SigynRose
What's Hangi? And is it tasty and easy to make?

Lightly fried I presume? Wait, that's fish fillets, never mind, carry on.
SigynRose
Not as lightly as I would like

Gotta be chicken cutlet
SigynRose
Nope, just bread

"Fried bread" they call em "toutons" down here.
SigynRose
Where are you from? I'm pretty sure this is a more northern term. I'm Texan but I got absorbed by my bf's native family
BennyBlancoFromTheBronxx
I'm in Newfoundland, Canada and they call em "toutons" lol
SigynRose
Cool! I thought toutons were a kind of cookie for some reason
BennyBlancoFromTheBronxx
Where's your bf from? How far north?
SigynRose
He's from North Dakota, that's very far north to me

Not bad! You use sugar or honey to get the golden brown? Also, what nation?
SigynRose
I made them for my bf who was feeling homesick. He's Chippewa if that's what you mean by nation. I'm still new to the culture and lingo
SigynRose
I'm white af but his family is really cool and they love to teach me new things
relaximusprime
If you make good bread, you're in with the whole family (except grandma. cause nobody beats grandma's frybread).
SigynRose
I sure hope so. His mom is bothered that he's dating a white girl but all of his aunts and family on his dad's side are very sweet
relaximusprime
Correct on the nation part! I'm Nakoda (Assiniboine) myself and my gf is Yanktonai Sioux. We make frybread all the time. ????

1 Hey! That means the languages come from the same tree! I'm a total language nerd! I learned all the Scandinavian languages for fun now I'm
SigynRose
3 it's kind of embarrassing but I'm already partially fluent in Ojibwe because my bf said he wanted to learn it so I'm learning to teach him
SigynRose
2 but now that I've been shown the languages from across America they've become my favorite. How they all sound and relate is my favorite!

4 I know Latin, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and Latvian. Please don't think I'm doing the anthropology or the cultural appropriation thing
