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!!!!!
