In 2018, Sweden’s official national Twitter account claimed that Swedish meatballs are based on a Turkish recipe[10] and King Charles XII used food as a way to help boost the relationships between the two countries.[11] However, a food and culture expert at Stockholm University claimed that there was no evidence behind this and that the meatballs likely originated in France or Italy instead.
That’s weird, since swedish meatballs are basically just kofta without the spices.
You’d be hard pressed to get mainland Chinese food in the states outside of some cities. Had real dim sum once, but I was a culinary coward at the time, so I didn’t really experience most of what was on offer.
I’ve got some great Sichuanese options in my area which really stand out from your standard takeout places that serve the same Chow Mein and Fried Rice dishes. The Mapo tofu is so perfectly crisp and mouth-numbing. Also have a Hui muslim restaurant a bit further away which serves massive sesame and scallion bread which comes out on a 3 foot diameter plate. So delicious
I fucking love all Asian foods. Hook me up with some natto, kimchi, mochi, fried rice or nan bread any day.
I mean, Asia is a bunch of very different countries, there’s no way someone couldn’t find food that they like.
