AROUND THE WORLD WITH 4 SPICY BREAKFASTS

published on 28/10/2023 In various global traditions, there are many cultures that use chili peppers for breakfast. Chili peppers are, in fact, a constant ingredient in the dishes of India, Mexico, Turkey and South Korea. But today, let's focus on the most important meal: breakfast.

India

Breakfast in India is primarily savory. It is usually based on Vadai and Idli, which are typical legume donuts accompanied by very spicy coconut, tomato, or mint chutneys. Eating hot and spicy food reduces sweating and decreases the perception of heat, preparing the body for the temperatures of the subtropical climate.

Mexico

In Mexico, like in India, breakfast is predominantly savory. There are numerous recipes, but Huevos Rancheros is a typical Mexican breakfast preparation. It consists of fried eggs served with a spicy tomato sauce, onions, peppers, accompanied by beans, and corn tortillas.

Turkey

In Turkey, savory breakfast is very common, and Cilbir is a traditional Ottoman recipe. A tasty and quick preparation: poached eggs accompanied by garlic yogurt and drizzled with spicy butter.

South Korea

Kimchi is a Korean specialty made from fermented cabbage and spices, particularly appreciated for its beneficial qualities, and in particular, for its intense and spicy taste.
