favorite food from your home country! Options

[*not_your_average*]

I searched, and I couldn't find any topics that asked people to submit their favorite foods from their home countries. I thought it would be cool if you could give us your favorite food from your home country, and if possible, submit a recipe for that food.

I'm from India, so my personal favorite food from there is pau bhaaji. It's kind of like a burger, only the filling in between the bread is a vegetable mix. I'll try to find a recipe later.

[heyyfrankie]

favorite mexican food - nachos
favorite italian food - chicken parmaseana(sp?)

and since i live in america...my favorite american food is HAMBURGERS!

[inthemudhole]

Ireland -- Irish soda bread is my favorite. Corned beef and cabbage is a traditional dish there, and I like that a lot too.

Norway -- I don't like much from Norway. I guess Lefse is okay if it's not plain.

Since I'm also half Chinese, my favorite chinese food would be.. um.. dimsum? I'm still deciding lol. Gosh sometimes I can't even tell the difference between chinese and vietnamese food, since some are very similar, but different names.

[vash1530]
