A i ka manawa ua lilo ia i meaʻai nui no kēia māhele o ka honua. Hāʻawiʻia ka līlī he makana o nā akua i nā kānaka, he hōʻailona ia o ka ulu a me ka pōmaikaʻi. ʻO kēia manaʻo he wahi nui ia o ka moʻomeheu o nā'āina he nui. Manaʻo nā poʻe mōʻaukala i ka hikiʻana o ka raiki i ka Pākehā o ka honua ma muli o ka mea i lanakila aiʻo Alexander the Great i India. Aia a hiki i kēia manawa, ua hele mai ke kuʻuna o ka hoʻolapalapaʻana i nā keiki hou i ka maleʻana me ka'oiki. No laila, makemake nā'ōpio i ka pōmaikaʻi a me ka pōmaikaʻi.
ʻO Rice i keʻano o nā mahiʻai mahiʻai i hiki aku i Rusia i kaʻumikumamālima mau makahiki ma o Ukraine a me Hungary. Akā,ʻaʻole i kapaʻia kahi raiki i ka raiki a hiki i ka makahikiʻumikumamāiwa, ma mua o laila he millet Sorochin, a ma mua aku,ʻo Saracina palaoa aʻo Sarakena ka palaoa.
ʻO kaʻaila ka hua o kaʻohi a, e like me nā hua'ē aʻe,ʻo ia hoʻiʻo nā huaʻaleʻa. ʻAʻole wale kaʻono, akā, no ka meaʻai. ʻO ka'izai kahiʻohe, nā pāmua, nā huaʻaila a me nā minela. ʻO kaʻaiʻana mai ia mea ua maʻalahi ka manaʻo.
I nā'āina e like me Kina a me Iapana,ʻo ka laiki ke kumu o kaʻaiʻana o nā mea noho. Ma nā'āinaʻo'Asiaia, uaʻailaʻia ka laiki me ka pilafī maikaʻi, a he mau meaʻai no kēlā me kēia kanaka a me nā mea huna o ka kukeʻana i kēia meaʻaiʻono. Uaʻikeʻia nā meaʻItalia ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa no kona risotto. ʻO ka honua holoʻokoʻa me kaʻoluʻolu nui eʻai i ka raiki i kēlā me kēiaʻaoʻao. Hoʻopiliʻia me ka hoʻohuiʻana o nā meaʻala likeʻole a lawelaweʻia i ka papaʻaina. Ma Kina,ʻo ka inu maʻamau ka laiki i hanaʻia i ka raiki - no ka mea. Aʻo kahi laiki kahi iʻaila ai i kaʻawaʻawa lewa no ka hana kī. Hāpai ka laiki ākea i ka popcorn, alohaʻia e nā mākua a me nā keiki.
Ma mua o kou hoʻomakaʻana e hoʻomākaukau i ka mea i makemakeʻia mai ka laiki, ponoʻoe e koho i ka mākau kūpono o kēiaʻai. ʻO ka laikiʻoi lōʻihi loa. He hua liʻiliʻi keʻokeʻo lōʻihi keʻokeʻo. Ke hoʻohanaʻia nei kēiaʻano raiki no ka kukeʻana i nā plov, nā pāʻani a me nā meaʻai. ʻO nāʻano maikaʻi loa he jasmine a me basmati. Kū nāʻano basmati ma ka'ākau o India e kokoke ana i nā kuahiwi o ka Himalayan a ma kekahi mau wahi o Pakistan. Ua uluʻo Jasmine ma Thailand, ua kapaʻiaʻo ia "kahi laiki'alalani Thai".
Hoʻokomoʻia ka laikiʻeha i ka lawaiʻa. Ma muli o keʻano o ka hoʻohanaʻiaʻana o kēiaʻano likeʻole no ka kukeʻana i ka paʻakai a me ke risotto. I ka wā o kaʻohi bahi kahi maloʻo maloʻo e hāʻawi ana i kahi kūpono kūpono. Ma muli o ke kūpaʻa e pili ana i ka mākiko o loko, hoʻohanaʻia kēiaʻano laiki i ka hoʻomākaukauʻana i nā sushi a me nā'ōwili.
Ua lilo koke nā kākoʻo o nā nohona olakino i meaʻoluʻolu i ka lauiki laiki. Hāʻawiʻia kēia laiki i kekahi ela pāla i nā meaʻai. Akā, ua mākaukau ka laiki i ka lōʻihi ma mua o ka wā maʻamau, akā he mea liʻiliʻi. ʻO kona hewa kēia.
ʻO ke kīlaʻauʻulaʻula me nā hua'ōpuni i ulu mauʻia e Thailand, i kēia manawa i mahiʻia ma ka hema o Farani. I kēia manawa, he mea kaulana loa kēiaʻano likeʻole ma muli o konaʻala e like me keʻano o ka wolina mai kahi kīnaʻi o nā kīʻaha a me nā salama. I nā makahiki he nui i hala aku nei, uaʻikeʻia kēiaʻano likeʻole he weu aʻaʻole hoʻohanaʻia i ka meaʻai.
Hoʻopau kēia i kā mākou huakaʻi i ka laiki. E koho i kahi kīʻaha a me kahi laiki no ia mea. I kēia manawa hiki iāʻoe ke hana pono, a ... hoʻomākaukau i kahi laiki maikaʻi.
