Guacamole

Guacamole

Guacamole

Guacamole is an avocado-based relish or dip.

The origin is Aztec and is a vitamin and fat high content.

The name Guacamole comes from Mexican Spanish.

Ingredients

Salt

Tomatoes

Lime juice

Onion

Chili pepper

Garlic

Cumin

Black pepper

Cilantro

Dairy

Sour cream or milk.

Preparation

Bowl of Guacamole, freshly made with tomatoes, red onions, lime and cilantro

Guacamole is still prepared using malachite to mash the ingredients.

Guacamole does not store well due to the avocado content, and will turn brown even if stored just overnight. A common misconception is that putting the avocado pits into the guacamole during storage will prevent this browning. This has no basis in fact. Once the avocado fruit has been cut and the contents mashed, an enzyme released from inside the cells of the avocado flesh starts causing the pulp to turn brown in the presence of oxygen.

French cuisine,

Hey, I go to speak first about the structure of meals in France.


Breakfast

Le petit déjeuner (breakfast) is often a quick meal consisting of crossiants, butter and jam, eggs or ham along with coffee or tea. Children often drink hot chocolate along with their breakfast. Breakfast of some kind is always served in cafés opening early in the day.

Cafés often offer Croissants for breakfast.

Lunch

Le déjeuner (lunch) was once a two hour mid-day meal but has recently seen a trend toward the one hour lunch break. In some smaller towns the two hour lunch may still be customary. Sunday lunches are often longer and are taken with the family. Restaurants normally open for lunch at 12:00pm and close at 2:30pm. Many restaurants close on Saturday and Monday during lunch. In large cities a majority of working people and students eat their lunch at a corporate or school cafeteria, which normally serve complete meals as described above; it is therefore not usual for students to bring their own lunch food. It is common for white-collar workers to be given lunch vouchers as part of their employee benefits. These can be used in most restaurants, supermarkets and traiteurs; however workers having lunch in this way typically do not eat all three dishes of a traditional lunch due to price and time considerations. In smaller cities and towns, some working people leave their workplaces to return home for lunch, generating four rush hours during the day. Finally, an also popular alternative especially among blue-collar workers is to lunch on a sandwish possibly followed with a dessert; both dishes can be found ready-made at bakeries and supermarkets for budget prices. The common folk often has meat and vegetables, and for dessert they have fruits and cake.

Dinner

Le dîner (dinner) often consists of three courses, hors d'oeuvre or entrée (introductory course often soup), plat principal (main course), and a cheese course or dessert, sometimes with a salad offered before the cheese or dessert. Yogurt may replace the cheese course, while a normal everyday dessert would be fresh fruit. The meal is often accompanied by bread, wine and mineral water. Wine consumption has been dropping recently in young people. Fruit juice consumption has risen from 25.6% in 1996 to 31.6% in 2002. Main meat courses are often served with vegetables along with rice or pasta. Restaurants often open at 7:30pm for dinner and stop taking orders between the hours of 10:00pm and 11:00pm. Many restaurants close for dinner on Sundays.



Drink

Traditionally, France has been a culture of wine consumption. While this characteristic has lessened with time, even today, many French people drink wine daily. The consumption of low-quality wines during meals has been greatly reduced. Beer is especially popular with the young. Other popular alcoholic drinks include pastis, an anissed flavoured beverage drunk diluted with cold water, or cider.
The legal alcohol purchase age is 16. Usually, parents tend to prohibit their children from consuming alcohol before these children reach their early teens. Students and young adults are known to drink heavily during parties, but usually drunkenness is not displayed in public. Public consumption of alcohol is legal, but driving under the influence can result in severe penalties.

The origin of macaroni



It was Marco Polo who brought the macaroni in China. But the Italians, probably dissatisfied with the fact that the most popular dish in your kitchen have Chinese origin, eventually discovering that in the will of the military Geneve, Punzio Bastone, recorded by tabelião Ugolino Scarpa, on February 2, 1279, 13 years before the arrival of Marco Polo, had, of inheritance, a box of "macarrones", or dry mass. The Americans, however, go further. Guarantee that before the founding of Rome, the pasta was already known.
The Italians were the largest consumers of macaroni and broadcasters around the world. Both that invented more than 500 varieties of types and formats. At the time the Italians incorporated the macaroni noble one ingredient: a grain of wheat flour, which allows the cooking correct.



The macaroni had reached Venice in 1295 by the hands of Marco Polo, where he spent 17 years in China and would have known the macaroni. In his luggage, among other innovations, came a recipe for a dish made with a flour extracted from the bush saga that after cooked, it was cut and dry.
Meanwhile in Italy, in 1279, thus before the return of Marco Polo, was recorded, among other things, that the inventory of Ponzio Bastione left the family, a "basket of pasta".
The word used in the inventory was macaronis, which would be derived from the verb maccari, a dialect of Secília old, which means achatar that, in turn, comes from the Greek makar, which means sacred. The word macaroni was used in the Middle Ages to indicate different types of pasta. The latest version accepted by historians This release refers to the Arabs, who would be the parents of macaroni, leading it to Sicily in the IX century, when conquered the largest Italian island.

Italian Food - Pizza and Spaghetti


Pizza and Spaghetti are very popular in Italy and in all the world, but they eat others things, too. In this post I will tell about pizza and spaghetti. The spaghetti is very delicious and it is a long, thin form of pasta. It is versatile, popular, and available throughout the Western world. Spaghetti is the plural form of the Italian word spaghetto, which is a diminutive of spago, meaning "thin string" or "twine". The word spaghetti can be literally translated as "little strings." And the pizza is the name of an oven-baked, flat, usually round bread that is usually covered with tomatoes or a tomato-based sauce and often mozzarella cheese, with other toppings added according to region, culture or personal preference. While originating as a part of Neapolitan cuisine, the dish has become popular in many different parts of the world. A shop or restaurant where pizzas are made and sold is called a "pizzeria".The phrase "pizza parlor" is also used in the United States.



Thailand Food



I will talk about Thai food, that food is a very good, very appetizing and its country is well known for its history.


There are two things in Thailand that will impress any visitor to the kingdom, the first is the kindness and hospitality of the Thais and the second is the exotic food that Thailand is famous for. Visitors to the country quickly grow fond of popular Thai food dishes and on returning home, start longing for the taste and flavour of the delicious food.

One of the greatest joys of Thailand, is the superb cuisine. Abundant and, combined with a growing number of European and Asian restaurants, the choice is immense. It is easy to eat sumptuously for little more than 200 Baht per person.The Traditional way to eat Thai food is to share several different dishes at same time, enabling each dinner to discover as many different flavors as possible. One spoonful of one dish at a time, ladled onto a plate of steaming fragrant rice (Khao Plow), helps to keep the flavors distinct, while a sip of Chinese tea (Cha Jin) in between mouthfuls helps to prepare the taste buds for the next exhilarating experience.


Thai people are used to eating rice with their meal. Most Thai people can't have sandwiches for their meal. They call sandwiches a snack. Also, most Thai people do not sit down to eat a proper meal because they usually eat when they are hungry, especially kids and teenagers.



Japanese Food - Sushi


The most popular plate in Japan is the "sushi". They use a special rice, fish (cooked or uncooked) and vegetables. The sushi is popular in all the world. In Recife has a Japanese Restaurant, the name is Quina do Futuro, it's localized in Futuro's Street, in Aflitos. Have many types of sushi - nigiri-zushi; maki-zushi; oshizushi; chirashizushi; narezushi; temarizushi, etc. In Japan they eat on the floor, on a small table, but they have a custom of eat in family. The basic idea behind the preparation of sushi, is the practice of preserving fish with salt and fermenting with rice, a process that can probably be traced back to seafood-preserving methods used in China and South-East Asia, where countries have a long history of rice cultivation.
