Every country's culinary delights!

[Shahed]

Let's start with something from Scandinavia.

The delights of a glass of GOOD Swedish Aquavit, some dark bread, smoked reindeer, smoked salmon, pepper sauce, little bit of salad, of course pickled herring.

MMMMmmmmm... Yum!

EH ? Did I say glass ??? I meant BOTTLE !

[InsaneApache]

The British invention.

Ladies and Gentlemen; May I present Chicken Tikka masala

I thank you.

[Caius]

Argentinian Asado

[IrishArmenian]

Lamajun, pilaf, khovorats, chorek, baklava, ponchik, the list goes on. Visit your nearest Haye market/restaraunt, you won't be disappointed.

[pevergreen]

[Shahed]

Great... keep em coming, I've learnt a few new treats to try out already. Does'nt have to be from your own country btw.

EDIT: LOL! The quote in your sig is hilarious pevergreen.

Not a country, but a region... Alabama: Fried green tomatoes. Take tomatoes which are green (too tough to eat normally), dip them in a bread batter, and fry them up. They taste absolutely delicious! They are actually more sugary-sweet than normal tomatoes, and you can swear you were eating a sweet fruit (despite the fact that it IS a fruit) rather than something you put on burgers or a salad.

[Beefy187]

Sushi, Tempura, Sukiyaki from Japan. Ill keep listing later .

[woad&fangs]

Cheese, Cheesecurds, Deep Fried Cheesecurds, Brats.

[Mikeus Caesar]

A good Fish and Chips is quite a nice meal, so as long as you don't have it every day.

I don't know why people say British food is terrible, it's mostly quite nice. And after all, every country has it's disgusting food that only the natives enjoy. Ahem, frogs legs...

[Husar]

Currywurst mit Pommes.

Or curry sausage with fries/chips for you.

I forgot which country I'm from.

The US has too many regional delicacies for me to try and put up one as 'our country's culinary delight!' So I'll just let anyone wondering know that Virginia is known for ham, which isn't that exciting. Couple of hours north we have cheese steaks, and a couple hours south we have the best bbq on the globe (admit it, SFTS), but right here in NoVa, we enjoy other country's delicacies.

Tonight was Pho, for this prole.

Right next door is the best dang place for seafood as well! *loves Maryland crab* If you are there, go to Elkton on the Delaware border and go to a local seafood place called Howard's House. It's expensive, but it has the ABSOLUTE best seafood dishes ever. The coffees are the best too, since they have "country" coffees (coffee with alcohol- Southern is coffee with Southern Comfort, Scottish is coffee with whiskey, etc).

[RoadKill]

Big Mac, Mcdonalds

Just joking. Canada doesn't have any delicacies.

[lars573]

^That's where your mistaken. I know of two, both really bad for your cholestorol levels. ;)

Poutine, a Quebec dish. French fries topped with gravy and cheese. A nice tasty heart attack.

And the Donair (taken from the wiki article)

A variation on the döner kebab known as a Donair was introduced in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada in the early 1970s. A restaurant called King of Donair claims to have been the first to serve this version in 1973.[1]

The meat in this version of the döner kebab (Halifax donair, as it is sometimes referred to) is sliced from a loaf cooked on a vertical spit, made from a combination of ground beef, flour or bread crumbs, and various spices, while the sauce is made from evaporated milk, sugar, vinegar, and garlic. The meat and sauce are served rolled in a flat-bread pita with diced tomato and onion. This version is generally so packed with ingredients, that the pita is almost there for ceremonial purposes; the pita of any true Haligonian donair will be so soaked in sauce that attempts to pick it up will be fruitless.

This version of the donair is very popular throughout the Maritime region of Canada, and is also available in some other areas of the country, with many fast food pizza restaurants also featuring donairs on the menu. Many of them also offer a donair pizza featuring all of the donair ingredients served on a pizza crust. Donair subs are also not uncommon.

Halifax, in particular, seems to take a certain pride in the donair as its own defining fast food. There are long lines to buy them at 4:30 A.M., after the bars close. The donair sauce on its own used to be provided for free though due to it gaining popularity it is often provided for a small fee with garlic fingers or as a pizza topping (e.g., Barbecue chicken pizza with donair sauce) by Halifax pizza restaurants — even local franchises of chains not based in the Halifax Regional Municipality.

If I had to pick one, it would be Waterzooi

Truth be told, the most Swedish meal you'll ever have is probably meatballs and mashed potatoes. There's also the infamous surströmming

I'm of Finnish descent, so I've grown up with the traditional Karelian pierogi. Served warm, and with some butter on, it's probably the simplest yet tastiest thing ever.

[Fragony]

surstromming sounds a lot like we do herring, basicly it's raw rotten fish. It's delicious and very healthy.

edit, learn to read.

Anyways, rotting is a great way of preserving, let's take 'Hazepeper', a dutch traditional dish.



Also buried much like your graflak(?)

Ok, more scandinavian bliss, they are so hard on theirselves but there is great food there. (except the cheese, that is a biological weapon). Speltbr&#248;d with that oily roasted pork, forgot name, with a glass of tykmelk (?)<---that stuff is gorgious, delicious thick fatty milk

[littlelostboy]

Chicken Rice, Roti Prata, Nasi Bryani, Char Kway Teow, Chili Crab, Curry Crab, Pepper Crab (all these first course) and then followed by Ice Kachang (dessert) and finally downed with good ol' Tiger Beer.

That's why the next Singaporean generation are getting fatter.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but you're wrong

France has several regions with somewhat palatable food. Some have matching wines too. A specialty is cheese, which comes in different variations. For an okay experience combine it with bread and wine.*



You can take a brief Tour de France des sp&#233;cialit&#233;s r&#233;gionales in forty pictures here. Traditional and simple regional specialties. Description and recipes unfortunately are in French. But there are plenty of pictures, plus the names of the specialties and regions.


*I am very proud of myself now! A gastronomy thread and I managed to not be irritating!

Korea: Bulgogi. You haven't had steak until you've had bulgogi.
