Manipur/Manipuri
Manipur is a state in northeastern India, with the city of Imphal as its capital. Its people include the Meitei, Pangal (Muslims), Naga, and Kuki, Zomi and Gorkhali(Nepali) who speak different languages of branches of the Tibeto-Burman family. The MEITEI who live primarily in the state's valley region, form the primary ethnic group. The term Meitei now refers to five social groups – the Meitei marup (believe in only Meitei culture and God), Meitei Christians, Meitei goura Chaytonya (believe in both Meitei and Hindu gods), the Meitei Brahmins (Manipuri Brahmin locally called "Bamons") and the Meitei Muslims (called Miah Meitei or Pangal). All of them have Meiteilon as their mother-tongue. Their language, Meiteilon (also known as Manipuri), is the language in the state.

MANIPURI CUISINE
When we think of Manipuri food, the first things that come to our mind are ngari, eromba chamfoot, morok and the various herbs. Most Manipuri food is hot and rich U-morok which is also the same with Naga Mirch (or Raja Mirch) may not be as famous, but the highest number of this Chilli is planted and consumed in Manipur. Manipuris eat a lot of greens thereby gaining lots of vitamins. Most household in Manipur has a kitchen garden, so pesticides are not used and vegetables are healthy fresh. Growing and plucking the vegetables from one's own garden gives an unrivaled excitement. There are more than 200 varieties of Manipuri dishes. As the food is a combination of both spicy and boiled, the nutritional value content in the Manipuri cuisine gives you a healthy body. Some of the non-vegetarian food which is considered to be vegetarian dish in Manipuri cuisine is fish and an edible fresh water snail called Tharoi in the local lingo. There are three main types of Tharoi which is eaten in Manipur - Lai Tharoi, Labuk Tharoi and Tharoi Ningkhabi.

    When I think Caribbean, I think pirates and food. The idea of pirates is the result of watching too many Disney films, but the thought of food comes from all of the influences from the Caribbean that have become popular in many restaurants. Through my experiences with food culture I have developed the idea of the Caribbean being a very tropical place. My recent move to Miami has brought me closer to the Caribbean, physically and socially. In class I have made friends with people from the Caribbean, and at working in kitchens as well. One culture in particular that seems to heavily influence local food is Haiti. I had the experience of working with a chef that is from Haiti, and he has a big culinary knowledge. Through recent research I have discover the island of Haiti and its history, the foods that grow in its tropical climate, and the dishes that have been developed from influences all around the world.…

    Immigration has been a major source of population growth and cultural change throughout much of United States history. The economic, social, and political aspects of immigration have caused debate regarding ethnicity, economic benefits, and jobs for non-immigrants, settlement patterns, impact on upward social mobility, crime, and voting behavior.

    Pakistani Food

    As I exited the car, I could smell the fragrant chicken being cooked on barbeque like pits. I could see the smoke rise up into the sky. As we arrived to our seat, I thought to myself, 'This place looks ghetto!' Yes, the food smelt good, but being outside and eating on dirty tables, which stood on top of dirt, didn't help my appetite. This made me sort of nervous about my first meal out in Pakistan. All this time, I remembered my cousin telling me to watch out because I was a foreigner and my stomach would take time to adjust to the different style of food. The waiter finally came around holding 6 glasses of water in one hand; it was truly a site to see. I noticed when he came that he didn't bring a menu. My uncle asked him what was on the menu, immediately; he started reciting the whole menu. I was surprised. This was sort of unorthodox, but I went along and questioned him about the food with my excellent ability to speak Urdu (the common language in Pakistan). Well my uncle asked around to what each of us wanted. I finally decided on the Chicken Tikka, Seekh Kabob, and taking my uncles suggestion I tried Kata Kat. I could see flies swarming above me as I sat and waited for everyone to finish their order. Me and my cousin decided to walk around and see how they cooked the food.…
