Peri Peri Chicken Livers

 

PERI PERI CHICKEN LIVERS

Multiculturalism has become a way of life now a days and there is no denying fact that the idea of multiculturalism is very much associated with taste as well.To me,the word "Multiculturalism" means the people in the world,from different parts,from different countries,from various and distinctive cultures individually or collectively appreciating other culture,so that no one looks down or looks upon other culture as being lower or higher.To be precise,Multiculturalism refers to different people belonging to different countries and communities living in harmony.This applies to taste also.In a nutshell,Multiculturalism in taste can be seen in the way one appreciates another's taste.

I live in a muticultural society in Malaysia and trust me,living in a multicultural society is a great experience in itself and has a many advantages.You get an ample scope to learn about other cultures,traditions,beliefs,life styles and not to forget their cuisines.I have come across many people from different cultural backgrounds and learnt a lot from them.For a big foodie like me,Living in a multicultural society is not less than a blessing and when it comes to food,I believe in experimenting with new and unique cuisines.As Andrew Zimmern says "If it looks good,eat it",I believe in trying anything and everything that is tempting and suits my tastebuds.As I am taking about Multicultural taste ,let me share with you a unique African Dish called PERI PERI CHICKEN LIVERS.Hope you enjoy it!!!!!
