As this is going to be the last post of the blog, I thought it'd be fun to post something related with food! Every country has its own unique flavor. Not only it's tasty, it also has an aroma which makes the mouth water long before it is consumed! Most of the foods do not have just one flavor, most of the times it is sweet, sour, spicy, salty and bitter (at times). Let's take a food ride, shall we?
Thai Food
Thai food is synonymous with hot and spicy. Cooked in similar fashion all through the country, Thai food has made its name across frontiers for its tangy taste. Asparagus, rice and various types of curries are main ingredients of Thai food. Cook a few authentic dishes and serve the guests and family Southeast Asia flavor.
Pad Thai- The Pad Thai dish is very popular which has originated from Thailand. It originally is a dish that is comprised stir-fried noodles combined with various other ingredients. Primarily, ingredients such as fish sauce, eggs, shrimp or chicken are used.
Spanish Food
Spain is known for its very diverse culture and this reflects in the Spanish food as well. Spanish food consists of a variety of mouth-watering food items, which lay emphasis on seafood. There are many typical dishes that form a part of Spanish cuisine. Potato dishes, food items that include beans, different types of stews and dishes that include bread are all a common feature out here. Spanish food also varies as per region.
Paella- Paella is one of the major dishes of the Spanish cuisine. It is a delicious rice dish made with vegetables, seafood or both. There are mainly three types of paella viz. Valencian paella, mixed paella and seafood paella.
Mexican Food
Mexican cuisine is popular the world over for its intense flavor and colorful presentation. Mexican food has a tangy flavor to it, which makes it impossible to resist! Traditional Mexican recipes such as tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas and barbacoa are consistently explored for options by some of the world's foremost gourmet chefs. Cinnamon, chile powder, epazote, oregano, cumin and cilantro are some of the widely used spices.
Guacamole- Guacamole is a delicious dip that is thick in its consistency, served with tortilla chips. The basic recipe for preparing guacamole includes finely chopped tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice and mashed avocado being the vital ingredient. The main ingredient avocado consists of potassium and is a rich source of Beta - sitosterol which serves to be an antioxidant, very rich in providing nutritional benefits.
German Food
German food is often caricatured as just being made up of sauerkraut, sausages and schnitzel, but German food is much more than just that. The cuisine in the north of the country is generally thought to be healthier with the emphasis being on fish from the North Sea and the Baltic, which includes pickled roll mop herrings as well as fresh herrings, cooked whole, served with potatoes and bacon dip.
Sauerkraut- Sauerkraut in German means 'sour cabbage'. The famous traditional German recipe, sauerkraut is prepared from shredded cabbage which is fermented by lactic acid bacteria. Its sour flavor and long shelf life are a result of the lactic acid that is formed when bacteria ferment sugars inside the cabbage. It is rich in vitamin C and hence very useful in preventing diseases like scurvy.
Moroccan Food
Moroccan cuisines are a mix of African, Middle Eastern, Arab, Mediterranean and Berber influences. Spices such as cinnamon, pepper, turmeric, coriander, cumin and parsley, are widely used all over the region. Chicken or lamb, along with bread, accompanied with cold and hot salads and vegetables are popular all over Morocco. Beef is another common meat consumed in most parts of this region. Green tea with mint is one of the most popular drinks seen in Moroccan cuisine.
Couscous- The Couscous is one of the oldest of dishes that belong to Moroccan cuisine. It consists of specially formed, fine-grained semolina that has been steamed before being served in a mound with vegetables and meat on top. The dish is traditionally cooked all at once in a special kind of steamer pot called a couscoussier, with the couscous in the top and the other ingredients in the bottom.
