What is Ethnic?

Babette Deloe: You definitely need a steamer to steam dhokla. I have a singh coworker who brought dhokla to work with green chutney (like salsa without tomatoes but mint, cilantro, onions, lemon juice, sugar to taste, ginger juice) She used an aluminium double boiler/steamer. The bottom pan (boiler) which you filled with hot water and the second pan above the boiler is a steamer pan with holes for the steam to cook the dish and with a cover to trap the steam from escaping. To really make sure the steam does not escape, she even put a moist towels around the edges of the cover *...Show more

Elsie Resner: ethnic food pretty much is any food not prepared by and for white europeans or americans.

Mark Hovanes: My friend who runs an Indian/Pakistani restaurant here in Toronto Canada, uses a Thai multi-level steamer as he also makes Sri Lankan, Ildi and Piatu.Chutney wise, either a coriander and Chili, Mint and Coconut, I like sweet Tamarind ones or spicy Sambal type! s.

Frances Macky: No it is not healthy to ear prok tenderloin sandwiches everyday. Pork is not healthy for you

Caterina Yeargan: Ethnic according to definition is...."of or relating to people grouped according to a common racial, national, tribal, religious, linguistic, or cultural origin." It seems Americans coined the term to refer to certain foods mainly consumed by a paticular group of people of a region, area, or country. Lately the word is over used, I think. Basically it describes a paticular dish or food mainly consumed by one cultu! re(the word is becomming a moot point in describing food since! we are losing our individuality in tasts and tend to eat a large selection of ethnic foods...a good thing)...jj...Show more

Annabell Bevier: So, can I use just a standard double boiler? Don't have to drive an hour to buy some special combo thingy majig?

Floyd Labuda: Hey, that's a great question. I had to think about that. I think that Americans tend to deem food from other countries as "ethnic" if they are cultures that don't have a big presence here necessarily. I mean I don't hear anyone referring to Mexican food as ethnic, yet if it's Peruvian it's "ethnic." And, it seems to be only 3rd world countries' foods that we consider to be "ethnic."We don't consider our own food "ethnic" but I wonder if a hamburger or hot dog would be called "ethnic" in other countries? I doubt it......Show more

Toya Braskett: they could be ethic food can be Islamic and Jewish Halal foods permissible foods to consume by a typical group!

Carolynn Testani: Ethnic foo! ds are foods pertaining to a certain ethnicity. American food isn't called ethnic because american is a nationality not an ethnicity and because mcdonalds has made it popular all over the world. I have heard german food refered to as ethnic food though. And the french thing is probably because a lot of the food has been absorbed into american cuisine as fancy food or something. It could be called ethnic though

Toshiko Reimers: That's all I want to do. And with Mustard, French Fries and Cole Slaw. There is a restaurant near my school with a big revolving Hamburger on top of it, called Happy Days.

Gilberto Cratin: OK, Here's the definition.***Ethnic:From WiktionaryEnglishAdjectiveethnic (ethnical)Of or related to a group of people having common racial, national, religious, or cultural origins Incompletely assimiliated There are many ethnic Indonesians in the Netherlands Belonging to a foreign culture I like to eat ethnic food As to why say french french cooking is! nt considered ethnic cooking I think it is because it is a dominate cui! sine. I have heard of Italian Fare refered to as ethnic especially when refering to Italian -American food because so many dishes have been created by them ( do to unadvailablity of produce or a switch do to poverty in eating habits) that are not served in the old country.As for american foods, what most consider american fare is fast food, like the hamburg which is really doublely german for both the sandwich and the hamburg named after the city. The true american foods we owe to the native american for maize (corn),maple syrup, tomatoes, turkey, cranberries.....The last reason is also stated in the definition (ETHNIC) refers to a group of people with a single identity or culture. America is the great melting pot of people, their cultures and the foods they love!!!!!!...Show more

Randal Deyarmond: I am an American who lives in the South and my food is considered 'ethnic'. The term 'ethnic food' must have been coined by mainstream America and Europe.Funny that I'm a ! white American descended from the French and Irish and am considered ethnic.

Brittanie Zakutney: the largest consumed ethinic food in the US is italian. French would be ethnic as well because I'm not from france.

Shan Lanen: Even some police go around refering to "ethnics" and daft they sound.It can refer to any group of people who share a culture, especially if they have shared it together for a long time.EVERYBODY IS ETHNIC!!! EEEEVEN WHITE ONES>

Jerrod Guilfoil: skip the fries every other day, and eat two cole slaws. The pork loin is fine.

Nia Monopoli: Your state laws apply to all ebay sales. If you would need a license to sell homemade spice pastes in your home state, you need one to legally sell them on ebay.

Claude Gloden: yeah!

Amina Motzer: It may depend on your state. In my state, the Dept. of Agriculture has to inspect and license anyone who makes and sells human or pet food, regardless of where it's sold. If your state ! requires you to be licensed, eBay requires you to be licensed.eBay's fo! od policy is fairly restrictive, requiring the food to be sealed, to have a printed expiration date and not be expired, and to have a list of ingredients, among other things. http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/food.html...Show more

Shon Almquist: I've had this once before and I really loved it. I don't remember much about the chutney's. I know one (white) had coconut. The other was green and I can't remember anything else about it; taste, texture; only that it was green.

Tracy Huesso: Anything different than you would eat normally.

An Trebil: No, you probably get your entire daily calorie and fat allowance with that one meal, but you can't beat a good tenderloin and fries.
