#What's Your Culture's National Cuisine, and Do You Like It?

We've got Explorers from all over the world here in the Core Keeper Discord and, if there's one thing I love to hear about, it's foods from different cultures. Maybe that's because I'm English and our cuisine is sometimes considered a little bland or boring, so I love trying lots of different things 😅 .

I did a little Googling, and it turns out there is no single national dish for the UK, but I was born in a town known for its fish and chips, which I used to love. I don't eat meat anymore, so fish is out, but I would scran some chippy chips any day of the week!

What's your culture's national cuisine, and do you like it?

P.S. I hope it goes without saying that, by participating in this discussion, we're going to be respectful of other people's cultures. Golden rule, it's only okay for people to poke fun at their **own **culture's food. Like how all British food is beige 😆.

We don't have many "originals" in Canada. Poutine comes to mind for most people. We do like our desserts. Beaver Tails are an experience (pastry similar to elephant ears). I really love Nanaimo bars (named after the BC city). Butter tarts are also a really popular dessert here.

I've had poutine before and I really liked it. I'll admit the words "cheese curds" weren't super appealing to me until I tried them and was like "wow, cheese curds are THE BEST" haha 🙂

French and serbian here, so french/serbian cuisine and I tend to like more the serbian one if it's about meat, stews, breakfast and other main courses dishes.
My favorite dish is a bean stew named "pasulj", it's beans, flour, paprika powder and water and you add onions, salt or vegeta, and black pepper powder

A big one here is a dish called Saimin, a noodle soup of sorts that is very similar to ramen. I like it a lot, myself, tho i prefer this dish called the manapua, a steamed bun with some filling (like char siu or curry)

I don't know if you're vegetarian or something like that, the serbian have a big meat culture but you can have veggie dish

#

or you can ask without meat, usually it's good without it

Swedish cuisine from what I know (which isn't a lot) is mainly known for the spaghetti with meatballs, and the fermented fish surströmming.
While I've never tried surströmming and quite possibly never will due to the horrible stench, I find that spaghetti with meatballs is a very versatile dish wherein the flavour can be entirely molded depending on what sauce you top it with, and my favourite sauce to go with it is sriracha sauce since I cannot live without a bit of spice.

English, Irish, Scottish, French, & German. And anything else if it goes well with habaneros or chocolate and is non-dairy. Except Haggis... that's a full stop, habaneros or not.

Venezuela has a lot of dishes! We use lots of spices and our cuisine, like many other countries in the Caribbean, we use plantain leaves to cook many of out signature dishes. My favorite is the Hallaca, a Christmas classic. But others that I love are the Pabellón, the Arepas, Patacones, and for drinks I love me some Chicha (fun fact, many other South American countries have Chicha too!)

As an Austrian, I really like a good Wiener Schnitzel.
Also stuff like Apfelstrudel and Apricot Dumplings are pretty good :D

as an american, food here sucks and its greasy as hell. Food anywhere else is so much better.

Where I'm from the most famous traditional dish would be "gratin dauphinois". But if you go a little upper in French's Alps I guess it would be "raclette" or "tartiflette". I'm so sad we can't cook milk in Core Keeper, we could get all kind of gratin !

My friend made me tartiflette once, it was amazing!

Turkish here, we have a lot of stereotypical dishes like doner kebab and lahmacun('turkish pizza' you might've heard) that I would recommend. If you're vegetarian, stuffed vine leaves with olive oil (dolma) are really good with a side of garlic yogurt JingleJamCookie

Mostly Polish and Irish (generally American Melting pot though...there's Welsh and French Canadian thrown in there as well) - it's not a holiday without pierogi, halushki and kielbasa!!! I've been exploring Irish foods as well lately and had rashers for the first time which were pretty good! I'm trying to work up the courage to try black pudding and white pudding... 😬 I've been told they're good though!

As a British person, its either fish and chips or Sunday roast cause honestly? All our dishes are a mix of foods from other countries lol

Filo foods I like
Adobong Tagalog: A bit oily if you eat it as is but if you eat it with rice it's godly, especially if the rice is sticky and damp
Lechong Baboy: It's pretty good especially the skin but if you eat too much your cholesterol's gonna skyrocket
Lomi: It's like thick noodles with thick brothy soup and the ingredients vary from store to store but usually they have different parts of meats and other snacks like Chicharon(Pork skin) or Kikiam
Pancit Palabok - Also Thick noodles with thick sauce that's typically made out of thickened shrimp broth you mix it and I personally like it if I squeeze a fresh cut Calamansi on top

From Australia we have:
Pavlova, its basically a cake made of egg white and sugar. Most of the time its got strawberries or passion fruit on top. (I prefer mint chocolate on top)
Fairy bread, bread with butter and 100s and thousands, its at every kids birthday party.
Dim sims, essentially a dumpling but a bit bigger, doughier, and a bit more shaped.
Bunnings snag, A place called bunnings usually has a barbeque out front where charities hire, they put a sausage in a square piece of bread and add some onion on top.
Vegemite on toast, its a yeasty type of spread, most people pare it with butter when having toast, if you put too much on it gets painful.

I've got an Aussie mate who calls them "Dimmies" and was shocked to find that most of the chip shops in England don't sell them unless they're like Asian fusion chip shops

#

(Not sure if it's an entirely Australian thing to have them at chip shops or just a regional thing for her haha)

In Belgium we got Beer, Chocolates (Pralines), French Fries, and Waffles! I had to actually google what my national dish is and it seems like Moules Frites which is mussels with fries. I sadly am allergic to most seafood so I wouldn't even know what it tastes like 😦 But most people say its pretty good.

I come from an Asian background (Malaysian) so I'll just say fried rice as it's likely the easiest to know.

Vietnamese has what called " Chung Cake" or "Tet cake" for New year festival. Or " Pho" noodle soup

Thanks for adding Sushi to your picture🍣 It's not only tasty but also cute and iconic. The pixel art Sushi looks like candy so i love it💘
BTW I love fish and chips too. Sometimes I want to eat fried fish not raw fish...

reading through the thread and i find you with a delicious name :)
here taho is a street food that consists of fresh tofu (i think it's called silken tofu or smth idk, but it's very soft), tapioca pearls and a brown simple syrup
it's good cold or hot, but best enjoyed hot/warm on rainy days imo
not uncommon to see vendors hauling the two large buckets on a pole on their shoulders and hearing their calls
