“…In the context of migration, the diverse ethnic population in Europe and other countries have brought their own food eating habits and increased the diversity of food available in the host country (Khokhar et al, 2013). Therefore, there is growing interest in ethnic food on the global level (Sloan, 2011;D'Antuono and Bignami, 2012;Tey et al, 2018).…”

Globalization, international migration and food promotion via media platforms have led to increased consumption of ethnic food. The main aim of the research is to explore the relation between attitudes and behaviour in the ethnic food consumption. An on-line survey was conducted on a sample of 230 respondents. Most respondents consume ethnic food, mostly on a weekly basis, at home and in restaurants. The largest share of respondents has neutral attitudes towards ethnic food. Respondents with positive attitudes towards ethnic food consume ethnic food more often at home, those with neutral attitudes consume such food in restaurants, while respondents who have negative attitudes about ethnic food consume ethnic food mostly at friend's. The respondents with positive attitudes towards ethnic food give higher importance to all ethnic food attributes. Results of this research can serve producers and distributors of ethnic foods to better suit the demands of modern consumers.Keywords: attitudes, consumers, ethnic food, survey Sažetak Globalizacija, internacionalne migracije i medijski pristup promociji hrane doveli su do rasta konzumacije etničke hrane. Osnovni cilj provedenog istraživanja bio je utvrditi povezanost stavova i ponašanja u konzumaciji etničke hrane. On-line anketno ispitivanje provedeno je na uzorku od 230 ispitanika. Većina ispitanika konzumira etničku hranu, najčešće na tjednoj razini, kod kuće i u restoranima. Najveći udio ispitanika ima neutralne stavove o etničkoj hrani. Ispitanici s pozitivnim stavovima o etničkoj hrani u većem udjelu konzumiraju etničku hranu kod kuće, oni s neutralnim stavovima učestalije konzumiraju takvu hranu u restoranima, dok ispitanici koji imaju negativne stavove o etničkoj hrani u većem udjelu konzumiraju takvu hranu kod prijatelja. Ispitanicima s pozitivnim stavovima o etničkoj hrani važnija su sva ispitana obilježja etničke hrane.

“…109,110 In SHARE, SA Canadians had a higher carbohydrate intake than Europids and Chinese and higher carbohydrate intake was associated with lower HDL cholesterol and higher fasting triglycerides. 111 In a study of South Asian migrants in Canada, most displayed several positive and potentially cardio-protective dietary practices including increased fruits and vegetables and decreased deep frying of food.…”

“…Thus, the arguments can be made that more picture series in our photographic booklet may be favorable rather than using pictures of similar foods. The studies further emphasize the importance of validation studies to test the applicability of photographs for estimating current portions and actual consumption [21,22], especially among immigrant groups [13]. This was not done in this pilot study, but should be considered in the future.…”

“…However, a structured 24-h recall method was considered more appropriate at ages 12 and 24 months. This because the FFQ requires that variations in food habits must be known and included in the food list to develop suitable FFQs [13,14]. The aim of the present study was to develop, pilot test and evaluate a protocol for a 24-h recall procedure, with registration forms and visual tools, to assess the dietary intake of toddlers of Somali- and Iraqi-born mothers living in Norway.…”

The aim of this study was to develop, test, and evaluate a 24-h recall procedure to assess the dietary intake of toddlers of Somali- and Iraqi-born mothers living in Norway. A protocol for a 24-h multiple-pass recall procedure, registration forms, and visual tools (a picture library for food identification and portion size estimation) was developed and tested in 12 mothers from Somalia and Iraq with children aged 10–21 months. Five female field workers were recruited and trained to conduct the interviews. Evaluation data for the 24-h recall procedure were collected from both the mothers and the field workers. Nutrient intake was calculated using a Norwegian dietary calculation system. Each child’s estimated energy intake was compared with its estimated energy requirement. Both the mothers and the field workers found the method feasible and the visual tools useful. The estimated energy intake corresponded well with the estimated energy requirement for most of the children (within mean ± 2 SD, except for three). The pilot study identified the need for additional foods in the picture library and some crucial aspects in training and supervising the field workers to reduce sources of error in the data collection.
