Do you ever cook your national dish?

I'm from England.
Don't really cook much of my own country's national dishes. I prefer Italian stuff or Indian.0 -
So... poutine?
Nah, man, no one has time for that.
What?! I make poutine! It isn't exactly diet friendly though (eh!)0 -

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!
I want to eat dinner with you guys!0 -
But yea, I'm pretty talented with my hands and utensils. Make anything that touches the tongue taste amazing.
That's what she said.0 -
Scottish, and never once had haggis.
Also, don't even have a deep fryer.
Have had haggis its not so good, Vegetarian haggis believe it or nice is actually nice.
I also dont have a deep fat fryer lol0 -
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 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.0 -

As the Doctor once said, "What kind of Scot are you?!"
Ha!0 -
I EAT pho all the time... In order to make it properly takes way too much time so when I want it I just go to a restaurant.0

lol if I want poutine (because damn it's good, like who doesn't?) I go out and get some... because of the three things that go into poutine, I never have ANY of them in the house.0 -
We make our STATE dish all the time...Beer Brats here in Wisconsin!0

I thought the national dish of us Americans was something you just get from the drive-thru??
I'm of French, German and Polish descent, but I don't really consider them my nation, so I guess the answer is no.0 -

Another Canadian, eh?
Poutine may only be consumed when bough from a chip wagon, and they have to be using fresh cheese curds or it's not worth eating!0 -
I'm Irish so... coddle.. haven't had it in ages though!0

Start at some steak gumbo or fried okra and green tomatoes. Keep me coming with some red beans and rice and steamed crawdads.
I have family living in Kenner, La and New Orleans. We visit often and I gain 5 pounds a day every time I go. Since we're Cuban, they mix the food sometimes so we get Cuban/Cajun dishes.0 -
I'm Filipino and I love to cook food from my native country! I've even cooked Filipino food for our college campus when they had a national food day (I cooked Adobong Baboy - or pork adobo and some Pastilla's). My food was the first to go :-)
I also like to try and cook other national foods too....if I can find a recipe that has readily available ingredients.
I also have French Cajun in me....but have not tried to cook from there yet. Maybe someday :-)0 -
I'm 'merican.
I make hamburgers a lot....0 -
I'm English, so I guess our national dish would be something like roast dinner? Or fish 'n' chips? I think we have roast dinner maybe once every couple of months, but just chicken with veg, nothing fancy. I hate fish 'n' chips.
My husband has an aunt from Thailand and an uncle from Iran, and they make some lovely food.0 -
I'm from LA and I've never cooked a pot of gumbo. Have boiled crawfish though. Considering this thread is about food, answering with a state specific reply is as appropriate as answering "Texas" to what country are you from.0
-
From Costa RIca so i cook "gallo pinto" for breakfast every single day!0
-
I'm from Texas and make a lot of barbecue, potato salad, baked beans and peach cobbler.... but who knows if that's correct LOL0
-
I am from Nigeria and I cook most of my native dishes on the weekends becuase they tend to be tedious. We have alot of different cultures in my country but for my tribe(Igbo) I would say Chicken pepper soup and pounded yam is my favorite.0
-
I'm originally from my mother, and I eat whenever she cooks for me. Does that count?0
-
Scottish, love haggis (real and vegetarian) and cook both often... make a delicious haggis lasagna!!0
-
I am indian, but I have no idea of what the national dish is. It is definetely not Chicken Tikka masala. Thats the dish of the London resident indians0
