Food from around the World

Post pictures of different dishes, influenced by different cultures from around the world. I'l start with the Japanese cuisine Sushi. Once a delicacy, now can be ordered in many UK towns and citys. My experience of Sushi, was a fun evening where plates of raw fish would move round the seating areas on a convair belt. The main ingredient of Sushi is Raw Fish accompanied with rice. Eating Sushi with cutlery is almost unheard of, so if you choose to pay a visit to a restuarant, get some pratice in before you sit down http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sushi

I love Sushi,Cruiser,I could just eat some now

When I went Bella, I spent about 30 quid on my dishes, walked out still hungry and went straight to mcdonalds and grabbed a rubber cheesburger, lol
Nice all the same, just didnt feel me up

You must be still growing then Cruiser :shock:

Im almost 6ft Star, so I bloody hope not

Satay,I love it,as long as it's hot.The ready made stuff from supermarkets is crap though

Quote :

This is a South-east Asian speciality eaten across much of Indonesia
(from where it originates), Thailand and Malaysia. Small pieces of
marinated meat or fish are skewered on small wooden sticks and grilled
or barbecued. Satay is usually served with spicy peanut sauce. It's essentially a street food, but is good served as a starter or main course with rice.

I confess, Ive only ever tried the supermarket/takeaway Satay, but I can only imagine from the pictures that cooked fresh it would taste LOVELY! :bounce:

I used to have alot of Malay friend in London,Cruiser,I went out with a malaysian lad for a couple of years,so I got to sample alot of their cooking,I think that was how I was introduced to Satay

It does have it perks doesnt it Bella My brothers dating an indian girl, and hes getting fed the best curries But I only get to hear the stories of how nice they are :twisted:

I've always wanted to cook such glorious meals, but never have had the discipline of mind or the imagination and patience to bring the thing off.

I used to enjoy cooking and entertaining but it seems to have come to a holt since having my son,I hate mundane every day cooking.

Here's another meal I used to enjoy,this time from Ghana,I miss having friends from all over the world here back here in Northern sticks. I had Ghanaian friend from Accra he was a musician , and he used to cook me Peanut/groundnut stew which had to be accompanied by pineapple juice

A popular Canadian dish is "Poutine". And whilst I was in Montreal I had the opportunity to try it out. Before I ordered I had been told that the dish contained fries and cheese covered in gravy :shock: The meal looks quite unsightly lol, but on an empty stomach, and maybe even a few beers here and there, it tastes delicious!! :248682:

Shish Kebabs.

These are really simple to make and brilliant starters. Best thing about them is you can make them at a Barbeque.
