  • A Review of the Malaysia's Heritage Delicacy Alongside with The
    Ismail et al. Journal of Ethnic Foods (2021) 8:19 Journal of Ethnic Foods https://doi.org/10.1186/s42779-021-00095-3 REVIEW ARTICLE Open Access The Malay’s traditional sweet, dodol:a review of the Malaysia’s heritage delicacy alongside with the rendition of neighbouring countries Norsyahidah Ismail1, Muhammad Shahrim Ab. Karim1* , Farah Adibah Che Ishak1, Mohd Mursyid Arsyad2, Supatra Karnjamapratum3 and Jiraporn Sirison3 Abstract The Malaysia’s cultural heritage is authentic, unique and colourful with various local cuisines of different races and cultures. It is mainly originated from the Malay culture being the largest ethnic group in the country. The Malays themselves have contributed to many local cuisines ranging from appetiser, soup, main course and dessert. However, some Malay heritage foods have almost been forgotten and jeopardized in quality. This is especially happening to the Malay sweets or desserts which have gradually become less appealing to the younger generations. They are not even familiar with Malay foods, let alone consuming them. Among the popular Malay heritage foods in Malaysia are lemang, ketupat, rendang, wajik and dodol. Dodol specifically has been listed as one of the endangered heritage foods in Malaysia. Preserving the Malay cuisines is part of sustaining the Malay culture and this should begin with a great amount of knowledge and understanding about any elements within the culture itself. This article highlights a nostalgic and evergreen Malay’s traditional sweet, known by the locals as dodol by discussing its history, different types and names of dodol, as well as the recipes, preparation, cooking methods and packaging.

    Advances in Seafood Byproducts 43 Alaska Sea Grant College Program • AK-SG-03-01, 2003 Utilization of Fish Byproducts in Iceland Sigurjon Arason Icelandic Fisheries Laboratories, and University of Iceland, Department of Food Science, Reykjavik, Iceland Abstract Fisheries are the single most important industry in Iceland, and will con- tinue to play an important role in the economy of Iceland for a long time to come. In 2001 the total catch was around 2 million tons, accounting for 62% of the country’s merchandise exports. The living marine resources are, however, limited and it is important to utilize these resources in a sustainable way. It is also important to maximize their value by produc- ing high-priced products from the raw material, which is currently be- ing used for fish meal or simply discarded. For example, today all cod heads from land-based processing plants are being utilized and lately the freezing trawlers have begun freezing them onboard for processing on shore. Fortunately, most of the byproducts are no longer regarded as waste but are used as raw material for fish processing like roe, liver, mince, viscera, etc. The byproducts from salting, freezing, and canning fresh fish and other processes have different qualities and potentials. Therefore, quality management is important and new technologies are emerging that will allow a new range of products to be made from byproducts which will, for example, benefit the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries worldwide. Introduction The living marine resources in Icelandic waters are the most important natural resources in the country. In 2001, the total catch was around 2 million tons, (Fig.

CONGRATULATIONS, FEZANA The Federation of the Zoroastrian Association of North America (FEZANA) was registered in the State of Illinois, USA, on June 2, 1987 as a non-profit, religious and charitable organization. In the twenty-five years since them FEZANA has had many accomplishments. In July 1996, we undertook a "Strategic Planning" exercise (FEZANA Journal, Fall 1996) which identified four collective goals for the community and the organization. One of the goals was “a thousand points of light” aimed at preserving our community’s religious and cultural entity. This publication, “Eat, Live, Pray: A celebration of Zarathushti culture and cuisine” upholds this goal. Food plays a very important role in our Zarathushti psyche. We create all varieties of food for different occasions; special food for happy occasions and we also have food for the dead in our religious ceremonies. In the Summer, 2011 edition of the FEZANA Journal, Sarosh and Benafsha Khariwala together with Arnavaz Chubb, all in Melbourne, Australia, explored the concept of “Food as Our Identity”.

  • FOODS USED by FILIPINOS in HAWAII 20 List of Foods Used but Not Analyzed
    FOODS lJSED BY FILIPINOS IN HAWAII BY CAREY D. MILLER LUCILLE LOUIS KISAKO YANAZAWA UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 98. HONOLULU, HAWAII • 1946 BAHAY KUBO (MY NIPA HUT) Bahay kubo kahima't munti Ang halaman doon au lumalati; Singkamas at talong, sigarrillas, mani, Sitao, batao, patani. Kundol, patola, upo't kalabasa At saka mayroon pang labanos, mustasa; Sibuyas, kamatis, baoang at luya, Sa palibot' ay puro linga. This Filipino folk song tells of the many vegetables growing in the garden surrounding the little nipa hut in which the Filipinos live. The song includes the names of many of the vegetables described in this bulletin, as well as egg­ plant, peanuts, onion, garlic, ginger, and others. The authors wish to thank Emilia S. Cavan, of Manila, for permission to quote the poem, which appears in her book Filipino Folk Songs (Manila, 1924). 2 Foreword THE CONDITIONS described in this bulletin were true at the time the manuscript was completed in 1941. Since that time the war has prevented the importation of foodstuffs from the Philippines and has caused some changes in the employ­ ment of Filipinos in Hawaii. However, since the war has not materially altered the food habits and the health of the Filipinos in Hawaii, the manuscript has not been revised. The bulletin was written primarily for the use of teachers, extension agents, public health nurses, dietitians, and others interested in the welfare of Filipinos in Hawaii. Parts of it should also be of help and interest to Filipino students in intermediate and high schools, who can interpret the findings and recommen­ dations to those parents who cannot read English.
