Ini merupakan pertama kalinya saya berada di Jerman, khususnya Hamburg. Semua nya benar-benar merupakan pengalaman yang sama sekali baru. Hal yang paling menantang untuk tinggal disini bagi saya adalah mengenai makanan. Sebagai orang Indonesia, khususnya orang Padang, setiap harinya saya selalu makan makanan yang ada cabainya. Rempah-rempah dan cabai pada dasarnya merupakan bahan makanan utama dalam setiap makanan. Sudah biasa bagi orang Padang untuk menggunakan cabai dan rempah-rempah dalam setiap bahan makanan. Terus terang, selama magang di Hamburg saya cukup tersiksa karena makan tanpa cabai. Bukan karena tidak bisa menemukan cabai di supermarket atau toko yang menjual bahan makanan Asia, namun lebih dikarenakan sayanya yang malas untuk memasak karena untuk melakukannya lumayan memakan waktu dan saya juga tidak pintar memasak. Jadi, melalui artikel ini saya tidak hanya ingin memberitahukan mengenai makanan Indonesia yang mengandung bahan makanan tersebut (khususnya cabai), akan tetapi juga ingin menghibur diri sendiri yang telah ‘berpuasa’ karena tidak bisa makan cabai.

This is the first time I’ve been to Germany, Hamburg in particular. It’s a whole new life experience. The most challenging condition for me to live here is the food. As an Indonesian, especially Padangnese, I eat something with chili every day. Spices and chili are basically main substances for a everyday meal. It is very common for us Padangnese to mix provisions with chili and spices. Quite frankly I have been dying for not being able to eat chili during my internship in Hamburg. Not that I could not find any chili in the supermarket or Asian market, the thing is that I’m just too lazy to cook since it takes some time to cook the food and I’m not really good at cooking.

La pizza è il piatto più conosciuto, consumato e apprezzato al mondo. Nonostante nel resto del mondo il dibattito su quale sia il paese natale di questo celebre alimento sia ancora accesso, in Italia siamo tutti convinti di una cosa: la pizza è italiana! Quella della pizza è una storia lunga e non sempre chiara. [...]

Pizza is the best known, most consumed and most appreciated food in the world. However, it is not the same everywhere. For example, in Russia the most used topping is called “mokba”, while Japanese people prefer the “mayo jaga”. Which is your favourite?
