“The reason why I love Lao culture is
because we always celebrate with large masses of people…”
- Nathan Luangaphay, 14, He/Him, New York
“…
whether it's
just a birthday
party or Lao New Year.”
“Where I live (NY),
we go to a temple where we pray…”
“...and/or party. Like on Lao New Years, Lao families from all over NY would come together to celebrate the New Year with a huge festival.”
We also have good tasting food such as
Lao sausage, made with ground fatty pork that’s seasoned with lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, shallots, cilantro, chillies, garlic, salt, sticky rice and fish sauce.
But my favorite spicy dish is Green papaya salad is a spicy salad made from shredded papaya.
