What are some of the favorite foods where you live?
Things that people in other parts of the world might not think they would enjoy.
For instance, in Southwest Louisiana, people enjoy boiled crawfish (or crayfish). They look like little lobsters and are boiled with hot seasonings in a big pot (say 5 gallons of water) with potatoes and corn on the cob (in the same pot of spicy boiling water). We enjoy these tasty treats from about January to May.
Here’s a picture of some crawfish fun. What types of food do people enjoy in your neck of the woods?
YES!
We eat the whole platter full and go back for seconds!
You don’t eat the shell. That’s my niece just playing around as though she is going to eat the whole shell and all. You eat the tail meat after you pull the tail off and peel it.
Lots of people call these things mud bugs, because they burrow into the mud. Rice farmers often sell crawfish in their off season, because crawfish thrive in the flooded rice fields.
I’ve been eating mostly lettuce, apples, cookies, and hate recently. Maybe some chicken and rice thrown in. I’m not sure what would be considered typical around here. Steak and hamburgers seem to be popular, and a lot of people have instant ramen for lunch.
I could really go for some duck right now, but decent duck meat cannot be obtained for a reasonable price within five hours of travel via any means. There’s not any good seafood, either, being basically as far away from anything resembling ocean as is physically possible.
This thread makes me want to teleport to Spain to grab some squid pizza for lunch and then teleport to France for some duck for dinner.
Salmiaklakrids (Ammonium licorice). Bitter-sweet licorice flavored with ammonium cloride.
And there’s “remoulade”, which is a kind of pickles-mayonaise-vegetable-sauce, without which one can’t propperly enjoy fried fish and/or chips. And it HAS to be the right kind. The French or Louisiana versions, with raddish and chilli and whatnot, will not do at all.
All the good cheese and, as you mentionned hundreds of local dishes.
Around here (on the steps of Britany) we’re kinda fond of crêpes (thin and large pancakes, mostly stuffed with sugared things) and galettes (the same but made out of black wheat, better with salted stuf)
