What's up guys and welcome to Sizzling Secrets. This is where we unravel the truth about foods and the traditions behind them. Today we'll be talking first about Ileya, which is a Nigerian tradition. As a Nigerian myself, I've learned a lot about this tradition when I go to Nigeria. It's like a party where everybody gets together and we're able to share food by killing a goat and sharing it throughout the community. In my family, we kill the goat and we share it with our neighbors and everybody around us. This shows how Abraham in the Bible almost sacrificed his son, but instead sacrificed the goat and we sacrifice the goat and share it with our friends and family. Another tradition is Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year is a tradition in China that celebrates the Lunar New Year calendar, which is a different calendar from what we use, which is the Gregorian calendar. During Lunar New Year, people eat things like dumplings to show good fortune, because dumplings are filled with beautiful fillings that taste amazing. And this shows that their yields will be packed with good things and lots of joy and triumph. You've probably had a baguette, but you've never thought of the true resemblance of France that it brings. Baguettes have been going on and been passed down since the 18th century during the reign of King Louis XIV. This shows the lineage and the heritage of the French people, and people love to share this delicacy throughout the world. Another tradition we found out from one of our school staff members, Miss Watson, was chicken divan, which she made during things like Christmas with her grandma. This brings a lot of heritage back for her, and she still proceeds to make it throughout these years for her own children, like Alexa. All in all, this world is full of amazing foods, and I'd love to share more things about you in the next episode of Sizzling Secrets.
