Mattinese cuisine shows substantial influences from Indo-European peoples, but few dishes are still shared with the Kuvimo people.

Traditionally Mattinese people eat cereal grains, barley and wheats are the most important among them. Meat are an important part of their diet and meat is highly valued in Mattinese culture. Beef, pork, muttons and chickens are all common types of meat among Mattinese people; besides steaks, sausages, bacons and hams are also common among Mattinese people.

Flour made of wheat and roasted barley is one of the most common food materials of Mattinese people. Traditionally, wheat and barley flour are made into dumplings or porridge by being blended with water, occasionally beer, tea or milk. The dumplings and the porridge made of wheat and barley flour are called do and manst respectively in the Mattinese language. Similar dishes made of wheat and barley flour can also be seen in other Garric peoples like the Kuvimo people. The barley flour is made of roasted barley.

Besides do and manst, Mattinese people traditionally also eat breads and cakes made of wheat flour, barley flour, or a mixture of wheat and barley flour. A kind of barley bread called kent is considered the staple food of Mattinese people; besides kent, flatbread made of barley and wheat called meem are also pretty common. do, manst, kent and sometimes meem are seen as some representations of traditional Mattinese dishes.

As for meat dishes, steaks have always been popular among Mattinese people, especially wealthier ones. Mattinese beaf steaks were so famous, to the degree that steaks was almost a pronoun of Mattinese people during the 18th and 19th century.

In modern times, hamburgers, sandwiches, fried doughs(like doughnuts) and fried potatoes have become widely popular among Mattinese people.

[edit] [top]Grain-based Dishes

Doh

Doh is a dish made of glutinous meal made from roasted flour, usually barley flour and sometimes also wheat flour. It is usually mixed with salt and water. Do is similar to the Kuvimo tuko and to a lesser extent Tibetan tsampa.

Manst

Manst is a more watery variant of doh, like doh, it is a dish made of glutinous meal made from roasted flour, usually barley flour and sometimes also wheat flour. It is usually mixed with salt and water. Manst is usually a gruel made of barley flour; however, in  Mattinese the word Manst can indicate porridge and gruel in general.

Mattinese manst shares the same root as Kuvimo monto; also due to continuous close contacts with Indo-European speakers, milk and dairy products were introduced to Mattinese society as a result of cultural contact with Indo-European peoples. As a result of this cultural contact, some variants of Mattinese manst might have butter and milk as additional ingredients. Manst made of milk are similar to kama/talkkuna of Estonia, Finland and Russia.
