raula Posted November 17, 2004 ^^^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.

LANDER Posted November 17, 2004 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 Posted November 17, 2004 "qorofol" Do you mean "qolfe"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LANDER Posted November 17, 2004 Originally posted by HornAfrique: quote: "qorofol" Do you mean "qolfe"? ...yeah I guess so horn, that must be the reer konfureed pronunciation. Out of curiosity what do you call haiil? is it the same? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intel Posted November 17, 2004 Originally posted by Northerner: coriander = kabsare 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N.O.R.F Posted November 18, 2004 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gediid Posted November 18, 2004 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted November 18, 2004 Kamsaro not Kabsaro as some suggested :mad: Waar ma-inagi aya isku-jesaney? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
India Posted November 18, 2004 Gediid 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 Posted November 18, 2004 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
