Where Does Sri Lankan Food Come From? – By Randika Jayakody & Jerome Perera Source :  Qld Sri Lankan Newsletter – Dæhæna – August 2023 The Sri Lankan diaspora is famous for its food. We often congregate around food and it is an important part of the Sri Lankan identity. So, this month we decided to briefly summarise the origins of some Lankan foods we all cherish. According to academics and chefs, the community whose culinary impact on Sri Lanka was most pronounced were the Portuguese community of Sri Lanka. Portuguese nuns immensely contributed to cooking by introducing the holy trinity of oil, onions and garlic and the “themperaadu” technique, which precedes the cooking of many dishes. Cutlets, empanadas, viticulture, the use of vinegar for cooking and preservation (Vinagre became the Sinhala word Vinaakiri). Buns, breads, baked goods such as seenakku, wiskirinja, puhul dosi, custard and cheese (still called Keju ...

A Brief History of Slavery in Sri Lanka – by Randika Jayakody & Jerome Perera Source:Brisbane Sri Lankan Newsletter – Dæhæna – May 2022 Slavery in Sri Lanka has a long and storied history that predated European colonialism. Records show that many communities in ancient Sri Lanka participated in the slave trade, including the Moors, Portuguese, Dutch, British, and the Sinhalese and Sri Lankan kingdoms. Sri Lanka’s slave population originated in the islands of the Indian ocean including Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, and Burma, and individuals from the east and southern coast of the African continent. Though no less cruel, unlike Chattel slavery in the United States, slave populations in ancient Sri Lanka occupied various forms of bondage, which often involved pathways to emancipation. Far from being ineffectual, the female slave populous formed integrated networks of cooperation, facilitating cultural and gastronomic exchange. Once emancipated, these individuals integrated into the ...

The Fascinating Sri Lankan Archipelago – by Randika Jayakody and Jerome Perera Source:Brisbane 4EB Sri Lankan Newsletter – Dæhæna – february 2022 What connects the pristine Pigeon Islands, the jovial sounding Great,Sober Island, and the ominous Bone Island? These are not Caribbean islands from a pirate movie but are in fact islands of Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is often viewed as a single island and this belief occludes the appreciation of the archipelago in its entirety. An archipelago is a collection of islands and a fastidious look at a map of Sri Lanka will reveal a wealth of history dotted around the main isle. Each island has its own rich history and millennia of stories representing an important part of our shared history. Ile du Soleil was named after the “Sun King”, King Louis XIV, during Sri Lanka’s association with France. Fort Hammenhiel was named as the island was thought ...

Colombian Exchange: Effects on Sri Lanka’s Culinary Landscape Source:Brisbane 4EB Sri Lankan Newsletter – Dæhæna – October 2021 Colombian exchange is the anthropological term describing the exchange of produce between the New World (Americas and the Caribbean) and the Old World. This trade was primarily facilitated by the first exploration of Portuguese and Spanish seafarers who not only introduced the fruits and vegetables to their native lands, but also across their colonies. The Columbian Exchange has played an integral role in sculpting the culinary landscape of Sri Lanka. Many fruits and vegetables believed to be quintessentially Sri Lankan have their roots in the Americas. The following are a small sample of the vast number of edible items introduced to Sri Lanka from the Americas: Fruits: Avocado, Chilli Peppers, Guava, Papaya, Passion Fruit, Pine apple, Tomatoes Vegetables: Corn, Manioc, Potatoes, Pumpkin, Sweet Potatoes Nuts: Brazil Nuts, Cashew, Peanuts, Pecans Beans: Kidney, ...
