    I'm British.

    Is it bland? Is it accompanied by potatoes? Then it reeks of home.

    I do enjoy making Toad-In-The-Hole, though.

    I was just wondering what the British national dish would be? Maybe a roast dinner? You can't beat roast beef and Yorkshire pudding!

    I came to see what "national dish" meant lol

    But yes, mostly I cook curries and such. It doesn't have to be unhealthy :)

    Lebanon has a bunch of national dishes, but my husband and I cook Lebanese food all the time. Shawarma, fattoush salad, homemade hummus or falafel, taouk (grilled chicken breast chunks), and the many many vegetable/beef stews.

    That is what we eat regularly! It's healthy, although a bit high in carbs because nearly every meal has rice or bread as a component, but I do my best to focus on the protein and veggies!

    We also regularly eat Lebanese style breakfasts, including labne (a form of yogurt) and zaatar (thyme).

    Last night, we had what's called "beefteak" or beef steak, which is a very thinly sliced style of steak, marinated in garlic and lemon and cooked until it is soft. The carb with that is a Lebanese style mashed potato, which is made of boiled potatoes that we mash and add extra virgin olive oil and salt too (no butter or fatty products). Delicious!

    Actually I don't. I'm from six ethnicities so that is very difficult. Plus the names of the food in those cultures sound unappetizing to me.

    I'm only joking. Truth is I love cooking/grilling/frying anything related to food. My gf gets mad when I help her make dinner because I end up taking over the cooking station.

    But yea, I'm pretty talented with my hands and utensils. Make anything that touches the tongue taste amazing.
