Food around the world!
 
I love food! Especially new stuff I never eat before but if I would name a country were the food is always good I would say Greece!!! What's your favorite native food???? I love to hear new stuff to try :))

Potironette 01-08-2017 10:30 AM

Greece food! I've never tried it D:

Native food, hmm..American food? What is that? American versions of food from other countries, and steak and burgers? Haha, I wouldn't say I have a favorite American food xD.

Hmm, but since my family's Chinese, I got to eat a lot of that as a kid. I love steamed winter melons. They look like this but without the meat stuffing xD :

That winter melon sure looks interesting. I'm not sure if I've tried it before or not.

As for Greek food, I've had gyros, hummus and baklava, which are all pretty tasty. :)

Miss Sandman 01-08-2017 12:16 PM

Is baklava Greek? Iam not sire about xD but gyros is sure tasty and Greek yogurt my altime favorite is still stuffed wine leaf's

Hm. I would say Chinese. I like Chinese food. I have had French chocolate and it is super sweet compared to American chocolate. I think it's actually Belgian chocolate because I was in high school and my French teacher was from Belgium.

Miss Sandman 01-08-2017 12:48 PM

Chinese and Japanese I really like too!!! Mh sweeter chocolate thank usual sounds pretty weird! Isn't chocolate still really sweet? Only chocolate wich is sweet and I like os kinder chocolate from germany ;)

Bassy 01-08-2017 01:22 PM

I've never tried any other. Just Belgian. I couldn't eat it. It's sweeter than American dark chocolate. And of course everyone has had pocky, but I want to go to Japan so bad and just try different kinds of foods. That would be cool.

Winter melon is really soft. Kind of like soft turnips in turnip soup, but without the turnip taste and more full than stringy?

I like Japanese food too. Mostly whatever matcha stuff they have though xD. I love their matcha ice creams.

Fulkth 01-08-2017 03:39 PM

I really like Asian cuisine. Particularly chinese, japanese, thai, and vietnamese.

I like potstickers, eggrolls, sushi, curry, and pho.

Miss Sandman 01-09-2017 06:16 AM

You ever had winter melon tea? Best shit ever when it's hot as holy hell in Taiwan.

Man, but I used to mistake winter melon for daikon in soups, and would get really upset because I'm not a fan of winter melon in anything other than tea form.

As for my favorite cuisines, hm. Cajun stuff is great, but I have a pretty low spiciness tolerance, unfortunately. German food's nice. Occasionally a bit too hearty/heavy for me, but I could probably make a dinner out of just kielbasa and sauerkraut. Or ham shank.

Traditional Hakka dishes are among my favorites, as are Taiwanese dishes. (My mom makes the best Taiwanese food and that's a /fact/, dammit.) I've had almost everything listed under "Regional Specialties" and "Typical Dishes" on the wiki page, and my dad's parents live just down the street from the main/founding store of Dashi/Daxi's famous dried tofu.

There's winter melon tea? I need to find a way to try that now :3!
Espy's Taiwanese?

I'm not sure what's considered "Canadian" food, minus ketchup chips and "brown" gravy. The stereo types would be smoked salmon (west coast), candied salmon, Maple Syrup (Ont. and Quebec), etc. Distinctive stuff would include things like Saskatoon berries (prairies mostly, I think) and maybe salmon berries? Not totally sure. I've had moose but it's not common unless you are a hunter or know one.

Seal flipper pie I've heard as alternatively a staple food in Newfoundland or a joke for tourists. Native American cuisine is becoming a thing and that also covers salmon thing but also things like bannock.

My favourite "ethnic" foods would be general Greek food (going from what I've had here. I like the seasonings) and sushi. Never been to Japan, or anywhere else in Asia, but I lived in Vancouver for a time and it's probably easier to find a sushi joint than it is a fast food chain restaurant.

I'm also a fan of typical British pub food; bangers and mash, Yorkshire puddings, meat pies, fish and chips, etc. Meat and potatoes generally make me happy.

Yeah. It's not really tea as much as, you mix winter melon into a pot of water with sugar, and let that saturate and cool into basically a giant melon-flavored sugar block. And then you stick a bit of that in boiling water and let it cool.

And, um, yes. Least, my parents are.

Potironette 01-13-2017 05:56 PM

Ohh, I find that pretty cool since I feel I don't often see people with asian cultures online xD.

I looked up a bunch of pictures and saw a lot of brown sugar--so that's why there was so many pictures of that!
