Mayi Mulen Research Paper
I'm from a Haitian background and while there are many foods indigenous to Haiti that I eat daily the dish I remember most from my childhood is Mayi Moulen. The recipe for Mayi Moulen has been passed down from family member to family member, and now I am learning how to make it.
Mayi Moulen is a simple dish to make, and that's part of the reason I love it. If I had to equate Mayi Moulen to an American dish, I would say it's like porridge. Mayi Moulen is made of cornmeal with a mixture of different ingredients. There are different ways to make Mayi Moulen depending on your preference. Despite the variety of ways to cook Mayi Moulen it will always include garlic, cornmeal, and salt. To make Mayi Moulen, you bring a pot of water to a boil

My grandmother cooked Mayi Moulen when she didn't want to put together a big meal, and I continue the tradition. Haitian food sometimes takes days of preparation, and hours to cook so something quick to eat is always welcome. Mayi Moulen is not an everyday dish that's why even though it's simple it's also a treat.
The recipe for Mayi Moulen has not changed much from the time of its conception. It isn't much you can do to add pizzazz to Mayi Moulen, which is why I believe the recipe has not been updated throughout the years. Unlike my ancestors, I don't eat Mayi Moulen because a lack of funds or crops I eat it because I enjoy the taste. You won't find Mayi Moulen on a restaurant menu unless the restaurant specializes in Caribbean dishes, which may explain why Mayi Moulen has not gone mainstream.
Literature written in the past may not hold the same weight or importance now. For example, literary works considered controversial are now mundane. This change in the importance of literary works is like how a recipe essential to the survival of a country can become a casual meal over time. When people and countries evolve, recipes and literature are forced to evolve and as

    Cajun cuisine is a fusion of food from different regions with very rich histories, such as France, Canada, and the southern U.S. It was originated by peasants of French ancestry. These immigrants settled in the "Acadian" region of the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia from 1604 to 1654. By 1755, the population of these settlers had grown to about 15,000. They survived on cereal crops such as wheat, barley and oats, and garden vegetables including field peas, cabbage, and turnips. This diet was supplemented by domestic livestock, wild game, and fish.

    I belong to Tujia, one of the Chinese minorities. Mung rice noodle has been produced by Tujia people, and most of us are used to make it our breakfasts. Simply, from the name, it comes from the marriage of mung and rice. However, Tujia people are used to add soybeans into the mixture of mung and rice. To be honest, I have never made it by myself, instead, I saw my grandmother made it when I was in the primary school. Firstly, my grandmother soaked the soybean, mung and rice in the water one day before using them. After one day, she grinded them into slurry by the millstone. Then, she brushed little colza oil in the iron pan and circled the slurry evenly in the pan. That was my first time knowing how to make Mung rice noodle and I can still remember that the fresh smell of it jumped out just in one second. After it was done, my grandma put it in the hot water and added ginger, scallion, garlic, peper, chilli oil and meat sauce. She smiled at me: “babe, you gonna finish it!” After eating it up, I understood why my grandma was so confident that I could finish it at the beginning.…
