Do you follow any traditions? I'm Irish/Italian, but basically just eat lots of pasta and drink lots of beer. :drinker:

Haha, I just moved to Cajun country.0

I'm born here, my mother is born here, but both my mother and father are of Chinese descent.
I pretty much take my shoes off inside the house - LOL - but food-wise, we were raised to eat a lot of fruits and veggies.
I guess I'm also used to drinking my tea w/o milk or sugar, unless it's chai.
My folks are not religious types, so most of our family reunions and celebrations are centered around FOOD, rather than religious rituals.0 -
italian! pasta with a side of pasta was pretty much my diet growing up...would explain a lot...0

Native American---FRY BREAD, YUMMMM!!!!!!!!0

My kids are part Irish,so I have been making corn beef and cabbage for over 30 years.0

1/4 Filipino
1/8 Irish
1/8 English
1/8 Italian

So...every food on the planet? That's my problem, I think. Plus I live in Arizona where Mexican food is available on every corner.0 -
Filipina....have to have rice w/ every meal...and yes that even means breakfast.... shoot rice can even be made as the main dish just fry it up with garlic and some salt...maybe even stir in an egg..and there's lunch0

I wish could say convict.....but that wouldn't be true.
My great grandparents immigrated to Australia, so Sweedish on my mother's side, English / German on my father's side.....but food here (at least for my family) is all about Asia, especially Thai. Lemongrass, ginger, chilli, stir fries, red curries......yum.0 -
Welch and Irish, but we have been in the US since the 1600's so the influence is pretty well gone. Recent ancestors from the hills of Kentucky so that pretty well defines "ethnic food" in my house.0

My mother is Korean, and all of her grandchildren refer to her as "Halmony" which is Korean for "grandmother", and my sister and I each go by the Korean words for "aunt" when it comes to nieces and nephews. The granddaughters (my daughter and my niece) also wore the traditional Korean hanbok on their 1st birthdays. We eat LOTS of Korean food, or rather I used to eat a lot of it before MFP (hello sodium!), and my 4 year old's favorite snack is dried seaweed. I grew up eating white rice with everything - steak, hot dogs, smoked sausage, etc... - and didn't know it was considered weird until my husband pointed it out to me, lol. Garlic is in just about everything I cook.
My dad's side is polish. I can't think of any traditions, but we don't know that side of the family very well.0 -
My father's family are Indian, my mother is a mixture of English, Irish and Welsh.
I love traditional British foods, and I'm trying to perfect a low calorie, vegan, full-English breakfast. So far, I've got baked tomatoes and mushrooms, homemade baked beans (so much better than from a tin, seriously), toast, and vegan sausages. I've yet to get the hang of hash browns, let alone come up with a low cal version.
...idea! Grated potato, microwaved, mixed with a dash of french salad dressing for zinginess, sprayed with oil and baked. I wonder if that would work? Must try it.0 -
Irish and Sicilian! Pasta, pizza, cheese, cannoli, beer, wine....ugh YUM!!!!0
