Maduros street tacos
Basically fried plantains, cuban black beans, raw onion, cilantro, sriracha and lime on corn tortilla
It is absolutely made in the US but not in most places. Made some about 2 hours ago and they are delicious
Make the corn tortilla yourself trust me, store bought is shit and falls apart.
Tiramisu
God tier dessert
I can’t speak for the whole of my country due to it being the US, but in my city, I don’t know a single place that does takoyaki or hot pot in general.
With hot pot I can see why it wouldn’t be feasible because a parent sues over not watching their kid drop their electronics into the hot oil, but takoyaki wouldn’t be a big deal! I need more takoyaki!
Lots of cities in the US have hot pot.
Good to know.
Canada too.
toronto and seattle have incredible variety but i’m sure it depends on the diaspora
Moussaka
Weird that moussaka is pretty common in Australia with the greek diaspora here, but I only rarely see stifado.
CW: meat
sichuan boiled fish (水煮鱼) is delicious, but you can only find it at the rare real Chinese restaurants, not the americanized ones.
Why a CW ?
Instance rule, I think
Oh, yeah
Hexbear…
does a vegemite sandwich count?
Vegemite on hot buttered toast, mmm.
vegemite on crumpets… mmmmmm yum.
I do love a good Paella; especially seafood with plenty of lemon juice squeezed on.
A really well made Steak Tartare is great too
“Well made steak tartare”
U wot m8?
That’s just raw hamburger with bits in it.
By what criteria can you consider raw hamburger with bits thrown in “well made”?
the quality and proportions of the meat, egg, shallots, capers, mustard, tabasco and worcester sauce make all the difference. I’ve had it DIY style, and I’ve had it pre-made, and one particular time in Bruges it was made to absolute perfection
tbf if you can eat raw meat in Egypt or Michigan without dying, they won, they officially made it well
Indian food
Also Italian pasta and pizza made in the original ways, they’re a completely different food if you make it without cutting corners
Papa Rellena… It’s basically a ground beef stuffed potato croquette (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papa_rellena). I could basically eat them all day every day if they were more readily available (and cheaper) where I live.
Have you tried Boliyucas? They’re similar and easier to make.
Tlayuda. I’ve never seen it outside of Oaxaca.
Chicago style Pizza. It’s almost never made in my own country much less anywhere else.
tavern style I hope? ;)
Katsudon
kashkeh bademjan
There is a food called murtabak that ive never seen outside of Singapore and Malaysia.
Its like a stuffed roti that you dip in curry. Fantastic and I wish I could find it in Europe.
✍️ fuck yeah i hope they make me put the fish in the blender again
I made kimchi on Sunday because I miss it! There used to be Korean and Japanese restaurants here, but they went out of business or moved to a bigger city.
I miss the cosmopolitan culinary choices (ie: Hmart or 99 Ranch) from the US, but definitely not the prices.
