I haven’t read the entire topic, so I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this, but in sweden (mostly in the northern part of the country I beleve) there is a tradition of eating fermented herring, “Surströmming”.
It’s basically herring that has been sealed up in a tin can until it rots and builds up a pressure of stinky fart gas.
When it’s opened, an awful smell of death sprays out and stinks up the whole neghbourhood.
It’s known as one of the smelliest foods in the world.
I’ve never smelled it, but it’s said to be really nasty. https://www.northerner.com/p_images/swedish_fermented_herring.jpg
I just enjoyed some wonderful homemade Cuban Caldozo. It’s a soup made with Yuca, Calbaza (squash), pork, potatoes, garlic, onons, cumin, salt, and other ingredients depending on the cook. It is sooooo delicious.
My favorite though is called Ropa Vieja, which means “old clothes.” It is a dish prepared with Stringed beef made with lots of garlic and red peppers. It is usually accompanied by morros y cristianos (moors and Christians) which is rice with black beans and yuca and platanos maduros which are fried bananas.
Eu basicly seems to want to destroy anything being culture in individual countries… Just look at how they wanted to ban the british taxies and i believe they actually managed to ban the british double decker bus.
Well, not really. I’ve actually only had them a few times. Good, but I’m not sure what everyone is so fanatical about. The weird thing about eating crabs is that it’s really not so much what the crabs taste like, it’s more about the crazy salty spices they’re covered in. My cousin ordered some kind of crab pasta at a restaurant and kept saying it tasted weird because it didn’t have Old Bay in it.
I know for sure that they wanted to ban it. And then i read lately about how the classic double decker is gonna be retired, which was rumored to be because of the new EU security regulations regarding public transportation.
San Francisco’s got a lot of places to eat–ChinaTown is a nice spot, but Jack London Square has some great places, too–but then there’s the Fisherman’s Warf…
Seafood, Asian food, fast food, barbecue …mmmm–I can smell the food through my hotel window…
I think it’s just the routemaster buses being retired.
I saw an article saying that more modern double-deckers are being put on the roads and also a new double length bus with only one floor called the Bendy is now being used. However most people prefer the old routemaster buses.
Oh and the EU haven’t tried to ban fish and chips (as far as I know) which is supposed to be England’s national dish. Nobody even seems to eat fish and chips very much, but it’s still the national dish.
At my house anything and everything. But traditional to my culture, a customary dish at my home consists of white rice, stewed beans and steak with tostones (fried platanos)or salad. My kids love this dinner the most.
