Q: What are your country's winning dishes?

Had an idea for a few years now for a multi-themed restaurant, the plan being that the place would be laid out in sections, one with an Indian theme, one American, one Greek maybe, the number of themes depending of course on the size of the place, the menu would then reflect the themes of the restaurant. Alternately it could be one huge gumbo tapestry of intertwining cultural themes, my question to you being what to put on the menu. Ignore my suggestion of Indian, American and Greek food, I just mentioned those because I like chicken tikka, hamburgers and shish kebabs, what I'm interested to hear is your suggestion for what national dish best represents what country, and most importantly which are the tastiest.

I'm from the UK so I would have to say good old fish, chips and mushy peas (though Pukka pies are a good alternative to the fish). Roast beef and Yorkshire Pudding is another. One thing I love to eat when I go home is sage and onion stuffing or roast pork with apple sauce.

mArtiAn:

Lincolnshire sausages would be a plus. In fact any 'real' sausages. This'll be fine dining though, fucked if I'm gonna serve mushy peas.

Aye, toad in the hole with real Lincolnshire sausage (or bangers and mash). While you're at it, you could also do a breakfast with real Irish black pudding and proper cuts of bacon.

diverdude1:

yep, at least I was born down there...  First pic is a nice cheeseburger, second pic is of seafood gumbo.  which I put on here because it's important to know that the US does have a diverse cuisine (and Martian mentioned the word gumbo).  It's really not all just Cheesburgers and Pizza.  

Best example is French/Cajun in Louisiana, but also Mexican in the Southwest, and Italian on Long Island/Brooklyn.  I'm sure the folks out in Midwest have whatever from wherever too.  I just can't ever remember much about the Midwest people (old German/Polish types I think).

Pies.  Ridgey didge pies made by ridgey didge Aussie/Viet locals.

If you wanna go posh then it is acceptable to eat pies with a knife and fork.  And for that special touch you can add mashed potato and gravy.  Not on the pie, beside the pie.  Shitloads.

Beforehand, it's best to shovel down half a dozen schooners of the finest.

FAARRRK!!!

I made pork lard spread yesterday. 

I came across nice piece of pork fat in my local butchery in the morning. 

1.5kg piece, skinned, finely diced.... long story. ..... I have 3 full glass dishes of spread, and it tastes good. 

My cholesterol is most likely in the higher elevations, but it will be another year till I'll meet 'blood police', so the thingy has time to water down.

 

My gran use to make that all the time, and I'm heading to 'prosciutto paradise' tomorrow.... 

 

Top piece of toasted bread or two with lard spread, heavy on b. pepper, loads of chopped garlic, glass of red....

 

Next, I'll cook bacalao con patatas .....

royceH:

That sounds real good, even if a bit ethnic.

Can you even say 'ethnic' nowadays?  In early 2010, not long after moving to China, I was told by a couple of young Yanks that it was no longer kosher to say 'negro'.  I didn't know that but have avoided using the word since.

At cooking, I just use my memory or I cook whatever is available in the fridge. Don't pay attention to cooking books and recipes.

I'm keep pestering my students not to use 'na ge', when they speak English.

 

Like at Harlem's burger stand: ''I want big Mac .... 'na ge' ... with pickle''.

 

I used that word first time in China. I even misspell it, when I wrote it on BB. I'm keep saying it with adding 'big' as a mimic to 'na ge'angel.

 

'African American' is proper term.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
