It may look like your toilet after a night on the piss in South America, but Ethiopian food tastes great.

Oh, no one's denying that. It's just that Africans completely lack the skill of plating.

>>8675932
Ive never had kimchi, is it similar to saurkraut?

>>8676372

It's like sauerkraut, but spicy.

>>8676357
You can't be seriously saying that based on - self-admittedly - looking at a wikipedia article. Gorramn.

Recently I've been impressed by the following: Georgian, Uighur, Serbian, Yemeni.

Perhaps. I'll admit my ignorance, I haven't eaten a ton of African food in my life (though I want to).

That said, I feel like it's fair to state that some cultures are better at flavor than presentation. I'll shut up if you show a good looking African dish. Meat on skewers doesn't count.

Break it down for me:

If I'm doing one of these this week, what is the dish I HAVE to make?

>tries to make food from online sources and recipes
>doesn't know if he made it correctly because he's never been to the region.

is this what basement dwelling poorfags do on their "staycation"?

A lot of these are the same foods with similar names and slightly different variations.

Everyone has a form of kibbe and kofte

>>8676426

Or, people who like trying new things.

Don't be so cynical.

Georgian: Kind of like Turkish with the richness level of Russian. Awesome cheese breads, salads, dumplings and spiced stews. Great wine.
Uighur: Chinese food seasoned with lots of cumin and chili pepper. Lots of lamb and thick hand pulled noodles.
Serbian: Kings of grilled meat served with cabbage slaw. Awesome fruit brandies.
Yemeni: Lamb broth, good spiced vegetable stews, grilled meat.
