Makhbaza, a delicacy from the coastal city of Aden, is grilled fish on the bone marinated in a red mild chili paste.

Its dangerous because its literally stealing our cuisine and history and making money off it, and changing the narrative of it. Look at this site and see how many people are unaware of the food we have apart form bariis and baasto. They think everything we have came from overseas but thats a lie.
No culture gives away what they created quicker then Somalis :kodaksmiley:

  • Shafout is made with Yemeni Lahoh (a pancake like bread) topped with a minty, spicy flavored yogurt, with a hint of garlic. A lettuce and tomato garnish is optional. This cool dish is ideal if served before a heavy meaty meal.

A Yemeni culture vulture female blogger admitting in her posts, her mother would buy Laxooh in Yemen from the Somali market in her city. But in her entire site she claims Yemenis invented Laxooh/Canjeero:gucciwhat:

Lahoh — لحوح
Posted in Appetizers, Breads on May 21, 2012| 28 Comments »





Lahoh reminds me of Ramadan in Aden. My mum would buy paper thin Lahoh from the Somali market and we would have them for Sahoor. I like to put some ghee on a skillet, crisp them, sprinkle sugar on top and enjoy with a cup of Adeni red tea. Yum. These are not the same kind because they have 3 kinds of flour in them, and buttermilk. My mother-in-law makes these. They come out so thin. Here’s the recipe, “Bismillah.”

We all know Somalis influenced the people around them since the start of time. But did you know how much of an influence we had on our Yemeni neighbors? They won't speak about this because they want to steal our food to make money off it. Go to any Yemeni restaurant and see for yourself. Here are some examples of Somali dishes stolen by Yemenis. I will put "Yemeni" in quotation in the description. Look on how they describe our food as theirs. It's a crime.



Examples of Stolen Somali Food:

Maraq (marag) know this.
  • Maraq (مرق) is a "Yemeni"lamb broth soup is always served at the beginning of the meal. It comes with a slice of lemon to squeeze into the soup.
Mandi know this
(mindi, mandy, mandee)


Mandi (المندي‎) is the traditional dish in Yemen native to Hadhramaut Province and many other Yemeni cities. Mandi is usually made from meat (lamb or chicken), basmati rice, and a mixture of spices. The meat used is usually a young and small sized lamb to enhance the taste further. Raisins and pine nuts can be added to the rice as per one's taste. Mandi is also considered as the main dish served in special events such as weddings and feasts.
  • ( Somali bariis influence)
Hanid don't know this?!?
(haneed)

hanid.JPG

Hanid (لحم حنيد) is made with lamb or chicken in a tanoor (clay oven filled with hot coals).
  • ( Haniid is literally a Somali word.)
Mashwi ???


Mashwi (مشوي), meaning grilled or roasted, is the whole fish grilled in the oven and served simply with lemon slices.

  • ( This is a Somali northern coastal dish that was stolen)
Malawah know this
(malawach, malohwa, malowa, mulawah)



Malawah is one of the many kinds of bread eaten in Yemen. What makes it unique is that it is layered and folded with butter or ghee inside which makes it very tasty. You will most likely find this bread in the many restaurants in Sana'a, Aden, Hodeidah or other parts of the country. It is not usually made at home but perhaps somewhere they do make it at home. It also usually comes very large in a single or "malawah double" serving and then is folded on the table to keep it from cooling down and getting too crispy.
  • ( They even stole Malawah, again Malawah has no meaning in Arabic, but in Somali the meaning is clear in the name )
Sabayah yup
(sabaya, bint al sahn)


Source: Queen of Sheba Yemeni Recipes

Sabayah (بنت الصحن) is layers of pastry with butter in between each layer and Yemeni honey and black sesame seeds on top.
  • ( They stole the word Sabayaad for this dish, Somali Sabaayad is served with Malab)
Fasolia yea
(fasuuliah)



Fasolia (فاصوليا) is a red or white kidney bean dish with tomatoes, onions, and other vegetables and spices.
  • ( Northern Somali Dish stolen )

Sambusa hell yes
(sambosa, samosa)



Many Asian countries have their own version of sambusa. The Yemeni version is eaten during Ramadan for iftar when breaking the fast at sunset. Usually inside is meat or cheese.


Qamir this is qorec in some parts of the north. sour one is baajiye/baagiye
(khameer, bakhmri)



Qamir (الخمير او المقصفص) is a fried dough sweet from Hadramout and it has similar cousins in East Africa, India, and other Arab countries. This bread-like treat can be either sweet or savory. It's usually served during Ramadan along with the sambosa. (Note in the photo that the qamir are behind the sambusa.)
  • (Literally another Somali dish stolen, in the north it is called Khamir in the south it is called Buur)

Shurbat Qamah ??
(shurbat Ramadan, shuraba, shurabah)



Shurbat qamah is a soup that is only made during Ramadan for breaking the fast. Buckwheat or oatmeal is a main ingredient and makes the soup chewy. The broth is made with onion, slices of tomato, and tomato sauce. There are other variations of the broth with different vegetables or even just milk and salt. It can be made with lamb or chicken.
  • ( Somali Shurba stolen, again same meaning it is only eaten during Ramadan)


There is many more examples, but don't ever think our dishes were influenced by others. :gucciwhat: They were stolen from us :nahgirl:

Jodeci alot of dishes come from Zelia, sure the Yemenis borrowed but Somalis tuuged some stuff from the Timo Jileec and made it better. Cusine is often borrowed and reimagined. :hillarybiz: Laxooh is all Horner and muqmaad (purely Somali). They can't rob us of our national treasure.
