Nā Meaʻai Kuʻuna ma Mauritius: He Manaʻo Kūlana
ʻO Mauritius kahi ipu hoʻoheheʻe o nā moʻomeheu a ʻike ʻia kēia ʻokoʻa i kāna meaʻai. ʻO ka lāhui mokupuni ka home o nā lāhui likeʻole, kēlā me kēia me kāna meaʻai pono'ī, a ua alakaʻi kēia i kahi hui kūikawā o nā meaʻono a me nā meaʻai. Eia nō naʻe, aia kekahi mau kīʻaha kuʻuna i kikoʻī i nā wahi like ʻole o Mauritius. ʻAʻole ʻono wale kēia mau meaʻai, akā haʻi pū kekahi i ka moʻolelo o ka poʻe a me ia wahi, a lilo lākou i mea nui o ka moʻomeheu a me ka hoʻoilina o ka ʻāina.
E ʻimi i nā ʻono kū hoʻokahi o ka ʻĀkau, Hema, Hikina a me ke Komohana
ʻIke ʻia ka ʻĀkau o Mauritius no kāna mau kīʻaha iʻa, e like me ka vindaye iʻa (ka iʻa pickled) a me ka curry octopus. Kaulana ka Hema no kāna mau kīʻaha Creole ʻono e like me ka rougaille (he ʻuala me ka iʻa a me ka ʻiʻo) a me ka daube (he ʻiʻo pipi i hoʻomoʻa mālie). Ma ka Hikina, ʻike ʻoe i nā kīʻaha India e like me ka biryani (he kīʻaha laiki me ka ʻiʻo a i ʻole nā mea kanu) a me ka dholl puri (he palaoa paʻa i hoʻopiha ʻia me nā pī ʻāpana). ʻO ke Komohana kahi home o nā meaʻai Kina, e like me kaʻu frite (fried noodles) a me ka laiki palai.
E ʻike i ke ʻano moʻomeheu o nā meaʻai kūloko ma Mauritius
ʻAʻole pili wale nā kīʻaha kuʻuna o Mauritius akā pili pū kekahi i ka mōʻaukala, ka moʻomeheu, a me ka ʻike. No ka laʻana, ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo rougaille mai nā kauā ʻApelika i lawe ʻia i ka mokupuni, ʻoiai ʻo biryani e hōʻike ana i ka mana o nā malihini India i hōʻea i ke kenekulia 19. ʻO Dholl puri kahi meaʻai nui ma Mauritius, a lawelawe pinepine ʻia i ka wā hoʻomana haipule a me nā hui ʻohana. Pēlā nō, ʻo kaʻu frite kahi meaʻai alanui kaulana ma Port Louis, ke kūlanakauhale nui o Mauritius. Ma ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i kēia mau kīʻaha, hiki i nā malihini ke ʻike hohonu i ka wā kahiko a me kēia manawa.
I ka hopena, ʻo Mauritius kahi paradaiso culinary e hāʻawi ana i kahi ākea o nā kīʻaha kuʻuna kikoʻī i nā wahi like ʻole. ʻAʻole pono ka poʻe kipa e haʻalele i ka manawa e ʻimi ai i nā ʻono kūʻokoʻa o ka ʻĀkau, Hema, Hikina, a me ke Komohana a ʻike i ke ʻano moʻomeheu o nā kīʻaha kūloko ma Mauritius. Inā he vindaye iʻa, rougaille, biryani, a i ʻole mine frite, haʻi kēia mau meaʻai i ka moʻolelo o nā kānaka a me ia wahi, e lilo ana lākou i mea nui o ka moʻomeheu a me ka hoʻoilina o ka mokupuni.
