  • 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.

  • Travelling Recipes and Their Alteration in the Long Eighteenth Century
    The Roast Charade: Travelling Recipes and their Alteration in the Long Eighteenth Century Helga Müllneritsch In this paper, I wish to focus on selected ‘travelling’ 336 recipes and explore possible reasons for their successful adoption or rejection. The dishes we eat are more than just energy supplies for our bodies; they give us a feeling of continuity and identity, and carry powerful symbolic significance. Via food, both individuals and groups are able to generate a sense of ‘home’ and membership of a particular social or ethnic group. Certain meals or food preparation methods are also seen as ‘typical’ of a region and are often used to express particular political views. 337 In the long eighteenth century, for example, food items which were imported from the colonies – like coffee, tea, sugar, tobacco or spices – had much more influence on the attitudes of the British towards their Empire than pamphlets, newspapers or travel narra- tives. 338 But this phenomenon was not limited to the British Empire; in the 1780s, goulash – formerly a dish restricted to Hungarian herdsmen and peas- ant communities – was used by the Hungarian nobility as a symbol of oppo- sition to the attempts by the Austrian emperor, Joseph II, to modernise the economy and society, as well as to his aim of building a united empire, en- compassing Austria, Bohemia and Hungary. 339 The naming of adopted dishes can often be traced to a variety of political and social considerations. One of them is the prestige that can come with a foreign-sounding name because of the symbolic significance of foreign dish- es (which are perceived as exotic, expensive etc.), with the result that travel- ling dishes either keep their foreign name or are even given a foreign- sounding name without actually being new or foreign.

For 300 years, the Princes of Liechtenstein have succeeded in living peacefully with their neighbours Switzerland and Austria. The same applies to the Bailliage Liechtenstein, which has nurtured friendly relations with these neighbouring countries for almost 40 years. Despite being a small bailliage, my friend Bailli Délégué Daniel Jäggi and his National Council is dedicated and noted for superb hospitality, gastronomy and culture. A good reason for many guests from all over the world to enjoy all this in a beautiful landscape. I am looking forward to celebrating an exceptional Grand Chapitre with many guests and friends.

    Bachelor’s Thesis Chinese and Kenyan Food Culture-Information for Health Care Personnel in Finland Hilary I. Duru Tianci Wang Larvine A. Odhianbo Degree Program in Nursing 2009 TURKU UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES ABSTRACT Degree Program: Degree Program of Nursing Author(s): Hilary I Duru, Tianci Wang, Larvine Achieng Odhiambo Title: Chinese and Kenyan Food Culture-Information for Health Care Personnel in Finland Specialization line: Nursing Instructors: Heikki Ellila & Seija Alho Date: December 2009 Total number of pages:47 This study examines the food cultures of Asian and African countries in general. It concentrates on Chinese and Kenyan food cultures and compares the Chinese and Kenyan food habits with Finnish food habits as well. The contents are based on the results from an extensive review of the literature including articles, books and internet resources on this and related topics. The result of the literature review is affirmed by the results of group discussions carried out by the authors with immigrants and some Finnish people. The respondents for the group discussions (n=14) are from Finland, China, Malaysia, South Korea, Nepal, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Morocco. The purpose was to find out what food cultures exist in these foreign cultures and how they differ from Finnish food culture. The results of this study confirm that people living in different parts of the world have different eating habits which are determined by their culture, beliefs, people and geographic location. The results also show that when people move from place to place they take their culture along. The outcome of this project is a brochure which contains basic food ingredients and food habits of Chinese and Kenyan cultures.
