As a Hong Kong\u252c\u00e1citizen, the cuisine which represents me is the Hong Kong Cantonese variety.<br \/>\nCantonese cuisine is well regarded for using delicate seasonings to bring together the<br \/>\noriginal taste of the ingredients. As a coastal region, Canton has the perfect geographical<br \/>\nlocation for fishing. Therefore, there is always an abundance of seafood which is mostly<br \/>\nboiled or freshly steamed. In Hong Kong, the hybrid of western and eastern cuisines can be<br \/>\nfound everywhere. As a port well known for its spices, &#8220;The Typhoon Shelter&#8221; crab was<br \/>\nconcocted with the spices and crabs freshly caught out of the sea. New types of Dim Sum<br \/>\n(bite-sized food served in steamers or small plates) such as fruit salad spring rolls or egg<br \/>\ntarts can be found in most Dim Sum houses.<br \/>\nCantonese cuisine plays major a part in my life, it is common to go Yum Cha (Directly<br \/>\ntranslated as &#8220;drinking tea&#8221;, with a better translation being the drinking chinese tea alongside Dim Sum) in the morning with your family, reflecting the traditional Chinese family core values. Also, Hong Kong&#8217;s cuisine can be traced back to its varied historical background;<br \/>\nHong Kong has been one of the main Chinese ports since 1684, and grown up alongside<br \/>\nand experienced much of China&#8217;s tumultuous history. The influence of western food started<br \/>\nto affect the traditional eastern cuisine when Hong Kong was colonised (from 1841 to 1997).<br \/>\nAlthough my national identity is built up by many other things, food definitely plays a major<br \/>\npart of it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>England<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Sunday_roast_-_roast_beef_1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-17093\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Sunday_roast_-_roast_beef_1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Sunday_roast_-_roast_beef_1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Sunday_roast_-_roast_beef_1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Sunday_roast_-_roast_beef_1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Sunday_roast_-_roast_beef_1-74x55.jpg 74w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Sunday_roast_-_roast_beef_1-111x83.jpg 111w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Sunday_roast_-_roast_beef_1-215x161.jpg 215w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>By Sarah Belger<\/p>\n<p>A home cooked Sunday roast with all the trimmings, fish and chips by the beach, a pint and a\u252c\u00e1grab-bag of ready salted Walkers with your mates down your local. In the UK we associate<br \/>\nso many periods of our lives with certain foods, from somewhat questionable school dinners<br \/>\nto your fancy graduation meal. These are memories which bring us all together, helping to shape\u252c\u00e1who we are as a nation. Remember when a certain someone banned turkey<br \/>\ntwizzlers? I think the outrage that followed can be seen as nothing less than true national<br \/>\ncomradery. We, as Brits, don&#8217;t always like to take ourselves too seriously but as soon as<br \/>\nsomeone tries to tell us how gross they think a fry-up is, it can seem as if they&#8217;ve tried to<br \/>\npersonally insult everything we stand for. Would it be a true British Christmas without<br \/>\nenough roast potatoes to cure world hunger? Or without a leftover-roast-dinner-sandwich on<br \/>\nBoxing Day? The food we eat is so central to so many of our traditions that I&#8217;m struggling to<br \/>\nthink of a major holiday where food isn&#8217;t one of the main focus points. It&#8217;s how we socialise,<br \/>\nreunite with friends and family and, sometimes, the only reason we do so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/1024px-TapasenBarcelona.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17089 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/1024px-TapasenBarcelona-1024x712.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/1024px-TapasenBarcelona.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/1024px-TapasenBarcelona-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/1024px-TapasenBarcelona-768x534.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By Angharad May<\/p>\n<p>We all know about Spanish food; it&#8217;s just paella and tapas and sangria, right?<br \/>\nWrong.<br \/>\nWhat the majority of people fail to realise is that Spain is a country made up of seventeen<br \/>\nautonomous regions, each with its own regional identity subsequent different cuisines. The<br \/>\nfact that almost each region has a different climate means that the foods they consume can<br \/>\nvary greatly, from copious seafood on the coast to acorn-fed meat inland. (Disclaimer: I am<br \/>\nnot actually Spanish; however, I do study Spanish and Hispanic culture and have a healthy interest\u252c\u00e1in food and wine!).<br \/>\nNow, let&#8217;s start with paella. Non-Spaniards consider paella to be Spain&#8217;s national dish, but in reality, it is a regional Valencian dish. Valencians consider it to be one of their identifying symbols and even hold competitions using ginormous paelleras to cook vast quantities. Valencian\u252c\u00e1paella consists of white round grain rice, green beans, butter beans, meat such as chicken or rabbit and the exquisite seasoning of saffron and sweet paprika.<br \/>\nWhat about tapas? Tapas is the plural of tapa, which comes from the verb \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffto cover&#8217;. Tapas<br \/>\nwere originally slices of bread or meat which Andaluc\u251c\u00a1an sherry drinkers used to cover their<br \/>\nglasses to stop thirsty flies from getting in. Since the meat was salty, alcohol sales increased<br \/>\nand now tapas are equally important as sherry. In northern Spain, tapas have a different<br \/>\nname of pintxos. It is impossible to definitively name the core tapas ingredients as tapas is<br \/>\nnot a type of food and ingredients that remains the same from region to region, town to town<br \/>\nor bar to bar. Hence Spaniards go bar-hopping, eating a single plate in each establishment.<br \/>\nWe have heard of Sangria and probably Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja, but Spain<br \/>\noffers an abundance of hidden-gems in terms of delightful drinks. From the cool climate<br \/>\nnorth-western regions comes the fragrant Albari\u251c\u2592o; from Ribero del Duera comes the Fino<br \/>\nTinto; from a variety of regions comes the dependable Garnacha; from southern Jerez de la Frontera\u252c\u00e1comes the intriguing sherry; and from Catalunya comes the outstanding cava full of excitable bubbles, to name but a handful.<br \/>\nIt excites me that each region, sometimes even each town has its own speciality which helps<br \/>\nform the people&#8217;s identity. Spaniards identify far more with their regions than with Spain as a<br \/>\nwhole, hence it is understandable how regional food and drinks play such a significant role in<br \/>\nforming identity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wales<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/32113273942_af0a1abc05_b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17094 size-large alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/32113273942_af0a1abc05_b-1024x924.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/32113273942_af0a1abc05_b.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/32113273942_af0a1abc05_b-300x271.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/32113273942_af0a1abc05_b-768x693.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>By Angharad May<\/p>\n<p>Despite the line, \u00d4\u00c7\u00fffeed me till I want no more&#8217;, from the infamous hymn, Bread of Heaven,\u252c\u00e1sung at Welsh rugby matches, Wales is not massively famous for its contribution to the\u252c\u00e1culinary world. In fact, Wales&#8217;s national food seems only to be the humble leek, but I would\u252c\u00e1like you to tuck in and devour the sumptuous treats Wales has to offer, because we are far\u252c\u00e1more than a nation of leek-eaters.\u252c\u00e1Typically, Welsh food is a wholesome fare, and this, arguably, is a reflection of Welsh\u252c\u00e1identity. Historically, food was seen as fuel whose sole purpose was to fill the appetites of\u252c\u00e1those who worked on the land as this was one of the main forms of employment in Wales,\u252c\u00e1be it farming, coal-mining, fishing or quarry-working. This hard, physical work required\u252c\u00e1substantial, filling meals to provide energy, hence foods such as \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffcawl&#8217; (a hearty broth),\u252c\u00e1Welsh rarebit (similar to cheese on toast) and \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffbara brith&#8217; (a fruitcake) which are very much\u252c\u00e1now intrinsically part of Welsh national identity.\u252c\u00e1Most Welsh farmers or producers consider food to have a vital role in forming their national\u252c\u00e1identity, after all, Welsh lamb and black beef are globally held in high-esteem as being some\u252c\u00e1of the best. Welsh cheese also deserves a special mention. Now I love cheese, and you will often find me woolgathering over the cheese-counter at Wally&#8217;s (if you haven&#8217;t been \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 go!) where there is a bountiful selection of Welsh cheeses including Caerphilly, Y Fenni, Perl L\u251c\u00f3s and Golden Cenarth to name but a few.\u252c\u00e1Another of my passions is wine which perhaps seems incongruous when talking about\u252c\u00e1Welsh identity. Historically, mead was the only wine Wales was known for, but now there\u252c\u00e1are an increasing number of award-winning Welsh vineyards which is incredibly exciting.\u252c\u00e1In our multicultural world where the whole world&#8217;s cuisine is available at our fingertips, it is\u252c\u00e1difficult to state that, for example, \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffI am Welsh because of the food I eat&#8217;. However, I am\u252c\u00e1proud of the quality produce we have here in Wales and, as a Welsh gal, I feel strongly\u252c\u00e1about supporting local Welsh producers in a bid to showcase the wealth of delectable foods\u252c\u00e1we as a nation should celebrate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hong Kong By Yi Lam Tang Ever since I came to Cardiff, the one thing I miss the most is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":514,"featured_media":17087,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[3054,4384,2606,3436],"class_list":["post-17086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-and-drink","tag-cardiff-student-media","tag-national-identity","tag-nostalgia","tag-quench-food"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
