Shrimp and Avocada Tostadas

In Korea, food and medicine serve the same purpose. If someone is sick, they will make them a hearty meal and they believe that that will heal them.

Mexican food is very popular in the United States, however we don’t get to have real mexican food. Corn is found in almost every meal, usually in the form of a tortilla. Tortillas are the basis of a typical dish in Mexico and the most common dishes in coastal areas is seafood. They use chilies enhanced with herbs and spices to get the maximum flavor out of their dishes and sometimes combined with beans or other peppers. Some popular fruits and vegetables are tomatoes, tomatillos, squash, sweet potatoes, avocados, mangos, pineapples and papayas. Here, chicken and pork are more common than beef. The dishes you will most likely see in Mexico are chilaquiles, pozole, tacos al pastor, tostadas, chiles en nogada or elote.

French:

France is known as the largest cheese consumers in the world. They eat cheese, bread and wine with almost every meal, with wine being the most important part of a meal. A classical french dish is rich and filling and chefs take a good amount of time to make their food look appealing. Most of their classical dishes are made with a complicated preparation and with heavy sauces. Onion soup, chocolate souffle, ratatouille, flamiche, duck confit, apple pie and boeuf bourguignon (stew made of beef braised in red wine and beef broth, seasoned with garlic, onions and mushrooms).

Oddly enough, many people drink their hot beverages from bowls and dip bread in it.

FOOD MYTH VS FACT

Myth: To minimize fat and calories from chicken, remove the skin before cooking it.

Fact:

Grilling, roasting, baking, broiling or roasting poultry with the skin intact preserves its natural juices. You can minimize your calories by removing the skin before you serve it.

Myth: Dark bread is always better than white.

Fact:

The darker the bread doesn’t necessarily mean it’s made with whole grains. Look for the words “whole grain” on the package.

Myth: Eating celery burns more calories than you take in.

Fact: It’s a myth that celery has “negative” calories.

Myth: Brown eggs are more nutritious than white ones.

Fact:

The color of the shell indicates the color of the feathers of the bird it came from. White hens lay white eggs and red hens lay brown eggs. The nutrition is the same.

Myth: All salads are healthy.

Fact:

Myth: Frozen and canned fruits and vegetables are less nutritious than fresh ones

Most salads are healthy until you put on all of that dressing like ranch, bacon, fried chicken and even some cheeses.

Myth: The fewer carbs, the healthier you are.

Fact:

Food processors quick-freeze fresh-picked produce; this preserves much of its vitamins and minerals. Fresh fruits and vegetables are only more nutritious if they are eaten as soon as they are picked.
