    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!

    Scottish, and never once had haggis.

    Also, don't even have a deep fryer.

    As the Doctor once said, "What kind of Scot are you?!"

    Ha!

    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.

    Cook? In the kitchen? What business do I have in there?

    That's what she said...

    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.

    I'm from England.

    Don't really cook much of my own country's national dishes. I prefer Italian stuff or Indian.

    Nah, man, no one has time for that.

    I am French on my fathers side and Italian on my mothers side. I like Italian cooking better because I can buy gluten free pasta but French uses heavy creams and stuff.. but sometimes I make French Fries :wink: and often I eat my soup cold :laugh:

    I like Mexican food best and Japanese foods and I make Thai food sometimes too..anything I can find that is gluten & dairy free and yummy then I make it and eat it.
