Senshik Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 This thread could be used for the Food and Drinks thread (forthcoming?) or merged with another thread that has been created. I was down over at "what was the last thing you ate" thread and I got the idea for this thread when I inquired about S&K pies (Steak and unknownKidney Pie with questionable brown sauce) - A dish from Ireland. So me being the curious person that I am, I want to know what other foods different people from different nationalities have. Let the boards know what you guys cook traditionally and what the contents are. Also ask here about a dish you may have herad of or want to know how to make it or just plain curious about what others are eating at home! I'll start. State country and dish name. Nicaragua (central america) - Indio Viejo (A dish roughly translated as "old indian") This dish is made of the corn flour (used to make tortillas), along with shreded beef, baby corn, and mint. It's a traditional dish that is served during a cold season (i'm assuming cuz it's a very hot and warms you up). It can be served with white rice and tortilla as a side.
soldier of fortune Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Heh, good one sen, get onto your man about the Food & Drink sub forum the people want! Anyway, Steak and Kidney pie is more an English thing, its just really tasty,
the division of joy Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 steak and kidney pie has a brown beef gravy to go with... the brown sauve i was talking about is an alternative to ketchup.. its a more tangy/zesty kind of condoment... and i personally find it goes rather well with said steak and kidney pies.. as well as breakfast meats like sausage and rasher/bacon... and perfectly washed down with a cup've tea.... its odd ye yanks haven't heard of brown sauce
alive she cried Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 its odd ye yanks haven't heard of brown sauce i think they just don't call it brown sauce, could what we call "brown sauce" be what ye call "apple sauce" in U.S.? i may very easily be wrong
the division of joy Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 well, i doubt it would be apple sauce.... given there's a high content of apples in apple sauce, and about .4 percent apple sauce in the bottle of stuff sitting in front of me... the temptation to send some over to a willing victim is quite high... any takers?
alive she cried Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 is there any other fruit mentioned? if not i'd say it's apple sauce.
the division of joy Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 there's dates and tomatoes.... ive got YR sitting in front of me...
Ganny McVagflaps Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 They have brown sauce at import stores and supermarkets that carry protesta british foods. Other than that you're fucked. Thankfully (I think) because I live across the street from Disney and there's so many English tourists the WalMart up the street has loadsa that stuff. I have to special order my Taytos from some place in NYC though. It's the best, they have everything from black pudding (FOOD OF KINGS) to mighty munch.
the division of joy Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 man... there's nothin better than a black and white pudding sambo with lashings of brown sauce to get rid've a hangover..... as for tayto, i think they've just been taken over by walker, given the factory up the road in coolock's just shut down... they're tasting a bit nicer than they usually do....
alive she cried Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 as for tayto, i think they've just been taken over by walkerno way, no way, fuck Walkers. Tayto forever. mighty munch. nice but since they changed from monster munch they're not as nice. black pudding it's gotta be clonakilty black. nothin' better
LightningOBO Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 THIS IS A JALEA (pron. HA-Léh-AH) This a very typical dish of the West coast of Peru. Mainly, the Coast is made up of big cities and fisher-towns. A Jalea is a made up of a variety of fried seafood, slightly seasoned and breaded. When served, it is meant to be shared from a large dish (since most fishermen spent time together and did not have many resources, it was easier to share from a dish). Before you dig in, do not forget to squeeze a few drops of lemon (as desired by taste) for a little tanginess or dip it into our various Peruvian Tartar Sauces....MMM-mmm-mmm!
the division of joy Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 eh, there's some butchers that have nicer stuff than clonakilty.... hard to find... but if you're in dunnes or somewhere, clonakilty is the way to go
soldier of fortune Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 man... there's nothin better than a black and white pudding sambo with lashings of brown sauce to get rid've a hangover..... as for tayto, i think they've just been taken over by walker, given the factory up the road in coolock's just shut down... they're tasting a bit nicer than they usually do.... Tayto was bought by Largo Foods, who make Perry Crisps. White pudding mashed into toast, with a bit of Yorkshire Relish is delish!
the division of joy Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 i thought it was walkers... all i know is the factory up the road from me's up for sale... and they're tasting a fair bit nicer than usual....
soldier of fortune Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 nope definitely Perry's I'd google it if i could be bothered, all tayto's are now made in Meath! They make Hunky Dory's there as well and they have buffalo roaming the plains!
Ganny McVagflaps Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 They make Hunky Dory's there as well and they have buffalo roaming the plains! Buffalo crisps are the goods!

That loooooooooks AND sounds delicious! Where can I go get a decent rendition of this dish, Lobo? (Unfortunately I don't know many Peruvian restaruants...)
Senshik Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 It has squid in it too right????? (mmm)
LightningOBO Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 YEs, it's got an extensive variety of seafood, including crab legs!! I suggest you try it at "Aromas del Peru" on 137th and Kendall Drive, across from el Dorado Furniture Store, next to the Perfumania.....we should all go one day...I'm also a great "ceviche" cook....that would be the NEXT dish I will present!!
Senshik Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 Sweeeeeeeet. Ceviche is good stuff. My dad makes an awesome one too. I'm fairly decent at making certain Nica dishes too... Traditional Nicaraguan meal: Carne Asada/or Pollo Asado, Gallo Pinto, con ensalda, tajadas, y queso frito! YUMMY! (Translation: Grilled steak/ or Chicken, rice&beans, salad, fried plantains, and fried cheese!) Chicken dish
soldier of fortune Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 You cannot beat fish and chips man, that shit is awesome!
Senshik Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 I was wondering if it was fish or chicken...! We have the same thing here... guess junk food is the same everywhere.
soldier of fortune Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 To be fair, Fish & Chips normally Haddock & Cod, are a british institution, i love the fish and chips over there. Lobo, do you have a recipe for the Jalea!? That looks mighty tasty, and i'd love to try it sometime...
