What's for dinner? every countries specialty

EU is looking into our traditional food like dried and smoked fish and pinnekjøtt “dried and salted rib of lamb” which is a common christmas dinner.

And we are not even a member of EU :X

Really? I didn’t think there was anything bad about smoked fish…or anything that had been smoked for that matter.

Dried fish aint smoked .

Bazically its :

Cod that has been hung up for half a year on wooden “ladders” (have no other word :sad: ) and dried .

It might sound terrible ut with no water no bacteries … :confused:

And they tried to ban some special prepared tree in fish selling disks .The norwegians made a test and the tree approved to be BETTER than metal !

Hah ! Beat that !

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.

:yes: Agrees

In Maryland, of course, we eat nothing but crabs. :wink:

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. :tongue:

They never banned the double decker bus in London. Are you sure your not getting your stories confused.

I should know I only live about an hour away from London and to be doubly sure I checked out the BBC website and found nothing there.

In my area, in France, we have the " Quiche Lorraine" which is known from beyrouth to Tombouctou ( or is it ? :tongue: )

And, of course, the famous " omelette au fromage " :grin:

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.

Fast food take out is very popular here in BC, Canada :content: Especially Chinese food.

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…:content:

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.

As bigos were already mentioned - here in Poland we have Kluski, Sauerkraut or Barszcz - but especially Oscypki’s.

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.

road pizza and booze. :nodnodwinkwink:

Hmm, for USSR I’d say pelmeni (it’s kinda like meat in dough, but the dough isn’t like bread, more like pasta, and they’re cooked. My favorite russian food :grin: )

And for Sweden I’d say pytt i panna (it’s like small cubes of potato and meat all mixed up) cause I eat that all the time lol.

Dream on. // Olesia

my family background is italian, so lots of pastas for me.

i love stirfries as well, and curries.

personally i LOVE a huge breakfast more than anything. thats what does it for me. couple of steaks, bacon, eggs, sausages, chops, fried tomatos. a huge plateful of as much as i can fit on it, and im in heaven. add a litre or 2 of juice to that (pineapple and orange) and i am one happy man.

Sounds delicious !

I am reminded by a Filipino dish after seeing a member with a username that is exactly the name of the dish. (I wonder if that member is Filipino…)

Anyway, the dish is called ‘Sinigang’. Its basically a vegetable dish that is characterized by its little sour taste coming usualy from tamarind. Its a very popular dish here that comes in variety, like sinigang na baboy (with pork).

Here is a wikipedia entry about it.

"Sinigang
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Sinigang is a Philippine dish famed for the variety of ingredients one can use as well for its taste. Sinigang is typically sour and is most likened to the French dish Bouillabaisse.

Sinigang is often stewed fish, pork, chicken (usually called “sinampalukan” and cooked with tamarind essence), shrimp, or beef. But the key to a good sinigang is not the meat but the ingredient which makes it sour.

Usually Pork Sinigang, the most commonly prepared, is prepared with tamarinds, tomatoes, leeks, taro and onions. It is never cooked with vinegar, though it needs to be sour. Another variety is prepared with guava and is less sour than tamarind. Raw mango can also be utilized.

Chicken Sinigang is called “Sinampalukan” from “Sampalok”, Filipino for tamarind. Hence, Sinampalukan is done with tamarinds. Other ingredients are ginger, onions, chili and tomatoes. Unlike the other variants, Sinampalukan is preferred to be a little spicier."
