I love reading about
new places and the culture of the people, you could say I’m a world traveler in
my head. Jamaica’s culture has been impacted by the many the nationalities that
have settled here and so naturally I have been exposed to their culture
indirectly. However, this is not enough and with this in mind I’d like to share
with you a wish list of the first five of ten countries I would like to visit and the meals I would like to try.
South Korea
Seolleongtang
– is a broth
soup made from ox bones (mostly leg bones), brisket and
other cuts. Seasoning is generally done at the table according to personal
taste by adding salt, ground black pepper, red pepper, minced garlic,
or chopped spring onions. Seolleongtang is typically simmered over a low
flame over a period of several hours to an entire day, to allow the flavor to
be gradually extracted from the bones. It has a milky off-white, cloudy
appearance and is normally eaten together with rice and
several side dishes; the rice is sometimes added directly to the soup.

Kimchi
- also spelled gimchi, kimchee, or kim chee, is a traditional fermented Korean dish made of vegetables with varied seasonings. There are hundreds of varieties of
kimchi made with a main vegetable ingredient such as napa cabbage, radish, escallion or cucumber. It is the most common side dish in Korean cuisine. Kimchi is also a main ingredient for many
popular Korean dishes such as kimchi stew, kimchi soup, and kimchi fried rice.

Russia
Chicken
Kiev
– This is a popular dish of boneless chicken breast
pounded and rolled around cold garlic butter with herbs, then breaded and
either fried or baked. It is said
to have originated in Ukraine, but it is popular in Russia. Similar to
Chicken cordon bleu, but with different filling, and it looks so yummy.

Italy
Canneloni
- are a cylindrical type
of pasta generally served baked with a filling and covered by a sauce. Some types of cannelloni need
to be boiled beforehand, for others it is enough to use runnier sauces/filling.
If one cannot find readymade cannelloni, rolling lasagna around
a filling is an alternative. The stuffing may include ricotta cheese, spinach and
various kinds of meat. The sauces typically
used are tomato or bechamel sauce.

Tiramisu - literally "pick me up", is an
Italian cake and dessert. It is made of ladyfingers (light
and sweet sponge cakes roughly shaped like a large finger)dipped
in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of egg yolks and mascarpone,(an Italian cheese
made from cream, coagulated with citric acid or acetic acid ) and
flavored with liquor and cocoa. The recipe has been adapted into many varieties
of puddings, cakes and other desserts.

Profiterole - or choux à la crème is a choux pastry ball filled with whipped cream, pastry cream,
or ice cream. The puffs may be decorated or left plain or
garnished with chocolate sauce, caramel,
or a dusting of powdered sugar. The term profiterole is traditionally used for small
versions filled with whipped ice cream and topped
with chocolate although the usage
varies and can include other fillings.
