BBQ Brethren "Latin Cuisine" Throwdown

bigabyte · Feb 20, 2011

Our new category is...

[size=+2]"Latin Cuisine"[/size]

...as chosen by h00kemh0rns, the winner of the Food You Eat With Your Hands Throwdown!

Here is what h00kemh0rns has in mind for this Throwdown...

Wikipedia has a good run down of what constitutes Latin Cuisine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_American_cuisine

Make any one dish or meal based on one, or combination, of Latin regions. This could even be a fusion of American BBQ with flavors from Latin (ie spices, peppers, etc.) Be creative so long as the inspiration comes from a Latin lineage the entry qualifies.

Oh, I like this one. I only wish it was later in the year, so I could pick the produce from my own garden. Win or lose, I'm going to enjoy this throwdown!

I'm salivating already. I hope I have time to put something in. I don't think I've been this excited since Justin Bieber's last album dropped.

Just to clarify, the title says "Latin Cuisine" while the Wikipedia entry is "Latin American Cuisine". Is it safe to assume the Italian version of Latin Cuisine is out?

I was just waiting for this to be asked and discussed for the next 3 pages! Latin is one of those really ambiguous terms. Technically, it should include quisine from Romania to Spain, in addition to "Latin America" and of course Quebecois (more poutine, Tom?). The example given was "Latin America," which is much more limiting, of course, but I'm guessing is what is meant and expected. I'm sure after all the discussions, it will be left up to the voter to decide, but I'm liking spaghetti or some mititei. :becky:

So, my plans for valvulis basa pisces garum uuae are not gonna qualify for this Throwdown?

Yes the expectation is that the Latin part of the entry must be limited to the wiki countries listed. In this case Latin America.

Gore · Feb 21, 2011

Great, then I will be marinating my spaghetti in garum, just to play it safe. :thumb:

landarc · Feb 21, 2011

It is a little known fact that the Romans, Chinese and Japanese may have visited the Central and South American continents thousands of years ago, so it is likely that garum, nuoc mam, nam pla, shoyu and hoisin are all in play for this Throwdown.

zydecopaws · Feb 21, 2011

Can't any of you just make a good pupusa and let it go at that?

Gore · Feb 21, 2011

I think a tofu pupusa with a garum dipping sauce might work.
