User:KeruoJiang/National Dish

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Sunday roast consisting of roast beef, mashed potatoes, vegetables and mini Yorkshire puddings, is NOT a national dish of the United Kingdom.
Satay is considered one of the national dishes of Indonesia.[1] It is also popular in neighbouring countries like Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, as well as in the Netherlands.
Pierogi ruskie (Ruthenian dumplings), the most enduring of Polish culinary traditions, recall the Ruthenian culinary traditions of the former Polish eastern territories (Kresy),[2] a national dish of Poland.
Nihari is a spicy national dish of Pakistan.

A national dish is a meal or snack that is considered indigenous to a particular country.[3] A culinary creation can be considered a national dish for a variety of reasons. For example:

Food and cultural identity[edit]

National dishes are parts of a nation's identity and self-image.[4] During the age of European empire-building, nations would develop a national cuisine to distinguish themselves from their rivals.[5]

Zilka Janer observes that it is impossible to choose a single national dish, even unofficially, for countries such as Mexico, because of their diverse ethnic populations and cultures. The cuisine of such countries simply cannot be represented by any single, national dish. Furthermore, because national dishes are so interwoven in a nation's sense of identity, strong emotions and conflicts can arise when trying to choose a country's national dish.[4]

Platos nacionales[edit]

In Latin America, dishes may be claimed or designated as a "plato nacional" although in many cases recipes transcend national borders with only minor variations.

Both Peru and Ecuador claim ceviche as their national dish. Colombian ajiaco and the sancocho of the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Panama, all of which are stews of meats, plaintains, and root vegetables, are the plato nacional of them all. Zilka Janer, lecturer on Latin American culture at Hofstra University, observes that this sharing of the same plato nacional by different countries calls into question the idea that every country has a unique national dish that is special to that country, and indicates that cuisine is something that does not respect national and geopolitical borders.[4]

The identification of Latin American national dishes is stronger, Janer notes, amongst expatriate communities in North America. In Latin American countries, the plato nacional is usually part of the cuisine of rural and peasant communities, and not part of the everyday cuisine of city dwellers at all. But in expatriate communities, they are strongly reclaimed in order to retain the communities' senses of national identity, and ties to one's homeland, and proudly served in homes and restaurants. This is a reaction on the parts of those communities that is attempting to resist social pressures that push to homogenize such ethnically and culturally diverse communities into single all-encompassing group identities such as Latinos or Hispanic Americans.[4]

National dishes and foods by country[edit]

This is not a definitive list of national dishes, but rather a list of some foods that have been suggested to be national dishes.

Top 10 National Dishes:[133] 1)Hamburgers, U.S. Although the origins of the hamburger are disputed, there is no argument over the popularity of this classic dish. Toppings and accompaniments vary from region to region, but for an original version visit Louis’ Lunch in New Haven, Connecticut, which has been serving hamburgers since 1900 and claims to be the oldest hamburger restaurant in the U.S. Planning: Louis’ Lunch is open most days for lunch and some days until the early hours of the morning.

2)Ackee and Saltfish, Jamaica Despite ackee’s unhappy origins as slave food, Jamaicans have reclaimed it as part of their national dish. A nutritious fruit with a buttery-nutty flavor, ackee resembles scrambled egg when boiled. Jamaicans sauté the boiled ackee with saltfish (salt-cured cod), onions, and tomatoes. Sometimes the dish is served atop bammy (deep-fried cassava cakes) with fried plantains. Planning: Jake’s, Treasure Beach, is renowned for ackee and saltfish and also offers cooking classes.

3)Coo-Coo and Flying Fish, Barbados A polenta-like cornmeal and okra porridge, coo-coo pairs perfectly with flying fish, which is either steamed with lime juice, spices, and vegetables or fried and served with a spicy sauce. Planning: The Flying Fish restaurant overlooking St. Lawrence Bay claims to be the Barbadian national dish’s home.

4) Bulgogi, Korea Beef bulgogi (fire meat) is a dish of thinly sliced, prime cuts of meat marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, onions, ginger, sugar, and wine and then grilled. It is often eaten wrapped in lettuce or spinach leaves and accompanied by kimchi (fermented vegetable pickle). Many Korean restaurants have miniature barbecues embedded in tables where diners grill the meat themselves. Planning: Seoul’s upmarket Byeokje Galbi chain is a bulgogi sensation.

5) Kibbeh, Lebanon/Syria Dining well Levantine-style often means sticking to the delicious mezes (appetizers). Kibbeh, a versatile confection of ground lamb, bulgur, and seasonings, is a core component of mezes. It is often fried in torpedo or patty shapes, baked, boiled, or stuffed, but is tastiest raw. Planning: Aleppans in northern Syria are kibbeh’s greatest innovators, flavoring it with ingredients like pomegranate or cherry juice.

6) Hamburgers, U.S. Although the origins of the hamburger are disputed, there is no argument over the popularity of this classic dish. Toppings and accompaniments vary from region to region, but for an original version visit Louis’ Lunch in New Haven, Connecticut, which has been serving hamburgers since 1900 and claims to be the oldest hamburger restaurant in the U.S. Planning: Louis’ Lunch is open most days for lunch and some days until the early hours of the morning.

Drink[edit]

National liquors[edit]

A national liquor is an alcoholic drink considered a standard and respected adult beverage in a given country. While many such drinks status may be informal, there is usually a general consensus in a given country that a specific drink has national status or is the "most popular liquor" in a given nation.

A nutritious fruit with a buttery-nutty flavor, ackee resembles scrambled egg when boiled. Jamaicans sauté the boiled ackee with saltfish (salt-cured cod), onions, and tomatoes. Sometimes the dish is served atop bammy (deep-fried cassava cakes) with fried plantains. Planning: Jake’s, Treasure Beach, is renowned for ackee and saltfish and also offers cooking classes. Coo-Coo and Flying Fish, Barbados A polenta-like cornmeal and okra porridge, coo-coo pairs perfectly with flying fish, which is either steamed with lime juice, spices, and vegetables or fried and served with a spicy sauce. Planning: The Flying Fish restaurant overlooking St. Lawrence Bay claims to be the Barbadian national dish’s home. Bulgogi, Korea Beef bulgogi (fire meat) is a dish of thinly sliced, prime cuts of meat marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, onions, ginger, sugar, and wine and then grilled. It is often eaten wrapped in lettuce or spinach leaves and accompanied by kimchi (fermented vegetable pickle). Many Korean restaurants have miniature barbecues embedded in tables where diners grill the meat themselves. Planning: Seoul’s upmarket Byeokje Galbi chain is a bulgogi sensation. Kibbeh, Lebanon/Syria Dining well Levantine-style often means sticking to the delicious mezes (appetizers). Kibbeh, a versatile confection of ground lamb, bulgur, and seasonings, is a core component of mezes. It is often fried in torpedo or patty shapes, baked, boiled, or stuffed, but is tastiest raw. Planning: Aleppans in northern Syria are kibbeh’s greatest innovators, flavoring it with ingredients like pomegranate or cherry juice.] {{cite web}}: Check |url= value (help); Missing or empty |title= (help)
