50 Delicious World Recipes that Trump would never try

By Teresa Lacerda

The World is becoming a dangerous place. With the rise of Donald Trump to the American presidency we’re seeing an increase in religious and racial intolerance, an increased disdain for foreigners and especially refugees, the construction of “walls” (both physical and metaphorical) and a globalized increase of anger. We’re experiencing the rise of hatred to dramatic levels.

This little book is my small contribution to resist this dangerous, rising tendency by symbolically showing you delicious recipes from the countries that President Trump has recently attempted to ban, i.e. Syria, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Libya and Yemen. Additionally, I have also symbolically included 5 recipes from Mexico.

The World is becoming a dangerous place. With the rise of Donald Trump to the American presidency we’re seeing an increase in religious and racial intolerance, an increased disdain for foreigners and especially refugees, the construction of walls (both physical and metaphorical) and a globalized increase of anger. We’re experiencing the rise of hatred to dramatic levels.

This little book is my small contribution to resist this dangerous, rising tendency by symbolically showing you delicious recipes from the countries that President Trump has recently banned, i.e. Syria, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Libya and Yemen. Additionally, I have also symbolically included 5 recipes from Mexico.

I really don’t know if President Trump has ever or will ever taste the recipes that I’ll be showing in this book, but that doesn’t really matter. What matters is for you to try and taste their food and check how delicious it is.

I do strongly believe that’s it’s over a good meal that strong bonds are formed, that friendships get stronger, that distrust falls apart, that walls collapse, that you get to know the other better, especially if you try their food.

After all, what the vast majority of us all want is to be happy, be healthy, be safe, have a home and protect our children.

This book was made by adapting recipes from the sites and books listed on the bibliography section.
