Thought I’d ask this because I want to discover more foods from across the world
(Also I shouldn’t have to say this to americans, please state where you are from and state where you are from without acronyms or shortened names because I’ve seen US Defaultism on lemmy and not all of us are going to know your acronyms considering we’re global users)
Furikake shrimp chips.
With potatoes and mettwurst! Yum!!! Now I need to make Grünkohl before it’s too warm outside to eat kale.
A few kg of meat, traditionally (in the rhine-area) from horse, nowadays more beef, marinated for 1+ month in a few litres of wine and vinegar, with some vegetables. Slowly cooked so it disintegrates on your fork.
The sauce you get from Sauerbraten is sooooo good, too - goes well with any veggies and/or pasta to eat alongside it.
Yep, we always save a lot of sauce for later in the year, as we (my family) only makes it one time a year, for christmas (on the 25th and 26th). With dumplings on the 25th and noodles on the 26th.
merjimek chorbasy - is a lentil soup, I think it’s originally turkish. nohutli et - lamb stew with chickpeas. yantyq - pie with minced lamb fried in a pan without fat. I’m originally from Crimea, Ukraine.
Pepperoni rolls from West Virginia, and it’s not even close. Simple and easy to make, last unrefrigerated, and I can eat about 40 of em if I’m not careful.
I listed them first too, despite never having had them (raised vegetarian.) Ive been meaning to try my hand at making them with some “vegan pepperoni”, but I suspect I’d hate it because Ive spent my life avoiding things that taste like meat.
Belgium: vol au vent with Fries
From approximately the french Alps: Ravioles du Dauphiné or Tartiflette
Thailand - gaeng tai pla, som tam, mango sticky rice. First 2 are really spicy, so probably not for everyone.
gaeng tai pla
Is it the same as “Kaeng tai pla”?
Yes, just different transliteration. A Croatian magazine actually ranked it as the worst food in the world, which we Thai took offense for hahaha. https://www.nationthailand.com/life/food/40036968
Add to that jungle curry, gaeng pa!!! Also very spicy.
Burritos. Like most burritos.
Do you mean local like within my own city or regionally/by country?
Countrywide: Hotdogs are the first thing I think of when I think “American food.”
Statewide (California): The sour dough bread bowls at the San Francisco wharf are amazing as fuck.
In my city: The best thing here are taco trucks. There’s even a whole dedicated parking area for a bunch of them to gather downtown called “Grub Hubs.”
There’s not a lot of things I’m envious about when it comes to the US
But good and cheap tacos are one of them
I almost mentioned the sourdough bread bowls because SF is known for their sourdough and those are tasty.
It’s really tourist food though. The local soup is Cioppino but I never see it served in a bread bowl.
Mission style burritos are tasty.
I also like California style pizza so long as the toppings aren’t too weird.
Hell yeah!
The picture in the Wikipedia article for california style Pizza doesn’t look very appealing
Too much veg on that one. Scroll down for an egg pizza from Chez Panisse.
Sarmale
I’m Belgian so only one answer is allowed
Belgian fries with mayonnaise and Flemish stew
Weirdly the replies to your comment won’t load on the lemmy instance I’m on, don’t know about other instances
They do seem to load on your instance so I’m thinking it’s some sort of federation issue
Anyways here’s a screenshot for anyone else who can’t see the replies
I pick vol au vent. 😁
Very admirable, it’s a good choice
If you take it with fries, of course 😁
This interaction is basically me at a restaurant
Allez, een Américain Frites alsteblief !
As neighbor Dutchy, I can agree! Delicious.
Norwegian, here. Lutefisk is incredible if done right, but it’s easy to fuck up severely. So if someone were to try and cook something based on my recommendation, I’d suggest Fårikål or Pinnekjøtt instead, as they’re both incredibly easy to make.
My ex’s mum would make this at Christmas and it was horrifying.
Visited my norwegian family over the new year, and got to try pinnekjøtt. Very tasty, if a bit annoying to get the meat off of the bones.
In my opinion, that means it’s not done yet. Since it’s mostly a steaming process, you can leave it in as long as you want to. I usually put it on in the morning, and just add a little water throughout the day to make sure it does not dry out. Then 20 minutes in the oven before serving.
That way it usually falls off the bone easily.
Now I’m curious to try “good” lutefisk. I grew up hearing about how exceptionally awful it is.
Same. Didn’t try it until I was in my 30’s and it was kinda meh at best… until I tried a well made one later.
The Seattle Dog.
Basically, a hot dog with cream cheese and sauteed onions.
Its not as common as it once was, afaik you can only get it from street vendors in a few spots, or maybe way overpay for one at a restaurant or two.
… It is from Seattle, Washington State, USA.
Mmmm. Don’t forget the Sriracha.
You know, apparently this is heresy in Seattle, but I’m not a big fan of Sriracha.
Its… ok?
Too sugary for me.
