Ethnic Cuisine

Is it better to cook the meat before filling the wrapper or to fill it raw (I'm using ground beef or pork). My filipino mother says she does both, but I don't remember which tastes better. So, all you filipino lumpia makers out there, which is your preference and why?

I'm looking for a sauce recipe, and I don't mean open a jar or tear open a package, I mean "REAL" sauce. I know it's a tall order (I'm sure that "old world" Italian recipes are a closely guarded family secrets), but hopefully someone out there can offer some guidence. I understand that I'm setting myself up for alot of different and sarcastic answers, but please only respond if you have a serious answer and know that spaghetti sauce and pizza sauce aren't the same thing. Thank you all in advance!

Does anyone agree that the clear packets are awful. It's totally different from the bottles.

if you don't know what they are, don't answer. if you've enjoyed either one, let me hear what you think. if you've tried both, which do you think is the best.
i think i have to choose the grapeleaves, even tho both are awesome

I'm investigating all things east Asian these days. The local Asian supermarket has an entire aisle of soy sauces.

Which ones are best?

I bought a bottle of Lee Kum Kee, which is more flavorful than the Kikkoman I'm used to tasting. Wikipedia says I should get one that has yeast (koji). As the bottles are often in Chinese, how can I tell if it has koji?

Help!

My Australian friend tells me that a serving of Vegemite raises both one's IQ and testosterone level.

Is this true?

Also, is Vegemite available in American stores? More specifically, San Diego?

I love Italian food!

When I was in middle school, I had a Latino friend who I would hang out with after school. We'd go over to her house and she'd make me Mexican food, like beans and rice, and one time even warm milk with a cinnamon stick in it!

They were all really good, and so I ask to see if anyone else has had really good Latino food, what they though, and if they had the recipes!

The local Armenian bakery uses it in their "old Armenian style" bread. It says on the paper it's a "universal starter"... is that like yeast? They use both yeast and bigaa in the bread. I wanted to read more about what bigaa is made from and how it is made - or even where to buy it, but I've found nothing.

Our favorite Mexican restaurant -- which is not a chain, by the way -- has one fault, if it is indeed a fault: Their refried beans are very thin and soupy in consistency. As an ala carte side, they have to be brought in a small bowl. When you order a bean burrito, it comes as a huge platter of soupy beans -- almost like gravy in viscosity -- with a pathetic collapsed flour tortilla in the middle of the plate.

We haven't complained, and probably won't, because we do not know how "authentic" to the cuisine this may in fact be. But we have to wonder if they are just practicing the expedient of keeping the beans extra wet so they won't dry out on a hotline.

In any event, I would like to know what the "proper" consistency and thickness of good and authentic Mexican refried beans should be.

Thanks in advance.
