Top 10 Foods In The World!
Posted on 1/19/17
10) Chicken muamba, Gabon
It’s a bastardized Western version of this mouth-watering Gabonese dish swamps everything in peanut butter. The food’s proper recipe calls for chicken, hot chili, garlic, tomato, pepper, salt, okra and palm butter, and an artery-clogging that will force you into a second-helping!
9) Ice cream, United States
Even after you stuffed yourself to point you feel like you're going to explode, we still tend to have room for a U.S pile of ice cream.
8) Tom yum goong, Thailand
A Thai masterpiece has shrimp, mushrooms, tomatoes, lemongrass, galangal and kaffir lime leaves. Mostly loaded with coconut milk and cream, the hearty soup unifies a host of favorite Thai tastes: sour, salty, spicy and sweet. Best of all is the price: cheap.
7) Penang assam laksa, Malaysia
One of Malaysia’s most famous dishes, penang assam laksa, contains poached, chili, flaked mackerel, lemongrass, mint, pineapple, and onions.
6) Hamburger, Germany
Its unbelievable how much money people spend on burgers. About US$20 billion each year are spent to buy hamburgers in ONE restaurant!
5) Peking duck, China
The maltose-syrup glaze is the secret. Slow roasted in an oven, crispy, syrup glazed that's so good that authentic eatries will serve more skin than meat!
4) Sushi, Japan
Nothing tastes better than just simple raw fish and rice. But it’s how the fish and rice are placed makes it a global first-date favorite.
3) Chocolate, Mexico
The story of the humble cocoa bean is a bona fide out-of-the-jungle, into-civilization tale of culinary wonders. Without this delicious sweet Valentine's day would be just flowers and cards. Easter would turn back into one of those dull, boring holiday religions!
2) Neapolitan pizza, Italy
The best pizza was and still is the simple Neapolitan. A recipe that insists on sea salt, high-grade flour, the use of only three types of fresh tomatoes, hand-rolled dough and the strict use of a wood-fired oven, along with other quality simulations.
1) Massaman curry, Thailand
Emphatically the king of curries -- perhaps the king of all foods. Spicy, coconutty, sweet and savory. “The Land Of Smiles” isn’t just a marketing catch-line. It's the result of living in an area that the number one food being sold in every market around the corner.

Food Network Kitchen's Shrimp Scampi Recipe!
Posted on 12/15/16
Note: If your name is Aqua Man, you’re a vegetarian/vegan, or you have allergies to seafood, this article may not be suitable for you.
Calling all seafood lovers! Someone by the name of BREY has requested a recipe for shrimp scampi! And since she is my blood-related sister, I am absolutely obliged to provide her with such. (It also means my brother and I will probably have to make it for her.) With that said, let’s not be shellfish and get right into it! (Gosh, my sister will never forgive me for that one…)
First, some people might ask, What exactly is scampi? Many people confuse it for being the overall preparation of the pasta with the seafood. But according to Wikipedia, “Scampi includes various culinary preparations of certain crustaceans, commonly Nephrops norvegicus, or a similar lobster such as Metanephrops, as well as shrimp or prawns.” (And I don’t normally cite from Wikipedia.) So when you talk about shrimp scampi, you mean the specific culinary preparation of the shrimp itself. Understood? We good? Good. Now without further ado, I give you the Shrimp Scampi recipe!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Time:25 min
Prep:15 min
Cook: 10 min
Yield: 4 servings
Level: Easy
Ingredients
1 pound jumbo shrimp, shelled and deveined
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup dry white vermouth
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
Directions
Put the shrimp on a large disposable pie pan or paper plate and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the butter to the skillet. When the foaming subsides, raise the heat to high and invert the plate of shrimp over the skillet so the shrimp fall into the pan all at once. Cook the shrimp, without moving them, for 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Turn the shrimp over and cook for 2 minutes more. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl.
Return the skillet to the heat and pour in the vermouth and lemon juice. Boil the liquid until slightly thickened, about 30 seconds. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir the lemon zest and parsley into the sauce. Pour the sauce over the shrimp, season with salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine.
Divide the shrimp among plates or arrange on a platter and serve.

We’re already halfway through Fall, folks, and Thanksgiving is nearly here! So it’s time, fellow foodies, that we show our appreciation for the season, because whether you and Autumn get along or not, we should savor this time, the time of what most of us are thankful to have-- food! And lots of it! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that Thanksgiving or Fall is all about the meals we eat, but since this is The Food Page, we might as well act like it is, right? PieLover has suggested the amazingly delicious idea of sharing a recipe for Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate, a great thing to have when you’re trapped inside because of howling winds and stuck using laggy laptops. I used a food site called Yummly, and was surprised to see an endless supply of not only Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate recipes, but recipes for Salted Caramel Brownies, Cupcakes and much more! Now after reading that, I can sense that most of you have already either jumped off of this site or skipped to the end where I give you the link to the page... And after getting that idea, s’more of you went to join them (*wink, wink*). With that said, I won’t go on much longer and conclude that I’m not putting just one recipe on this article for you to (possibly) enjoy, because (1) that would be biased, and therefore (2) robbing you of the full Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate-making experience! So, click on this link for endless options for this hot chocolatey goodness, along with much, much more salted caramel-related deliciousness! So there you go, PieLover. I hope you enjoy your hot chocolate-- you better! :) Bon appétit! Ajia Morrison |
