  • 這是墨西哥 "Pueblan"的由來..

    "About Pueblan Origin" / Mexico
    The creative blending of diverse ingredients is the hallmark of Mexican cooking, and in the state of Puebla it is a passion. Everywhere there is talk of food. People give detailed accounts of what they've just eaten, plan to eat later, or what was served at the most recent fiesta. Their enthusiasm for the subject is born of pride in one of the oldest and most savory regional cuisines of Mexico.
  • Long before the Spaniards came to this area and built the city of Puebla, the nearby town of Cholula was a ceremonial center and home of pre-hispanic street food, which was sold to the worshippers who thronged to the great pyramid. The conquerors established Puebla as a center of their own religion, building several convents and monasteries. Poblano cuisine is a mixture of the traditional indigenous fare and the influence of the Spanish nuns, in whose grand conventos were born such specialties as chiles en nogada, mole poblano, and a variety of sweets bordering on the baroque.

    The good sisters spent a great deal of their time cooking, and enthusiastically embraced the local ingredients. Tortillas and salsas, moles and pipians (both sauces), were introduced to the tables of the Poblano families of New Spain. By far the most widely-adopted was corn; one form of it or another is eaten daily. Puebla is called la cuna del maiz - the cradle of corn - because the oldest corn kernels in the world were found in the area of Tehuacán, Puebla.

    Today, some of the best places at which to sample local specialties are at the ferias, or fairs.

  • 我想台灣不可以漏掉喔 (但是我不曉得自己國家算不算數耶) / 酸辣湯

    "Hot and Sour Soup"
    Ingredients
    1 can chicken broth
    Pork and pork bones(or chicken)
    1/2 cup of elephant ear fungus, soaked in hot water
    1/2 tiger lily buds, soaked in hot water
    Bamboo shoots
    Mushrooms
    Tofu, cut into slivers
    Soy sauce
    Sherry (optional)
    Salt to taste
    Vinegar and pepper
    Cornstarch mix with cold water
    1 beaten egg,
    Scallion, chopped

    Preparation
    I use a canned chicken broth, with pork and pork bones added, simmered until the pork is tender, and the soup is rich (chicken may also be added to, or substituted for the pork).
    In the meantime, soak about 1/2 cup of elephant ear fungus, and tiger lily buds in hot water. Pick over these ingredients for hard bits (cut them off), and cut them each into small pieces or strips. Some people add bamboo shoots, mushrooms and other veggies, as well. I add only the first two. Add to the broth and simmer for about half an hour.
    At the same time add a cake of tofu that you have cut into slivers. Add soy sauce to desired color, and a bit of sherry (optional). Salt to taste; add vinegar and pepper (I use black pepper; some prefer white) until the desired hotness is reached. Add cornstarch, dissolved in cold water, until desired thickness is attained, and lastly, slowly add and stir in a slightly beaten egg, and a chopped scallion. That's it!

  • 下面是日本壽司的由來

    "The Origin of Sushi"
    Japan is an island nation, its surrounding seas warmed by Kuroshio, the plankton-rich Japan Current, and abundant with an astonishing variety of fish and shellfish. The islands themselves are mountainous, and what little arable land exists is terraced and carefully cultivated to coax rice and a few other crops from the earth.

    Japan has always fed its dense population from the sea and the rice fields, its cuisine emphasizing what nature provides. Sushi, the combination of raw fish and seasoned rice that seems so exotic to foreigners, is a supremely logical food in Japan.
  • Sushi began centuries ago in Japan as a method of preserving fish. It is told that the origins of sushi came from countries of Southeastern Asia. Cleaned, raw fish were pressed between layers of salt and weighted with a stone. After a few weeks, the stone was removed and replaced with a light cover, and a few months after that, the fermented fish and rice were considered ready to eat.

    Some restaurants in Tokyo still serve this original style of sushi, called narezushi made with freshwater carp. Its flavor is so strong that it obscures the fish's identity altogether, and narezushi is something of an acquired taste.
  • It wasn't until the eighteenth century that a clever chef named Yohei decided to forego the fermentation and serve sushi in something resembling its present form. It became very popular and two distinct styles emerged Kansai style, from the city of Osaka in the Kansai region, and Edo style, from Tokyo, which was then called Edo. Osaka has always been the commercial capital of Japan, and the rice merchants there developed sushi that consisted primarily of seasoned rice mixed with other ingredients and formed into decorative, edible packages.

    Tokyo, located on a bay then rich with fish and shellfish, produced nigirizushi, featuring a select bit of seafood on a small pad of seasoned rice.

    Although the ornamental sushi of the Kansai region is still very popular, it is nigirizushi that foreigners are familiar with.
    Today, even Japanese consider nigirizushi the origin of sushi, the truth is different. Kansai sushi (Osaka Sushi) has much more history and techniques than nigirizushi.
