeles, but we vie with Chicago and the Bay Area for third place in the United States. In some areas, such as Ethiopian cuisine, we are number one. This guide is intended to help individuals enjoy good food, and keep my favorite places in business. Effective consumer choice improves your eating and, in the long run, improves the quality of available restaurants. The better ethnic restaurants tend to have many of their kind in a given geographic area. Single restaurant representations of a cuisine tend to disappoint. Competition increases quality and lowers prices. The presence of many restaurants of a kind in an area creates a pool of educated consumers, trained workers and chefs, and ingredient supplies - all manifestations of increasing returns to scale. Many of the best ethnic restaurants on this list come from the well-represented cuisines.
