Anybody else out there with a multi-ethnic background?

I’m Chinese, Mexican, and Dutch. When I grew up in my grandparent’s house (Grandmother from Mexico, Grandfather from China), we always had both salsa and steamed rice with every meal. We had statues of assorted saints and the Virgin Mary right next to statues of Bhudda. (My father, who contributed the Dutch blood, never influenced or impacted my childhood in any way – since he was absent – except for my physical appearance.)

Now, when I crave comfort foods, they are a combination of the odd ethnic foods of my youth. Jook (or congee) and tamales every Christmas Eve. Oolong tea with saladitos (dried salted plums) when I have a sore throat, etc. How about you? How have your diverse ethnicities blended to create your own family culture?
