He ʻāina liʻiliʻi ʻo Uruguay ma ʻAmelika Hema, a he kuʻuna kuʻuna waiwai kona e ʻoliʻoli ai i nā meaʻai. ʻO nā lā hoʻomaha ma Uruguay kahi manawa no ka ʻohana, nā hoaaloha, a ʻoiaʻiʻo hoʻi, nā meaʻai ʻono. Inā he Kalikimaka, Easter, a i ʻole kekahi hanana kūikawā ʻē aʻe, ʻākoakoa nā ʻohana Uruguayan a puni ka papaʻaina e kaʻana like i nā kīʻaha kuʻuna i hoʻoili ʻia mai kēlā hanauna a i kēia hanauna.
ʻO nā kīʻaha hoʻomaha ʻo Uruguayan kaulana: nā mea ʻai a me nā mea ʻai
ʻO kekahi o nā kīʻaha kaulana loa i ka wā hoʻomaha o Uruguayan ʻo ia ka "asado," ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka barbecue i kuke ʻia ma luna o kahi lapalapa ākea. Loaʻa i ka asado nā ʻokiʻoki like ʻole o ka ʻiʻo, e like me nā iwi ʻaoʻao pipi, sausages, a me ka moa, i hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia me ka paʻakai a kuke ʻia i ka maikaʻi. ʻO nā kīʻaha ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe e hele pū me ka asado ʻo "ensalada rusa," he salakeke Lūkini i hana ʻia me ka ʻuala, kāloti, a me ka pī, a me ka "ensalada criolla," he salakeke i hana ʻia me nā aniani, nā tōmato, a me nā pepa.
ʻO kekahi meaʻai kaulana i ka wā hoʻomaha o Uruguayan ʻo "pascualina," ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka paʻi ʻono e lawelawe mau ʻia i ka wā Easter. Hana ʻia ka pascualina me ka spinach, nā hua manu, ka cheese, a i kekahi manawa nā aniani a i ʻole ham. Hiki ke hāʻawi ʻia ka pai i ka wela a i ʻole ke anu a ʻokiʻoki ʻia i loko o nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi a i ʻole nā ʻāpana.
No ka mea ʻai, ʻo "alfajores" kahi mea pono e hoʻāʻo. Hana ʻia kēia mau mea ʻono me nā kuki ʻelua i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me ka dulce de leche, ʻo ia hoʻi kahi pālahalaha e like me ka caramel i hana ʻia mai ka waiū condensed. Hoʻopili ʻia nā kuki i ka pauka kōpaʻa a hiki ke hāʻawi ʻia me ke kīʻaha o ka "mate," ʻo ia kahi kīʻaha lāʻau kaulana i inu ʻia ma Uruguay.
ʻO nā mea ʻono a me nā mea inu ʻē aʻe o Uruguayan e hoʻāʻo ai
Ma waho aʻe o nā alfajores a me nā hoa, aia kekahi mau mea ʻono hoʻomaha hoʻomaha Uruguayan a me nā mea inu e hoʻāʻo ai. ʻO "Postre chajá" kahi meaʻai momona i hana ʻia me ka keke sponge, ka ʻaila huikau, a me ka meringue. Hoʻokomo pinepine ʻia ka mea ʻai me nā huaʻai, e like me nā peaches, nā strawberries, a me nā kiwi.
ʻO "Clara con ruda" kahi inu kuʻuna Uruguayan i inu mau ʻia i ka wā o ka makahiki hou. Hana ʻia ka inu ma ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka ruda, ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka mea kanu, me ka waina keʻokeʻo a me ke kō. Manaʻo ʻia ʻo ka inu ʻana i ka clara con ruda e loaʻa ka pōmaikaʻi a pale aku i nā ʻuhane ʻino.
Ma keʻano holoʻokoʻa, ʻo nā kuʻuna meaʻai hoʻomaha Uruguayan he mea ʻono a kū hoʻokahi ʻaʻole pono e nalo. Inā ʻoe e leʻaleʻa ana i kahi asado me ka ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha a i ʻole ke ʻono ʻana i ka postre chajá, ʻo ka meaʻai ma Uruguay e ʻoliʻoli i kou ʻono.
