Which Country dishes do you like best? and please tell us why you like it?

I think it a toss up between Greek and Indian food. Both are so flavourful and most dishes are easy to prepare.

yeah, I don't know how's the Greek dishes, but I know Indian dish is very delicious, it not only looks very nice, taste also very nice. And some Chinese dish is also very nice, a little similar with Indian.

I like traditional German food, with the beautiful, crunchy vegetables and simple taste profiles... nothing fancy, but it's what I grew up with. This is the perfect time of year for it too, what with all the fresh produce and amazing garden delights to be had

Otherwise, I tend to cook a lot of Mexican and Indian food as I love cooking with beans and lentils. DH has me hooked on making tacos with a vegan filling and my homemade version of refried beans.

For going out, I love Greek gyros, Halifax donairs, shawarmas - any meat and veggies on bread with a garlicky sauce - or anything seafood (the simpler the better when it comes to seafood, IMHO). I do make a wicked dinner-for-two of spanakopita at home myself using phyllo, spinach, and a mix of cottage cheese and feta to make it a bit healthier. It's also a great time-saver, not to mention a waistline-saver, to use Pam(butter or olive oil flavour) to oil the sheets of phyllo. It takes seconds per sheet and gives a lighter texture to the finished product!

I love middle eastern food! The spices are just so good, especially sumac. I'm not a huge meat fan, but if it's done up with sumac and served on pitas I will eat mountains of it. I have become pretty good at cooking it because there just aren't that many really great places around to get this stuff.

i drove from Brampton to Ohio and Illinois this summer. i swear 95% of the trip the roadside view was nothing by sumac trees. i had to laugh, i have never seen so much sumac in my life!

we had 2 trees in my front yard when i was little (up to age 4) i have the most distinct memory of tasting it. no clue why i decided to eat some, but i did. i also used to eat cat food in that house, so i have no understanding of my motives as a child haha.

wow, you make my mouth water, lol, did you eat Chinese hot pot , Chinese Peking Roast Duck and Korea's barbecue

We do a meal from a different country at least once a month. During the summer holidays, it's a project for the lilPenguins. we roll dice as to who picks a country and then that person picks their choice long as it isn't a country used in the past 6 months.

we then either look through my huge selection of cook books or google recipes for a meal.

we have eaten Indian and Chinese as they are perennial favourites as is Italian and French. The Greek night was a hit too, thought the Penguinettes don't like eggplant.Nepal was hit-and-miss while the African night was a winner with my Tanaznian fish curry and the beef and sweet potato tangine.

I love experimenting with food and Penguinette 2 is a Gordon Ramsey fan and she really wants to learn to cook...

DB and SIL who went to China said that the Chinese Peking Roast Duck was one the most flavory meal they had

[hollyquaiscer]

It's hard to pick just one, we love german and polish foods, but of coarse there is portuguise, and chinese and japenese. As far as favorites, my entire family loves it when I make Rouladen and cabbage rolls.
