I'm sure it is quite sweet!

Just a quick note: the first word in your sentence should have an apostrophe and be written like this: it's.

"It's" is a contraction of the words IT and IS.

As citizens of my own country, I must say that we embrace the food of my culture. It is especially nice to see people supporting local producers. The food you know as kebab in Europe comes from our culture. There are also many different dishes like this one, for example pita. All of them are extremely tasty, but they can also be seen as unhealthy because they are very rich in carbohydrates. But I can never stop eating.

OMG! I'm so happy that you like them :) We have mixed culture with all middle-east nations. I'm Kurd and we span across parts of Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria. Kurdish cuisine is also an essential aspect of our culture with dishes varying based on the region and local ingredients. Some popular Kurdish dishes include Dolma, which is stuffed vegetables, kutilik, lamb stew. Tea is also an integral part of Kurdish culture and it is typically served to our guests as a sign of hospitality. And I strongly agree with you about running one shop to another can help our body in good shape because we have hundreds of different shops with excellent dishes!

Woooow! I didn't realize that some of my favorite foods are from Kurdish cuisine!! For one, I absolutely adore dolmas. But what I realize, thanks to you (and the tons of photos and videos I've just watched on the internet, hahaha!), is that I've only ever had them stuffed with plain rice. :/ I discovered that in addition to rice, they can be stuffed with many flavorful ingredients like dill and tomato paste and other items. ... Soooo, the hunt is on! It is my mission to find Kurdish dolmas. :D

In fact, now that I think about it; I tend to like foods that are rolled up in another food item. Mexican tamales, Asian fresh rolls or spring rolls quickly come to mind. Have you ever had those? I've made them a few times. They're delicious and take patience - but they're worth it. Just like the time it takes to make dolmas. Have you made dolmas before?

Sure!, it’s very easy.
first of all you have to boil the water in a pot, when it boils add the salt and throw the pasta,
meanwhile cook the bacon in a pan, once cooked put it aside, create a cream with egg yolk, pecoriono (cheese) and pepper. when the pasta is cooked, put it in the pan and add the cream and bacon and eat it!

Do you think the Neapolitan pizza is the best kind of pizza compared to any others? Hmm.... I'm curious to know: In your option, is it possible to have Neopolitan-style pizza in other parts of the world? There's a forum post about friendly food rivalries and one of them has to do with NYC vs Chicago-style pizza. Check it out, and give us your opinion. :)

In my opinion, the Neapolitan-style pizza can be found in other parts of the world only if there are Neapolitans in those parts using the right ingredients and putting the same passion in cooking it! However, it's not the same, it is just a copy of that style, the "original " Neapolitan pizza is the pizza made in Naples! :D
Good ingredients, excellent experience, a lot of passion and the right environment ( which is the same that allowed its invention)!

Name of the product: pierogi
Origin: Poland
Local: Pierogi are polish dumplings which are available in every restaurant that sells polish food. You can buy them everywhere across Poland. Pierogi can have many various fillings. The most popular one is made from cottage cheese, boiled potatoes, fried onion and some spices. Pierogi with this filling are most often called "Pierogi ruskie". Other fillings include: meat (pork, beef, sometimes chicken), fruits (strawberry, bilberry etc.), spinach, cabbage, mushrooms. Pierogi can be eaten without anything, but they are often enjoyed with melted butter, sour cream and fried bacon.

回复Del PreteClara

Del PreteClara -
ORIGINS: The Frisella was one of the most popular food during the first millennium, a period in which it represented the meal of the military departing from the South,an ideal snack that kept for a long time even during complex journeys. There were two types of frisella: one made with durum wheat, reserved for the wealthiest tables and special occasions, and another made with barley, prepared by less wealthy families.
I think there is nothing more traditional, summery and delicious. A peasant, fresh country dish: tomatoes, olive oil, a pinch of salt and fragrant basil leaves or a little of oregano.

The Mediterranean diet has been linked to reduced risk of heart disease, improved brain function, weight management, and increased longevity.

I'm in Galicia, an autonomous community in the northwest of Spain, and one of my favourite local foods is called "churrasco", although it's not exclusive to this country. Here, the main ingredient can be pork ribs, Galician beef ribs or a mixture of both.
Traditionally, the meat is salted and grilled on a grill, but it can also be prepared in an oven, after seasoning and adding vinegar, white wine and EVOO.
This dish is usually accompanied by a simple salad, chips and the traditional churrasco sauce (made from vinegar, olive oil, white wine and bay leaf).
If you prefer a vegetarian option, you can order a "parillada de verduras" instead, i.e. grilled vegetables.

Best regards,
Martin

Welcome, Martin!

Thanks for sharing one of your favorite foods - and for sharing the vegetarian option too. :D

For those that don't know (and it even took me a second to remember. Hahaha!), but "EVOO" means Extra virgin olive oil.

What are the seasonings you add? Is it more than simply adding salt? I'm so curious about this dish of yours!

I'll talk about a dish that is very common in many places in the world and it's called differently depending on where you are but the base is the same "Tacos" at Messico, "Piadina" in Italia, "Wrap" in more of one country, "Rapidita" in Argentina, "Montadito" in Spain. However, it's a thin dough similar from pizza, but much more thinner, that it's generally filled with a kind of meat, it might be cow, chiken, turkey, ecc., and vegetables, mostly onion, green leaves like salad, tomatoes, carrot, between a spoilt of choice.
I have chosen this meal because it's the delicios strategy I use at home for unwaste food. I usually preserve two or three days "waste" and join them in a preheated Piadina (I live in Italy now), adding cheese and some sauce, such as spicy sauce, avocado's cream, carrot maionese, yogurt sauce, olive's patè, and of course, the unmissing extra-virgin olive oil.

Name of the product: Tacos al Pastor
Origin: Mexican
Local: In any taqueria or restaurant in Mexico city
It is a combination of Arabic and Mexican food, because they use the "trompo" which is the Shawarma and they season it and slice it, and you can add pineapple, cilantro and any sauce to the taco.

The product is Travesseiros de Sintra
It’s a traditional sweet from the beautiful portuguese village of Sintra.
It's made of puff pastry on the outside, egg cream, almonds and cinnamon on the inside and sugar on top.
It’s a very old recipe, originally made by nuns from a convent near by. Nowadays is produced and sold by Piriquita, one of the most famous pastry shops in the village.
We call it travesseiros because they look like small pillows and are absolutely delicious.

name of the product: mozzarella di bufala
origin country: South Italy
Mozzarella di bufala is a typical fresh cheese from Campania, an Italian region, made from the milk of these unique mediterranean buffalos that lives there. I like this type of mozzarella because it has a strong and intense milk flavour, that comes with a unique texture. Indeed, you can distinguish a mozzarella di bufala from a common mozzarella seeing that is not perfectly smooth on the outside, with little imperfections on the surface, and when you slice it, it release a lot of juices! That kind of thing is called “caccia ‘o latt”, that means that it is releasing “milk”!

My family cooked it ourselves yesterday, and the flavour was so good!
It is a heartful and savoury dish, rich in broth from beef bones and shrimp paste. The beef is tender, with a little bit of spice from lemon grass, chilli peper and freshness from a lot of greens!

Hi everyone!
Today I want to talk you about one of my favorite ocal products: Botillo del Bierzo.

This delicious product from El Bierzo, a beautiful region in the northwest of Spain, in the province of León.

Botillo is a traditional meat dish made with different parts of pork, seasoned with garlic, paprika, and other spices, and then smoked and cured. It's a unique product that tells the story of how people in this area preserved meat during the winter months for centuries.

I love Botillo because it's not just food, it's tradition, culture, and flavor all in one. Every time I eat it, it reminds me of family meals and local celebrations. If you ever visit El Bierzo, you must try it!
