like I said, not entirely sure I said that right...lol

hope that helped, a tad

Ahh, it helped a bit. I still didn't know 非洲, but I looked it up. Yay I learned something. I'm still taking Chinese class, cool language.

A lot of this food looks good.

Ah nice, never had a class, it's been self study on and off for awhile. Mainly off these past few years since I focused more on my french studies (I still need to take classes for both) ...lol

Tamales. Home cooked of course, and only on Christmas.

Danish side of the family:
Æbleskiver. They're little pancake balls. Usually fill with some sort of jam, sprinkle with powdered sugar. mmm

Medisterpølse. A Danish sausage. So good.

From My Colombian Side.

Bandeja Paisa

Image


Its a mix of; rice, egg, beans, sausage(choriso), arepa(Colombian Bread), avocado, powdered beef and pork.

Here is an image of one that i made myself when away at Uni, i got to say i was damn proud of it:
Image

From My Indonesian (by upbringing not blood) side.

Nasi Goreng

Image

It's a fried (Goreng) rice (Nasi) that is very regular here in Indonesia. Normally made up of The rice itself containing chicken, spices, veggies. Searved with a side of whatever is in the rice. (Either chicken, beef, shrimp, sea-food.. wtvr) Some Sate (Imagine Mini-Kebabs) and kreupuk (It's like a flavored cracker, most common one is chicken/shrimp flavor). Crack an fry an egg over the rice, and serve it spicy (i prefer it mild).

It's really hard for me to say what I actually eat as I am vegan, so I don't eat, meat, milk, cheese, butter, eggs. So I bake my own cakes, biscuits and buy dairy free chocolate etc. I tend to eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables, rice and pasta. I eat burger and sausages, and pies, but they are meat and dairy free.

just no.

Someone saying that a mash of beans and seeds and plant residue is a burger or sausage is like me taking some ground up veal and molding into the shape of celery and claiming it’s a vegetable.

Who says a burger or a sausage has to be made from meat?

Veggie burgers w/ beans and whatnot are fine, but the word "sausage" basically implies meat :)

gonna agree w/ Cell here, it's not technically "sausage" lol

Oh I know. It sucks explaining it to people. Usually when I try, I give up and tell them to try it.

I always just tell people to try it before I tell them what it is also, papusas are the shit. They're so simple yet so delicious, as well as ceviche. Just reading this topic makes my mouth water.
