Name a popular food/dish from your area

[Strat]

I'm fascinated with culture, I love expanding my palette and trying new foods. So I'd like to hear from folks across the world what some popular dishes are from their area. I would especially love to hear from African Avalonians.

Please try to keep the foods you post about more or less native to your region without getting too technical. I like Chinese food but it didn't originate in Florida.

So to kick things off, seafood is very popular in north Florida. Ever since the natives got here humans have been fishing the rivers. We have lots of rivers and fresh fish. Most seafood restaurants around here have extremely fresh seafood that was caught locally. My friend works for a company that gets the fish fresh off the boat. They clean and deliver them to various restaurants. It's not hard to find a restaurant with a deck on the water so you can eat outside and get spectacular views of the sun setting.

Another common food variety around here is southern comfort food or soul food. This can vary, but common southern comfort foods would be a meat like pulled pork or rotisserie chicken (etc), macaroni and cheese and collard greens. There's quite a bit of variety when it comes to soul food. I absolutely love it.

So what about you?

Although Romania has access to the Black Sea and are different varieties of food from one region to another, we have a "diet" focused more on meat, especially in very mountainous areas:

The "little ones" (beef, sheep and pork, red wine, paprika, thyme, pepper and necessarily garlic), are fried on the grill and are served with fresh bread, mustard and cold beer- (usually cheap)

Salmon dishes, particularly well known for candied salmon in my area:

'Candied Wild Smoked Salmon is a local specialty from Canada's West Coast
Candied salmon, sometimes called Indian Candy is brined, sugared and heavily smoked, creating a very flavourful, slightly chewy treat. Candied Salmon is heat processed, so that it will keep without refrigeration
Simple Serving Suggestions
Top a bed of greens with candied salmon, broken into bite-sized pieces, or enjoy with fresh baguette and a glass of dry white wine.

Ingredients
wild pink salmon, sugar, sea salt, soy sauce (filtered water, certified organic whole soy beans, certified organic wheat, sea salt, brewing starter – aspergillus sojae), spices, natural hardwood smoke'

Not from my direct area, but from the other end of Canada (which is like a different country, lol) I have to mention the Nova Scotian donair, or "Halifax" donair.

I love donairs but when I was in Calgary all I ever had were the authentic middle eastern versions (gyros) - which I love. Apparently, quite a few people from back east that are familiar with the "Halifax" donair, don't actually know that its based on a middle eastern style sandwich.

My buddy from Nova Scotia was out in Calgary visiting, and he once said "too bad you guys don't have donairs out here", to which I responded "what are you talking about there's almost as many mid-east sandwich shops here as there are Timmies." That left him with a puzzled look, as he thought the "donair" was a Nova Scotia invention and didn't realize that it was just a take on an already existing food. (EDIT: well it looks like the "donair" is a Nova Scotia invention, but its based off the greek gyro)

Anyway, the pizza shop here in my small town makes them - "nova scotia style" and I had one a few weeks ago, and while different from the regular mid east version, equally as good for certain.

Hello Anka, wow this bread with soup is just amazing looks very yummy, never seen anything like this before, if it is easy for you could you please share the recipe?

[Iancorgi]

My three favorite Northern Thai dishes:

แกงคั่วไก่ Kaeng Tua Kai (Roasted chicken curry)

46020

ข้าวซอย Kao Soy

Northern Thai khao soi is closer to the present day Burmese ohn no khao swè, being a soup-like dish made with a mix of deep-fried crispy egg noodles and boiled egg noodles, pickled mustard greens, shallots, lime, ground chillies fried in oil, and meat in a curry-like sauce containing coconut milk. The curry is somewhat similar to that of yellow or massaman curry but of a thinner consistency. It is popular as a street dish eaten by Thai people in northern Thailand.

46019


"Miang Kham" Betel Leaf Wrap เมี่ยงคำ

Miang kham mostly consists of raw fresh Piper sarmentosum (Thai: ชะพลู, RTGS: chaphlu) or Erythrina fusca (Thai: ทองหลาง, RTGS: thonglang) leaves that are filled with roasted coconut shavings and the following main ingredients chopped or cut into small pieces:

Shallots
Fresh red or green bird's eye chili peppers
Ginger
Garlic
Lime (Citrus aurantifolia), including the peel
Roasted Coconut
Chopped unsalted peanuts or cashew nuts
Small dried shrimps

Hello Anka, wow this bread with soup is just amazing looks very yummy, never seen anything like this before, if it is easy for you could you please share the recipe?

Thanks for the interest palehorse! :heart:
For homemade bread we use quality white flour (500 gr.), Fresh or dry yeast (50 gr.) And hot water-approx. 300 ml, at 30 degrees (for uniform activation of the yeast), mix and leave to rise until the dough rises twice, carefully place the dough in a pot with a lid, preheated, and bake in the oven at 250 degrees the first 30 minutes and 200 degrees the next 30 minutes, without a lid to make the crispy crust. You will get a delicious bread as in the movie below (I'm sorry it has no English subtitles).

For the bean soup I use smoked meat as in the picture below. It is very easy to make.Well ...:blushing: my husband does it, he knows what kind of wood is needed for a good taste (Beech for color, cherry and plum for taste), we get the sawdust for free from a wood and furniture factory, near us.

https://i.postimg.cc/PqHLVVss/rohen-Speck.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/JzZDqVF5/R-ucherspeck.jpg

I buy meat from neighbors, very cheap (sometimes we trade with my vegetables or fruits from the garden); cut the meat, rub with coarse salt and spices (ground pepper, ground fenugreek and any spice you like) and leave it all in a bowl at refrigerator for 24 hours for the meat to extract the necessary spices and salt on its own. They are smoked (in a barrel with fine sawdust underneath, which is slowly ignited.
and it looks like that(ready in 4-5 hours)
https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse3.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.5folmFG5edTF3ngyvO7x5gHaFj%26pid%3DApi&f=1


For the bean recipe:

Take dried beans (I grow them in the garden and freeze them, because in trade and warehouses they are sprayed against mice and bugs). Put the beans the day before in a bowl of water so that it swells until morning (boiling time and implicitly the gas consumption is shorter). Boil in water for 3 minutes after which that water is thrown away ( for easier digestion).
I cook it like this:
In a pot I throw a piece of table butter, chop suitable pieces of meat that I put to fry in the pot, in that butter (just enough to catch a thin crust, maybe only 2 minutes), I add chopped onion (amount after as desired), sweet peppers, parsnips, celery, carrots - all chopped into small cubes, add in that butter and fry until quenched with tomato sauce, a little milk, add spices like paprika powder, pepper , tarragon or bay leaf, add the beans, and bring to a boil (stirring occasionally but slow), hot water is added during boiling.
When the beans are cooked and soft, the bean soup is ready to be served.:flower:
...and sprinkle chopped green larch on top.
Cut a lid from the bread, scoop out the bread with a spoon and place the hot bean soup in it. It is eaten with very hot peppers. It is an extremely nutritious, very traditional meal, usually the Romanians cook it in each house differently, with what they find, but is often actually used smoked pork chop, or homemade sausages:)

For a shorter cooking time, you can also use canned beans (which is added at the end, because it is already cooked) and you can use bread (much harder-drier) than that for burgers.


A small example(not necessarily like soup) with bought sausages and canned beans:)

Wow thank you very much for all the details, I will show my wife and ask for help :)
The smoked meat, that's my weak point, I love that stuff, I could eat only this my entire life, anything smoked is good, sure this dish will be part of our family menu as soon as we master how to make it properly, we have a small recipe book written by hand with food from diverse locations that we tried and liked, and every since in a while we cook it.

Anka, how do you call this dish in your native language? I like to write it in our book with their original name.

The Padthai is a national dish, you can find it all over Thailand, sure the most popular dish over here, some folks say the dish is more than 300 years old and was brought by the Chineses, others say the dish was invented during the second war when they had shortage of rice due to the war and very bad flood at the same time, the dictator at the time then start producing the rice noodles because it was more economical than rice to feed the people. But that's the history I heard.
Basically it takes: rice noodles, eggs, fresh shrimp or chicken, tofu, crushed peanuts, spring onions, grounded pepper, vinegar, palm sugar, dried tiny shrimp (powder or the dried tiny ones), bean sprouts, fish sauce, and Padthai sauce (not sure what is in there but it taste good :) ) but as you said in your recipe there is variations and some folks use this or that as ingredients, the same applies for Padthai.

Thanks again :handshake:

Normally I cook things that I like that are not really specialties of the region where I live. Tomorrow I'm starting my new spring roll season, it's not Alsatian. Today it was a cabbage stew with carrot, potatoes and a morteau sausage which is not an Alsatian product like sauerkraut, which I do not eat.

Veggie Corn Tacos, Chile Rellenos and Enchiladas here.

In Tsimayo*, New Mexico, all with twists from a varied vegetarian and dairy diet, based on Indian/from India cooking. Although I have cut down on dairy I will add a bit of raw milk cheddar cheese, or other cheeses based on Indian cuisine, to these dishes. Maybe later to cut dairy out altogether.

This with variants of our own dried chile from here and a touch of roasted green chile that friends somehow see as their duty to give me, so much so I end up giving some frozen bags of green chile away. I occasionally add pinyone/pinon nuts from trips gathering them during the season, but I chop them up finely and add to taste, sometimes roasting them with a little flavor.

I make a saute'd dish of onions, garlic, mushrooms and other spices, ginger, veg.bullion, cilantro, parsley, turmeric, etc..

I cook the 3 sister plants together, (pre-soaked beans, steamed corn and squash) as the veggie base, with a little butter added for taste. Add dark green lettuce and olives, then add some more homemade salsa to taste. It's like the tacos can barely hold it all in.

This basic menu coming from years of having indigenous friends of Tewa, DeeNeh/or Dine/not the N word, San Ildefonso, Apache, Cherokee, Taos, Oke Owingeh, Nambe ..... We've kept the sacred corn from Robert Mirabal and others, as gifts for me and my son in a special place, instead of planting them. I'll get some more when I plant again, as i grew the tastiest corn and summer squash growing up. We all know how much better the food tastes when we grow it, nurture it, ourselves. It tastes better. We eat it a little slower. We are energized by it longer.

I cook with very little oil, mainly a little coconut oil, or a little cold pressed olive oil. I prefer to use water when pan frying.

There are so many variants of these dishes that we've done, with additions, but the green and red chiles do make a great difference. I think the key is treating them as special ingredients and not overloading your plate with them, like they do in the restaurants here.

Because I've taken chili powder for my health and exercise for decades now, it was easy to get into the variation of using native grown chiles in cooking.....even as it took a while to find my heat quotient.


Here's a bit of some history of our area and what's happening with the food here.....

The great thing here in the Southwest U.S. is the indigenous restart of their native menus, which are in great contrast to the super UNhealthy, excess use of cooking in oil, i.e. sopapillas, with honey no less, and using white flour for burritos, and sopapillas, etc., which are diabetic disaster recipes, especially for natives.

If you live in the area or want to see some indigenous cooking shows, the channel FNX, First Nations Experience, gets deep into some native dishes as well as keeping up on health issues concerning access to healthy diets, the do's and don'ts included.


Hopefully, the state will pass bills to promote the hemp industry, which will include it's introduction into the cooking here. I see the natural growth of that industry as being a missing ingredient in getting more landowners here to grow their own food.

The majordomos who run the acequia/irrigation systems here, with our community help in the springtime, have been trying to push the growth of a new industry with hemp, which is in context here as it will increase a wide variety of growers naturally including edible foods for home use and sale. It will be beyond the many, many fallow apricot and apple orchards in the area, neglected by each successive generation in the north, which is quite a shame as the apricots could be harvested and dried for sale, or at the least be used to make drinks, liqueurs.

The new emphasis on growing your own food with some extra for sharing and sales will be welcome. For me it's meeting the cooks with the varieties they share, from here and from all over, just like in this thread.

The most memorable times this last year of volunteering was getting to have the best vegetarian lunches from different groups, different people, some who are not vegetarians but who did their best in accommodating us. I'd go back to some places, if time permits, just for the food and the hospitality, which is a very accurate way of knowing your services were appreciated and that they shared their best..



*Yes, it's TsiMayo, the "Beautiful Meadow" in Tewa-THEIR Sacred Site, way before the invaders came. It's NOT Chimayo, "little pebbles, little rocks"....more on that some other time.

I've lived here for a long time....and "little pebbles" does fit if you live here and are inundated with rocks coming down the unpaved roads that become rivers during heavy rains. Big, soulful difference that has a lot to do with the agriculture here and it's history, which will have some dramatic changes in the near future, especially if we get more local food on the table.

[Alecs]

I'd have to say pizza, New York style. That's essentially it.

A century or two ago, the region where I live had huge influxes of Europeans who essentially formed enclaves amongst the rolling hills. Each brough their own food traditions, as well as had Black Americans. Today, with ancestral cultural heritages essentially dissolved, you may still find a local bar, tavern, or church that serves Americanized versions of their traditional foods. I can also say that the Indians and Asians who most recently came to this region do (still) eat traditional foods of their cultures.

If this region had not been so ecologically devistated by industrialization etc. over the last century, there may have emerged new food traditions of freshwater fish, berries, wild mushrooms, chestnuts, and other nuts. As it is, it's difficult to even find any native American dishes of squash, corn, and beans.

Dear Strat !!!

You are invited to Romania, and we hope you gain 10 pounds !!:happythumbsup:
We see the movie from the beginning:)
"Zacusca" or vegetable jam, since the beginning of the film, we here do it every year, it takes us 8 months to grow vegetables and it takes us a few good hours to make it, but for a winter with cans it's worth it, we do it exactly the same as in the movie below (with English subtitles), but we don't put garlic, it's optional anyway. The jars preserved with zacusca stay for 3 years, and are very tasty in winter when they are cold spread on a hot slice of toast.

The intake of vitamins is indisputable and goes well with the taste.
You can drink a cold apple nectar (made by me at home), drink a glass without breathing and you have immunity assured for the current day:)
Smoked bacon, farm eggs, and homemade pate, I also put hot peppers preserved by me.
I took a special picture for you, with the morning snack :) just as an appetizer before lunch.

Mashed vegetables, traditionally called "Zacusca" is found in any farmhouse in Romania and each has a different taste, others put zucchini instead of eggplant, or it is made only from mushrooms, anyway Europeans like that.

Thank you and be Blessed and be Healthy Strat!

[I am B]

Its probably not the most elaborate (or even tasyest) of the great recipes we got here, but "calçots" are my favourite.

Its an old tradition of eating a special kind of elongated onions cooked on a wood fireplace, and dipping them on some nice sauce (romesco or salvitxada) , often accompained with some meat afterwards, and a truckload of wine.

It is a healthy and tasty meal, but the cool part of it is reuniting family and friends around the table, like a special kind of barbecue.

If any of you guys end up visiting catalonia on winter/spring, you should definetly try it out.

I come from the eastern part of Croatia named Slavonia, where is the corn and food production for bigger Parts of Croatia.

Its a beautiful area with big tradition and culture overall and also in preparing food and sweet cookies.

Here are the standard wedding 500+ people and go few days along with lot of food and rakija :-)

This is a very typical dish served where I live. This gal knows what she's doing and the food looks great! There are variations to the dish like collard greens instead of green beans or BBQ ribs or brisket (my fav) etc etc. I would say that in my opinion the macaroni and cheese and cornbread are mandatory.

what about hot chicken? I love it. I think they're calling it Nashville Hot Chicken nowadays, but it's been associated with soul food for ages. I think there's even a hot chicken and waffles chain in Los Angeles -- Roscoes?

About as far from Haute cuisine as is possible, popular dishes from my region are fish and chips, pies, curry, etc...
Any branch of Greggs (a bakery) is always likely to have queues forming for cheap and cheerful sausage rolls, different types of pies, sandwiches....

This is exactly what I was going to say, including Greggs which I went to today and was talking about with friends earlier.

But add in apple crumble and custard! I could throw in an Eton mess but it sounds wrong I haven't been able to eat one.

I haven't heard of hot chicken? Chicken and waffles is really popular though.

It's just southern fried chicken with cayenne powder and smoked paprika added

Since im from Germany, here is a classic Streetfood the famous Currywurst (sometimes i miss it alot)

But im living in Peru and the most famous Dish here is Cebiche Peruano. (Raw Fish)

https://www.recetasderechupete.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/ceviche_pescado_peruano.jpg

A great vegetarian option would be Papa la Huancaina

I consider myself a time travelling earthling, so here is my contribution today. A YT cowboy-cook, Kent Rollins, gives a historical talk about how ranging- or driving- cowpokes were fed, back in the day. Also adds about how his current gig works (hint: they eat better now).

Pride of Russia, since Soviet times.

We have revolutionized the cup noodle

“The Mikoyan and Gurevich Design Bureau has been the symbol of Soviet dominance in aviation and aerospace for over forty years. We are proud to unveil the next chapter of Mikoyan-Gurevich superiority in design and engineering. As expected of a product of fallacious western ideology, the cup noodle is fragile, impractical, incapable, and anemic. With a low service ceiling and a slow maximum rated speed, the current iteration of cup noodles is thoroughly useless for practical use and completely unfit for Soviet consumption. The cup noodle is outdated and in desperate need of modernization. That is why the Mikoyan-Gurevich cup noodle will be manufactured using nickel-steel alloy, enabling it to withstand speeds of over three thousand kilometers per hour. In addition, the availability of this material will allow the Mikoyan-Gurevich to be manufactured on a grander scale that will inevitably lead to the domination of the Mikoyan-Gurevich cup noodle as it fills the shelves of markets everywhere and puts all other cup noodles to shame with its superior design and durability.“
