Ethnic food, often called world food, is one of the most exciting growth areas, particularly in sales to affluent western consumers. But the definition of ethnic food varies according to where and who you are. Defining ethnic food is difficult. "Ethnic foods represent a complex, dynamic category," according to the National Restaurant Association, "In a multi-cultural society like the U.S., one tends to perceive more and more cuisines as ethnic." Also, over time, items that used to be distinctly ethnic, like tacos and pizza, have become part of the mainstream American diet. While an exact definition of ethnic food may be difficult, three trends are clearly emerging. First, traditionally popular ethnic foods such as Mexican, Italian and Chinese are becoming more sophisticated through the use of regional-type cooking and ingredients. Second, new ethnic cuisines, such as Indian, Moroccan and Thai cuisines, are experiencing "hot" growth because they are rich in aromas and have strong taste profiles that are unique and varied. Third, ethnic fusion foods, which combine the flavors of different regions and cultures, are growing in popularity because they satisfy the American demand for variety and taste. Within this area of ethnic fusion cuisine several further trends have been developing. First, traditional fusion cuisines, such as Creole or Southern cooking, have been becoming more complex and diverse. Second, traditional fusion cuisines are being joined by newly popular ones such as Mediterranean and Caribbean foods. Third, as the popularity of fusion and regional ethnic flavors grows, new complex flavors will emerge. Ingredients or cooking styles of various ethnic groups will be combined to provide a unique flavor or dish, thus creating newer versions of mainstream products such as pizzas, salsas, pastas, stir fries or fried chicken. We may see a Thai lasagna, Mexican pizza, Japanese enchilada or Cajun dumpling. More complex growth of these fusion flavors will continue into the 21st century. Americans will be eating ethnic foods that will have more sophisticated ethnic flavor profiles than previous generations. We will see unique combination flavors such as Java enetia, CreoMex or CubanThai. We also will see new regional cooking, based on the various ethnic populations living in each region of the United States. |

How many ethnic groups on I can't think of a single
country other than Nazi
Germany; it had the same
concept. Citizenship involved
being at least one-fourth
ethnic German; all citizens
not ethnically German were
denaturalized and any ethnic
German from around the world
had a "right" to go to Germany
and claim his alleged
citizenship. Same exact
set-up. Why do jews think they
are entitled to an exclusively
"jewish" state? Why don't
other ethnic groups? What
other countries regard
national identity and ethnic
identity as one and the same?

Germans for a period of twelve years before the middle of the last century. There is a difference between a modern state which has no linkage between ethnicity and citizenship and a Tribal State which is based on ethnicity. Israel,so-called,is the only Tribal State on earth. As to that Sabre comment or answer or whatever it was supposed to be,Iran is not an ethnic state,nor is Saudi Arabia. They do discriminate in terms of religion,but not ethnicity. Muslims from around the world are welcome in both countries. You do not have to be an ethnic Persion in the one case or an ethnic Arab in the other. I gather some people don't know the difference between ethnicity and religion. Most Jews are atheists; they don't have any religion. Israel was founded by atheists. It has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with the zionist conception of jews as an ethnicity. |

What ethnic foods are I have a class project in
which I have to make 30-ish
samples of a traditional dish
from any ethnicity, and need
to prove to my partner and my
teacher that we can make
something vegan. The point of
the project is to make
something as it is made
traditionally, but all of the
ethnic dishes I can prepare
have to be altered to become
vegan!
Thus, any suggestions?
Preferably something cheap and
with a recipe!

Traditionally Chinese, Vietnamese, Ethiopian, and Jamaican have the most vegan cuisine options because they all have religious groups (Buddhists, Orthodox Christians, Rastafarian) who abstain from all animal foods during fasting periods. Vegan Thai and Indian can be very easy to make but restaurants use fish sauce and ghee (butter) respectively in nearly all the dishes so you have to specify when you order. Spring Rolls would be a fun idea for a large group or some kind of dumpling. Here are some recipes http://blog.vegcooking.com/200 8/05/bok_choytofu_spring_rolls .php http://eatair.blogspot.com/200 6/03/spring-rolls.html http://vegandad.blogspot.com/2 008/05/chili-garlic-tempeh-spr ing-rolls.html http://vegandad.blogspot.com/2 009/01/chinese-dumplings.html |
