Cooking With Only New World Ingredients

A while back I realized that where I lived had no regional dishes to call our own, everything being sourced from some other culture. I've made it my goal to develop our own regional dish to help give us an actual food culture. To make it more authentically local I decided to limit myself to ingredients to the Americas, preferably the southwestern/southern part of the North America. This was a mistake because I just now realized how limiting new world ingredients are.
>Loose access to pretty much all spices leaving only Mexican oregano, California bay leaf, sage, vanilla, chocolate, and peppers
>Very few green veggies.
>Only have Mexican squash, chayote squash, amaranth and dandelion greens(good luck getting a hold of those), nopale, tomatillo, and green bell peppers
>Those last three are sour which limits their uses greatly
>EVERYTHING else is a starch (beans, squash, potatoes, rice)
>Turkey is the only readily available meat
>Lose access to most fruits
>Only get to keep berries and a couple others
>Cant use any grain that isn't corn, quinoa, or amaranth
>The only saving graces are the variety of nuts and the avocado and tomato
>Though tomatoes have been done to death by everybody
That at first glance may seem lie a reasonable amount of ingredients to work with but keep in mind I now cant use onions, garlic, butter, milk, nor celery and its stocks. Roux is right out. Most flavor bases are gone. I also wanted to avoid drifting too close to Mexican cuisine since I wanted something unique to my region. Is there anything I am missing? How should I go about this?

You might be interested in The Sioux Chef.
He's an Arizona based chef who only uses organic seasonal ingredients. He's releasing a cook book soon. Only problem is that he claims he wants only Native American influences, but he plates like a parody of a French chef.

Is not paying for pizza if it arrives late a real thing in the us, like mandatory tipping?

It used to be but not really now unless it arrives super late
>>
>>9201120
Some pizza places used to advertise that if it wasn't delivered by a certain time than it was free.
I haven't seen ads like that in over two decades though. If they exist anymore it would be a rare thing.
>>
>>9201120
You never saw those pizza commercials where they say "your pizza's delivered in 30 minutes, or it's free"?

Are you talking about fat or gristle

fat

>>9201130
If there is excess fat, I like to cut it into small pieces and add it to the pieces of lean meat from the middle of the steak as I'm eating it.

I will go to a Lebanese restaurant later today. Please give me a quick overview of what I can expect and what I should try. I'm normally a picky eater when it comes to new and foreign things.

Kabseh. It's rice cooked in tomatoe sauce with roasted almonds/peanuts and a mild or spicy salad that you eat with the rice. Chicken goes best with it.

Kebab.

most lebanese restaurants are far best at doing appetizers, they are usually way better than the mains. so id order a large platter for sharing

It's alright, rice is soft.
Paella rice is really rigid and often tends to look raw unless you overcook it.

they've never steered me wrong. I like how they're willing to experiment and find out the best way to do something by making 3 or more variations to draw conclusions

Decent. Sometimes there's just retarded bullshit, but generally solid recipes. Kenji's kind of a faggot though.

Sorry, I mixed up my thoughts. Maximize your dollar with the lowest dollars per milliliter. Heaven's Hill is bottom shelf garb

It's pretty much perfect but I'm curious about new ideas.

Sparkling water instead of regular water

rum, triple sec, lemonade, and a few mint leaves on ice

My whole life I've taken comfort in knowing that cows are fairly stupid and that chicken are the offspring of dinosaurs, feeling no remorse for eating their good tasting meat
But lately, after spending time on a farm, I've felt even compassion for them. Meanwhile I feel absolutely no compassion for fish, they are utterly brainless monster like beings, and the meal Christ tells you to eat.....they spawn endlessly and are brainless, without feeling, or any care
Problem is just that, they look so disgusting and seem so alien I find it disgusting to eat them, how can I get over this and find fish to be appealing?

so let's say I'm at the dinner table and someone puts an entire fucking fish on a plate in front of me.
what do I even do?
>>
>>9198952
I've spent time on farms as well, and it doesn't change the fact that cows and pigs are tasty. Sheep less so, so I don't eat much lamb.
Chickens will peck each other to death out of sheer asshole-ness.
If they weren't food, they wouldn't exist.

>>9198962
>what do I even do?
You eat it, head, tail, bones, skin, eyes and all, or otherwise you are a 'child', a 'flyover', and 'squeamish' and /ck/ will judge you for leaving even a tiny bit of fish guts on the plate. And you're expected to eat the lemon slices too.

What kind of beans are you using?
>>
>>9198032
No beans.
This is going to be an example of a more traditional approach using only dried chiles, beef, onion, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper.
>>
You had better be using a more varied selection of peppers than just the guajillos in your pic.
