READING 1. Read the texts. Match the titles to the descriptions of national food. One title is extra. Complete the table below. Titles: 1. FOOD AS A WEAPON; 2. SPICES AND HERBS MAKE THE DISH; 3. FOR MEAT LOVERS; 4. MANDI AS A WAY OF COOKING MEAT; 5. A PINCH OF PEPPER; 6. MULTINATIONAL DISH. Texts: A. Beef bulgogi is a dish of thinly sliced 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. Many Korean restaurants have miniature barbecues embedded in tables where diners grill the meat themselves. B. Chef David Kamen demonstrates a recipe for Doro Wett (chicken stew). This classic dish, popular in both Ethiopian homes and restaurants, is full of the spices that give Ethiopian cooking its characteristic rich flavour. In fact, spices are so important to Ethiopian cuisine and culture that a common insult in Ethiopia is “Ya wen alecha,” which means a person “has no pepper.” C. Lumpia is Filipino spring rolls that are popular both in their native country and in Filipino communities around the world. Lumpia can be served as an appetiser, a snack, or a light meal with rice alongside. There is even a movie called Lumpia, made by a Filipino-American director. D. Nasi Goreng is a mixture of rice, chicken, shrimp, and seasonings. This dish demonstrates the complex heritage of the Indonesian islands, which have been colonized by many different countries. Rice, the main ingredient, was introduced by sailors from India. The technique of stir-frying came from the Chinese, who explored the islands in the fourth century. Chiles were brought by the Portuguese and the accompaniment of hard-boiled eggs is a legacy of Dutch traders. E. Nasi lemak is a Malay word that literally means “fatty rice”. The name comes from the cooking process whereby rice is soaked in coconut cream and then the mixture is steamed. Spices such as ginger and herbs like lemon grass may be added for additional fragrance. Traditionally, this comes wrapped in banana leaf, with cucumber slices, small dried anchovies, roasted peanuts, hard-boiled egg and hot spicy sauce.
