    black pudding is god tier, Towns you are a disgrace

    is Pavlova actually an Aussie invention or did you just appropriate it like England appropriated fish and chips? I know it's mad famous over there but I was always under the impression it was conceived somewhere else

    Wikipedia says New Zealand, which is the same thing. We take their trout all the time and no one cares. Except for people from New Zealand... who yeah, no one cares about. It's a pretty sweet deal.

    I've never had Pavlova.

    Which is weird, because I love meringue and the serve Pavlova like everywhere here.

    smurfing Cheez Whiz.

    .............why?!?

    Fynn, do you have a version of soljanka in Poland? I had some in the Czech Republic and it was delicious. I was told it was reasonably common in a lot of former USSR territories, and then made it's way over.

    I also really like Polish beet and bacon pierogis a friend used to make once in a while. She was from Poland, and she made them from scratch, so I figure it's pretty authentic.

    I have NEVER heard of beet and bacon pierogis Definitely not a traditional thing. But sounds great! I really like pierogi overall, I just can't stand the sweet varieties.

    And no, never heard of soljanka. Wikipedia says it's mostly Russian and Ukranian, but I wouldn't bve surprised if this was a regional dish in some regions. The region I originally come from, for example, has many Lithuanian influences, so our specialty is, for example, what we call kartacze (and what the Lithuanians call zeppelins)

    Well, they were called beet and bacon, but that's a little misleading. I should have been more detailed.

    They were really mushroom pierogis. The beets were juiced and used as a main form of the broth. The mushrooms were sauteed in bacon grease, and then more bacon grease was used in the beet broth.

    Obviously quite healthy.

    Oh yes. Broth and grease. That sums up Polish cuisine quite nicely.

    besides onions? lol


    I dunno there isn't really anything specifically made here that I don't like. I mean, I live in North East America so there's only so much region specific food here.

    Up here Caribou meat is gross. It's traditional to hunt them a certain way but the only WA the meat isn't as tough as a ball glove is to dry it. Make it into jerky it's ok, but a caribou steak is not pleasant. Moose and Elk meat are great though. Same with buffalo!

    I wonder why they don't try slow stewing it or pressure cooking it or something. You have to slow cook tough meat. It can really help transform it.
