👨‍💻 ASEAN Hive Community Challenge #25 - 👩‍🍳 Bizarre Foods 🦪 With Ecency Prizes

2 years ago

Greetings Hivers, @justinparke here with a brand new ASEAN Hive Community Challenge for you all, 👩‍🍳 Bizarre Foods 🦪, a pretty self-explanatory challenge.

👩‍🍳 Bizarre Foods 🦪

👨‍💻 Week #25 Challenge 👩‍💻

^{September 19th ➡️ September 26th, 2022}

There are a lot of bizarre foods around the world, and what might seem like a normal food to you might be a weird food to another person. When I explain how cheese is made to my Cambodian friends, they are always shocked and disgusted, but it's a perfectly normal food in many parts of the world. Even here in SE Asia, tempeh is perfectly normal in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, but here in Cambodia it would be considered a very bizarre food, especially considering how it is produced.

Durian is a food normal all over SE Asia, but strange in other countries, and of course there are local versions too. Perhaps your area has a strange fruit/vegetable not found elsewhere, or even a local dish that might be considered strange to some people. In some parts of the USA, people eat pickled eggs, and I always thought this was very strange as a kid, and of course the Philippines has balut.

Let's see your strange and bizarre foods my fellow ASEAN Hivers. I recently tried cardamom shoots for the first time, and I must say it was like eating Tiger Balm, not a joy. Even though I cook with cardamom seeds very often, I didn't know the plant itself was also edible, but after trying it, I not question it's edibility 😉😁.

Week #24 ASEAN Hive Challenge Winners
👵 Local Proverbs/Folk Sayings 👴

Wow!!! This was one of the most culturally insightful challenges so far, and those of you from mixed heritage families have access to the most proverbs all, able to pull from multiple knowledge banks. I really enjoyed reading every single entry, and was reminded how small the world is, we have many different ways of saying the same thing. As hard as it was, I narrowed things down to 3 outstanding entries, so let's go ahead and have a look.

congratulations to the winners, you guys have shown the best for all of us, I really enjoyed the three selected posts.

I can really appreciate the meaning of the proverbs of each country shown here, and of course each country has different proverbs, according to the customs and culture of a particular country.

The fruit that doesn't fall far from the tree, yes I think it's one of the most popular proverbs in Indonesia, and it's one of the proverbs that is often spoken for people who want to have a family, that when they want a child, then of course the good or bad of a child who will be born, depends on his parents, especially his mother and father.

the reality that happens in the family is like that, if parents want a good child, then of course the father and mother must show good behavior, especially in front of their children.

children are a reflection of their parents, and if we see how the behavior and ethics of a child are, then we no longer need to ask how their parents behave.

I remember the message from my parents in the past, if you want your child not to smoke, then you should not smoke, or at least never smoke in front of him, and if you want your child to be a philanthropist, then show that you are someone who likes to help others.

so I think the proverb is very touching and will be very useful if we live and practice it in everyday life....

I also found a very gentle and touching proverb that came from the Philippines...

If someone throws a stone at you, then respond with bread.

I think it is a proverb that is advocated by all religions, where we know that all religions practice their adherents to forgive each other and behave gently, and do not condone vengeance.

that proverb made me realize that there is really no point in repaying someone's evil with evil, if evil must be repaid with evil then we can no longer recognize which people are good and who are bad, and actually there are no bad people, there are only lost into the wrong path, and they have not found the right path, and God will send someone to point them to the right path.

the proverb that is popular in the Philippines, even I remember my late father's message, my father once told me, if you want to live happily in this world, then do the simple thing, that is, never insult other people if you don't want to. insulted, never berate others if you don't want to be insulted, and even if you are insulted and washed by others then you don't retaliate, accept sincerely what they do, when they insult you they are actually insulting their Lord, because of what they did. The despicable thing that is in you is God's creation, which is actually very perfect.

These two proverbs really touch my heart.

Oh yes I think the challenge for next week is no less exciting, show your strange food, and in your country.

I think that is actually something that is not so difficult to show, because every day in our kitchen we are always served a variety of foods that are actually strange to ourselves, and also to other people.

I totally agree with what @justinparke said, that what is strange for us is not necessarily strange for others, and what is considered strange for others is not necessarily strange for us.

I have a little weirdness in my children, my son really doesn't like durian, just to smell it he can't stand it, he even vomits, and that's weird for me, because me, my wife and two younger siblings, really like durian.

My daughter thinks that cooking boiled long beans is something strange and she is afraid to eat it, she doesn't even want to smell the aroma, even though according to her mother and I also think that long beans are the most delicious food.

so I think it will be very unique to find various food idiosyncrasies in this part of the world, with a variety of unique, unique, and funny stories of course.

Oh yes my dear friend @justinparke, how many of my friends are active members of the Asean hive they already have the Asian HIVe logo written on their account name there, they think you have given it to them, and if you don't mind I also want you to make it one for me.
