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.
Outside of Southern Europe, the Balkans, and France literally all European food culture is just different forms of alcoholism.
I like hagis. But i hear yanks baned it in their country for some reason.
I mean, unless we’re talking about the vcjd scare in the 90s, although us food might have been less healthy even then
Marketing makes ppl think French food is amazing. The bread is killer, the meat is good, cheese is great. Went to restaurants in Lyon and had Ranch food, whose name I can’t recall. And It was great, sweet breads, river pike, and inteston, all family style. But that was only one restaurant, everywhere else was bad or just meh.
French food culture is just alcoholism, they’re just better at marketing than most of Europe when it comes to food and they’ve built a fake reputation of being fancy
:wojak-nooo: noooo you’re using too many ingredience you can’t do that! It’s all going to taste the same!! NOOOO!!!
:so-true: whips out the most disgusting can of lye-drenched herring you’ve ever witnessed
There is a reason there are Chinese Food Restaurants literally everywhere and no uh… Swedish Food Restaurants? Br*tish Food Restaurants? Lmfao
Good point. I have brit heritage and I would not go to a place calling themselves British, sorry grandma.
What, you don’t want to visit the British Beer Company?
