This food is mostly made on holidays or on celebrations, for example yesterday I went to my dad's friend's naming ceremony, and they had moin-moin.

I love eating moin-moin on Christmas too, as well as New Years Eve, and New Years. Anyone from from my country will tell you that this is the food to eat if you want to enjoy yourself. You can eat it with rice or sauce.

A story goes with moin-moin. There was a man that loved fish. His birthday soon came and he wanted to make a cake for himself. SO HE DECIDED TO MAKE himself fish cake. Finally the cake was ready, but he forgot to add yeast, so the cake turned out all lumpy. He was about to throw it out, but he tasted it and it tasted it. He passed the news around and within a week the king got the food. The king ate a piece of the food and he loved it. He loved it so much that he declared it a national food. He called it moin-moin because it reminded him about his wife (who died).

Everybody in Nigeria loves this dish. But if you hate fish or beans this is not the food for you.

I think Haleem will come to cooking contest and won first place,even though it's not my favorite food.

You may think I'm crazy... I am; for this dish! When my mom bakes it I am very happy. She also makes it sometimes when company comes, or when we visit someone for some reason. My mom makes it when we ask her to make it; sometimes she's happy to make it and then I help her too.

I remember the first time I tried it. At first I didn't want to try it, but my dad kept on saying, "Please try it!" Then he said, "It's not like it's going to hurt if you try it." After that he convinced me so I tried it. From that day on I have always liked tembleque.

Then I kept asking my mother, "Can you make some tembleque?'" She kept saying she didn't have time. Then one day we were at the supermarket and I asked her if she could buy the ingredients to make it. She said, "Yes." The next day my mom and I made the tembleque. I had to stir it for a long time until it was thick. Then mom put it in a bowl and put it in the fridge. I couldn't wait to try it. The next day when I tried it, it tasted just like grandma's. It was so good!

My dad says when he was little he use to eat it a lot. His mother made for him all the time. As he had a big family my grandma had to make it often. My mother also likes tembleque. She ate a lot too. Almost everyone in my family likes tembleque; it's really good!

My favorite thing that represents my culture is Abichuelas Con Dulce. It tastes awesome. We eat it on Ash Wednesday. It's sweet and creamy. Abichuela means beans, and dulce can mean either candy or sweet. Con means with. It has been my favorite ever since I was a little girl. It is my favorite because it's really sweet and I love sweets.

My mom is always trying to teach me how to make it, but I've seen her and it takes a long,long time. I always say my head hurts or something. I like cooking but only when i'm inspired. I hate it when someone wants to make me do something.

Whenever my mom has a cold, everything tastes bad to her so she tells me to taste it for her. I'm always the first one to taste the food she makes. She doesn't only make Abichuela Con Dulce on Ash Wednesday, she also makes it on other special occasions, and when she feels like it, and when I convince her.

I love Abichuela Con Dulce because it represents a holiday in my culture and it's a great dessert. My country isn't the only one that eats it. Puerto Rico and other spanish countries also eat it.

I remember one time I did help her make it or at least I tried to. It was one of the best days of my life. She made me help her. At first I was bored but then it got fun. She asked me to fill a pot with water. It was really heavy and I fell and poured all the water on her and on the floor. She thought I did it on purpose so she took a glass of water and threw it on me. I threw water back at her and before we knew it we were in water fight. When we finally finished clowning around, the kitchen was a mess and we were soaking wet. We both laughed. We hadn't even started cooking. That day was so much fun.

In conclusion, my favorite food that represents my country is Abichuela Con Dulce. I like it because they're sweet and delicious. I have many memories of Abichuela Con Dulce and I have many other favorite foods but this is my most favorite of all.

The people believed it, so they went to church to pray and sing. It was a happy day for them. Corn became more and more popular in Mexico: it was sold, bought and grown. People earned money. But they said that only people who were born in Mexico should eat the corn of tortillas; if they did not eat the corn of tortilla they could die. (But I don't believe it).

My father gets mad if we throw the tortilla in the garbage. People were poor because there was a war and they took all the gold and silver. My father said that my grandfather was in the war. I'm lucky I wasn't born in Mexico because I would be eating tortilla all the time, which I wouldn't like.

I always look forward to the dumplings on Chinese New Year. I should be happy because it comes every year. I can't wait that long. But at least it comes. Chinese New Year last for sixteen days. We invite our cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends. Kids get money in red envelopes. The adults eat in the dining room and the kids get to eat wherever they want to eat. The only time I had dumplings was on December 8, 2001. It was fun.

Usually, every Christmas time we eat that dish, that's why I love going
to see my grandma every year for Christmas. Every year I tell her that
she can change every thing except for the Pastillios. A special memory that I have is that when my grandfather was alive, he loved Pastillios just like me. So every Christmas, it reminds me of him.

I like Pastellios because I can make it myself. All you really have to do is get a pack of puff pastry disc and put your seasoned meat in side on one half, then fold the other side. Then you pinch the edges with a fork. Then once that's done fry them in any cooking oil.

My family likes macaroni because it is from our culture. I am from Albania. We sit as a family and we talk about things and we eat. I like macaroni because it tastes good.

Thomas Jefferson is credited with bringing the first 'macaroni' machine from France to America in 1789. (Thomas Jefferson is the third President of the United States during 1801-1809)

This recipe is so, so, delicious. If you don't want to have it with potatoes, we sometimes have it on top of boiled wide noodles with lots of gravy. Hmm, Hmm, good!!!!!

I never knew my great grandmother because she died before I was born. In my religion, Jewish people named their newborn children after the dead. My mother named me Terry after my great grandmother. My mom loved my great grandmother so much.

Since my great grandmother was born in America, all the recipes from Hungary were passed down to her mother, so the recipe of Hungarian Goulash that I am writing about is one of those recipes that were passed down.

World shrimp production is over 5 billion pounds a year, about 20 % of which is from shirmp farms.

A dessert that I eat that could be considered Dominican food would be flan. This food is to die for! It has a sweet milky taste. I think that without these foods my life would be different because I wouldn't have something I really like asked to be made anymore!

This food is eaten on weddings, parties, holidays, and any time of the day you want it just cook it. In my house there hasn't been one occasion that I didn't eat this food. The reason my mom makes it the best is because she puts hard work into it. The only way you can make it the best is by putting hard work into it. The harder you work the better it will taste. You can get it in any Pakistani restaurant. Some restaurants you can get it in are Shaheen, King kabob, and student biryani restaurant. It represents my culture cause it is a really religious food for me. Now you know why it represents my culture and where you can find it. When you read this essay you probably got an image of rise you have hardly seen. You see a plate full of rice with layers of steam coming out of it. Yum can't wait to eat it can't you

Bombay Biryani is my favorite food in the whole world that comes from my culture. It tastes very good and my mom makes it the best. With a special way of cooking you put meat and rice than add spices and then you can't help but eating it.

Mix all the ingredients together at least 3 times. Cook it in the oven for at least 20 minutes. Now you're set. Enjoy!

Our religion is very important to us. It is so spiritual that it could change you. I respect my religion and the major Holidays that comes at the time of the Holy month. Our Holy month is Ramadan, which is in November. Then Eid, which allows us to enjoy the feast of richness and poorness. On this occasion we use a lot of different kinds of cultural things, like food and clothes. It is used to make us think about things that we have done wrong and the things that we have not done. This is the pride of our culture and our religion; to be peaceful and to have a good life.
