  • Food for Thought a Life in Four Courses
    Food for Thought A Life in Four Courses TRANSCRIPT OF PODCAST EPISODE 9: Bimal Giri Bimal Giri was born in Bhutan and grew up in Nepal. In this episode he talks to us about celebrations, festivals and the traditional foods of his homeland. Bimal: I‘m Bimal Giri, I’m 47. I was born in Bhutan, brought up in Nepal and currently living in Edinburgh, Scotland. My cultural, em, we are Hindu, mainly, mainly agricultural country where we source most of our foods from what we grow, and food is, em, one of the important, em, things that we consider. We consider food is a gift of God, or reward. We have to take it in a very peaceful manner, and the food has to be very, aah, nutritious, healthy. So it is in our top priority. Nepal is a small country, just twice the size of Scotland. But it is very much diverse. Em, our country is surrounded by Tibet and India, so we source food from these both countries and it influences our cuisine. So if we say, if we go to south part our cuisines are very much influenced by the Indian dishes like curries and chapattis and parathas kind of things, but if you go to north part it is pretty much like a Tibet or Chinese like momo, the steamed dumplings or some pasta or noodles. So it varies, but again the rich or well off people has, they tend to eat more, kind of, meat and dairy product. Whereas, ah, the other class who cannot afford those, they just live with vegetables, ah, rice and their main staple diet is the dal bhat which consist of rice, lentil and vegetables twice a day, and that’s the food they eat.

  • Chinese Or Lunar New Year
    Teaching About Lunar New Year Dr. Margaret Hill Chinese New Year, or Spring Festival, falls on the first day of the first month of the new lunisolar calendar each year. The Lantern Festival that falls on the fifteenth day brings an end to the New Year season, though for China and other Asian countries, Spring Festival is a week-long holiday. Across Asian cultures that use the lunisolar calendar, it may be referred to simply as Lunar New Year. In Korean culture, for example, the holiday is called Seollal or simply Korean New Year and falls on the same date as Chinese New Year, and likewise with the Vietnamese Tet holiday, or Vietnamese New Year. (Since 1873, Japan has followed the same Gregorian calendar followed by the United States, and Japanese New Year, or Oshogatsu, falls on January 1 each year.) Lunar New Year Dates The lunisolar calendar is based on astronomical observations of Chinese Zodiac Year Date the sun's longitude and the moon's phases. Though shrouded in Animal Sign history, some scholars believe that the Chinese emperor Huangdi 2019 February 5 Pig introduced the calendar somewhere between 2500 to 3000 BCE. 2020 January 25 Rat 2021 February 12 Ox Other Asian cultures have used the lunisolar calendar nearly as long as in China. The calendar is used to determine festivals, so the dates of these festivals vary each year. At home, many Chinese Americans celebrate by burning incense, doing special prayers, and making offerings to ancestors and traditional gods. The celebrations of Chinese New Year are diverse, reflecting various ethnic customs and the combined influences of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Chinese folk religions.
