Arroz Mexicano (literally Mexican rice). It’s simple and quick to make but the flavor is vibrant and comforting at the same time. And if you top it with a fried egg (slightly less traditional) then it’s a full hearty meal!
Ratatouille
So easy to make. So good
Grilled dried salted mackerel. Can recommend. Saba bunka-boshi.
Gumbo. Usually I put chicken and sausage in it, but if I can get some good shrimp and crab, that’s the tops.
How do you make your shrimp and crab gumbo?
kibbeh. I don’t make it in a very traditional way I think. Its the way my Syrian mom taught me. Basically a meatloaf with equal parts lamb and beef. Bulgur wheat, onions, pine nuts and lots of seasonings (cinnamon is the wild card and most distinctive part).
Pierogi
With kielbasa and cabbage. Yummy.
And fried onions and sour cream.
All cooked up in enough butter to drown a small child.
Enchiladas de mole!
Chnöpfli (similar to Spätzle). Central Swiss wheat pasta.
Knöpfe, Allgäu. Nicht nur Schweiz 😁 (die einzig wahren Käsespätzle)
Raw radish. Little bit of salt.
Hesperollekes! Chicory wrapped in ham and baked in a cheese sauce. My ultimate comfort food.
Ooo is it Greek?
It’s from Flanders (northern part of Belgium)
My homeland has a delicacy called pork roll that I enjoy very much. I bring some back with me every time I visit.
It’s called Taylor Ham, you cretin!
Jokes aside, a breakfast bagel sandwich is truly a wonderful thing to behold. Had one with whitefish and scallion cream cheese this morning myself.
Semmelknödel
Spinatknödel! Leberknödelsuppe! Kaspressknödel!
Haggis
Delicious when prepared right. I ate good, excellent and rubbish haggis. Rubbish was just oats, barely anything else or let alone flavour. Must have been made according to an English recipe 😈
Shouldn’t it be a traditional dish we love to make?
Make or eat. Honestly, there are some traditional foods I love to eat but I don’t want to make them myself because they’re time consuming.
