Coriander??? :confused: dont think so, coriander = kabsare

 

i like it in my tea, i dont buy the stuff :rolleyes:

[raula]

^^^North..xawaash..is not for tea(maybe in the NORTH )..tis for BARIIS and other heavy meals dear.

 

Waraada...laxoox(canjeelo)with Subga/sareen/muqmaad/codkac; no wonder we have increased incidence rates(or prevalence rates-however poor data collection when the country was intact)of DIABETES in Somalis in the DIASPORA. That stuff is not healthy at all :mad: :mad: too much cholesterol/atherosclerosis/heart-related diseases/Metabolic syndrome X/hyptension/.

 

I have heard of some patients given SUBAAG IDAAD :eek: :mad: when they are going through the healing process after a minor BAABASIIR(QOORMAALEY)-ectomy.

lol@coriander

the xawash northerner is refering to such things as "qorofol", in english its close to cinammon sticks and "haiil" that I don't know any english equivalent for, but what is shax whitout these ingredients I ask?

 

I'm presuming all these comparisons are serving as a lesson in the cultural differences between north and south. Femme_fatale are you taking notes?

[Gabbal]

"qorofol"

Do you mean "qolfe"?

u is right mate but kabsare is the plant and xawaash is the seeds..i think

and ppl it is not "qorofol" nor "qolfe" its Qorfe

^I do believe that you are right my fellow melbournian (at least that's how we say it ).

[N.O.R.F]

Thanks for clearing that up :cool:

 

There are many differences between north and south when it comes to food, but one thing that is unanimous is how we love 'our' Somali food. I cant go 1 day without eating bariis or basto or kibis or sugaar etc etc.

 

Daydreams, mouth waters, stomach rumbles

[Gediid]

Qorfe=Cloves

Cilantro or Coriander=Kamsaro not Kabsaro as some suggested

Hail=??Need help with that.

Xawash for Suugo and rice or anything else la shiilo

[N.O.R.F]

Kamsaro not Kabsaro as some suggested

:mad:

 

Waar ma-inagi aya isku-jesaney?

Hail: CARDAMON in English.

 

What the hell is Kamsaro??? You mean kabsaro.

 

One culinary tip for you brother with spices: always leave it last, unlike Somalis who tend to stir it from moment go and in the process loose the damn essence :mad: .

[Gediid]

Thanx India for the tip.

But I'm surprised you and Northerner have Kamsaro caleen as Kabsaro but then so long as you both understand its aight.

[India]

^^^any time huno.

 

But what on earth is Kamsaro? is the same as kabsaro???

 

Honestly at loss with this one :confused:

[AYOUB]

You say bataate, I say ...go to hell!
