Gumbo. Usually I put chicken and sausage in it, but if I can get some good shrimp and crab, that’s the tops.
How do you make your shrimp and crab gumbo?
kibbeh. I don’t make it in a very traditional way I think. Its the way my Syrian mom taught me. Basically a meatloaf with equal parts lamb and beef. Bulgur wheat, onions, pine nuts and lots of seasonings (cinnamon is the wild card and most distinctive part).
Pierogi
With kielbasa and cabbage. Yummy.
And fried onions and sour cream.
All cooked up in enough butter to drown a small child.
Enchiladas de mole!
My homeland has a delicacy called pork roll that I enjoy very much. I bring some back with me every time I visit.
It’s called Taylor Ham, you cretin!
Jokes aside, a breakfast bagel sandwich is truly a wonderful thing to behold. Had one with whitefish and scallion cream cheese this morning myself.
Chnöpfli (similar to Spätzle). Central Swiss wheat pasta.
Knöpfe, Allgäu. Nicht nur Schweiz 😁 (die einzig wahren Käsespätzle)
Semmelknödel
Spinatknödel! Leberknödelsuppe! Kaspressknödel!
Grilled cheese sandwich.
Shouldn’t it be a traditional dish we love to make?
Make or eat. Honestly, there are some traditional foods I love to eat but I don’t want to make them myself because they’re time consuming.
Arroz Mexicano (literally Mexican rice). It’s simple and quick to make but the flavor is vibrant and comforting at the same time. And if you top it with a fried egg (slightly less traditional) then it’s a full hearty meal!
Hesperollekes! Chicory wrapped in ham and baked in a cheese sauce. My ultimate comfort food.
Ooo is it Greek?
It’s from Flanders (northern part of Belgium)
Raw radish. Little bit of salt.
Ice cream.
Ratatouille
So easy to make. So good
Lithuanian torte.
