Eat Planet. Discover the World. Saturday, October 31, 2009. Brazil - History and Culture. Brazilian cuisine speaks of its history and culture, a melting pot of people and foods that contrast but come together. The country has distinct regional cuisines, but its base and cooking heritage is most heavily influenced by three particular groups: the Brazilian natives, the conquering Portuguese and the African slaves who worked in the sugar cane fields. Our Brazilian meal was a mixture of all three. At the Caj...

Eat Planet. Discover the World. Monday, November 30, 2009. When we were living in Nigeria my mother described Chad as the most benighted hole of a nation on earth. Not nice, I know, but it was when Lagos was in a state of emergency because the water and electricity workers had gone on strike and my mother was fed up with all of West Africa. 6 medium fish (tilapia or perch). 2 garlic cloves, chopped. Salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Pierce the fish with a knife and place the garlic pieces inside. Dip ...

Eat Planet. Discover the World. Thursday, December 31, 2009. Dominican Republic - A winter destination. Actually comes from the word meringue, a dessert made from whipped egg whites and sugar. My only connection with the country is a memory I have of a friend’s mother. When I was five and six I was living in Lagos, Nigeria and my best friend was a little boy named Tico. His sister Desiree was also my friend and the three of us often played together. Their father was an American diplomat...A shrimp and ri...

Bahrain is a famous tourist destination – 3.5 million tourists visit Bahrain each year. Who knew? One of their main attractions is the Museum of Oil. You can’t tell me that’s not on your bucket list. To get. – like shoes. But really, it’s crazy to shop till you drop here in Canada before. While I was stirring my chicken mixture over the stove, Ju...

Eat Planet. Discover the World. Monday, September 20, 2010. United States - Texas Barbeque in China. But that was then, this is now. To get rich is glorious. Consumerism is rampant. You rarely see Mao suits. Women are dressed in short skirts and heels. There are fewer bicycles and more Mercedes sedans. There’s a widening gap between rich and poor. You even see illicit movies for sale. China resembles the United States more everyday. Links to this post. Tims Texas Barbeque Restaurant in Beijing. It was Am...

Eat Planet. Discover the World. Monday, August 31, 2009. Afghanistan - Kabul Express. My kids and I may not have discovered Afghanistan's hidden treasures but we did taste its cuisine today.

I can't just do any. Ethnic restaurant," I said. "I'm doing this in alphabetical order.". A short time later the w...

Eat Planet. Discover the World. Wednesday, April 28, 2010. Madagascar is a place that most children can point on the map thanks to the animated movie “Madagascar.” It’s an island in the Indian Ocean off the southeastern coast of Africa. The fourth largest island in the world is home to 5 % of the world’s plant and animal species and many are endemic to Madagascar (and look plain weird). Did you know that the country has seventy varieties of lemur? You can use any fresh vegetables and meat bones. Congo, D...
