had some in minnesota
can't find it anywhere in seattle

>>8829118
I that that is supposed to be a Hmong (the Asians from Gran Torino) dish, here's a recipe for Khaub Piaj:

>>8829118

I'm from Seattle, I'm sure somewhere in the International District would sell it. Looks kinda like Congee, but I saw its a chicken noodle soup.

Hákarl. Also deer meat, even though I live in Russia where there are ethnicies who consume a lot of it, Moscow is too far away from these northern regions.

Not all that obscure, but haggis.

>>8829110

I had some of those at a Cuban restaurant in Santa Barbara, California. Shit was extra delicious.

>>8829118
>>8829127
That's some good looking pasta guys

Why do you have to "scoop the foam out" when you boil the chicken

>>8829143

If you don't know how to prepare venison it will taste like ass. It's definitely good if you know what you're doing.

>>8829143
I hear that the smell of Hákarl is far worse than its taste.

>>8829118
>>8829127
>>8829132
>can't find it in Seattle
>made by a small ethnic group
Just start making it yourself and start selling it
All the hipsters will eat it

>>8829161
Only if you LIKE the taste of piss-soaked fish.
It tasted like fishy ammonia.
It wasn't as mouth-encompassingly evil as the sursrtomming I tried, but it was still pretty fucking bad.

dim sum, but mostly because it's on the opposite side of houston and i don't want to drive an hour and a half to get it

I dont know why but it looks delicious

Ethiopian and Hawaiian food don't seem to be available in Singapore.

Oh, and poutine.

Wish I had an indian place nearby.

>>8829299
Hawaiian food doesn't encompass many things, anon. Aside from boar, poi and a few other things.

>>8829118
just looks like rice noodles

>>8829319
went to an indian buffet near me

once you try indian once you'll have had enough for a long time, it's not that remarkable as it looks or sounds

>>8829330
Honestly, that's kind of the impression I've gotten, but I still want to try it to satiate my curiosity.

>>8829319
How far into the flyovers do you have to be for there to not be an Indian restaurant around?

>>8829190
If you have enough friends going with you, the occasional trip should be worth it. Never go for dim sum with less than four people, and eight is better.

>>8829299
Poutine is easy to make yourself. You can also substitute other cheeses if fresh curds aren't available.

>>8829323
"Other things" being Spam?

>>8829352
Isn't the flavour/texture of cheese curds (squeaky, I've read) what makes the dish?

>>8829352
I was trying to think more traditional, but yea like spam. Spam musubi, Moco Loco and....anything from Zippys I guess? It's hard for me to say what is and isn't Hawaiian food because you've got "local" food and then "Hawaiian" food, and the former is just....a nightmarish mishmash of all kinds of crap from the various immigrants here, mostly philipino and Japanese as well as light hints of Hawaiian. And then you've got actual hawaiian food like as I said, Kalua pork, Poi, this one dish whos name i forget, it's salt-fish and some other stuff wrapped in a leaf and steamed i think.

I WANT SCOTCH EGGS

>>8829330
you probably went somewhere shit then
i could eat biryani every day for the rest of my life

>>8829110
Those Brazilian "cochinhas" look fucking delicious. Imma go with that

>>8829380
It's better with fresh curds, and of course more authentic, but a grated mild cheese will still give you the right idea.

I get at least one coxinha every time I go to the Brazilian bakery. They're like half a pound and $2. They also sell miniature frozen ones in bulk so you can make them at home.

I always wanted to try Indian food but there were no places where I lived. I went to the next city over to try it and I'm OK with not eating it again.

I went to other Indian places thinking maybe it was the place but from place to place AND dishes, i was youtube testing things, food and drink, reading what's good but none of it was that good. I can never eat it again and be OK. Naan is OK though, but that's just bread, it doesn't count.

Could it be its not americanized? Chines food and Mexican food and Italian food, ect are and they taste great. But even the authentic food from those cultures is good. Idk what's with me and Indian food.

Oh basmati rice is good too.

>>8829110
I live in Bumfuck USA and can't find any authentic Chinese food, and I'm especially looking for Sichuan food. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE American-Chinese cuisine. But I had mapo doufu from a legit place once and it blew my mind. I need dan dan mian, shredded potatoes with peppers, double cooked pork, real gong bao ji ding... All looks/sounds fucking delicious and I can't find any of it in a sea of sugary sesame chicken and pork fried rice.

I want o try koala bear because I want to know if it tastes like eucalyptus

>>8829110
Not exactly a dish but I'd love to try edamame, which is impossible to get here.

Romanesco isn't obscure, or even tasty. It's boring.

Obscure in britbongland: poutine. I just can't find cheese curds no matter how hard I look.

>>8829432
You can make scotch eggs easy peasy, anon. All you need is some pork mince.

>>8829491

a deep fried pear with worms in it?

>>8830792

Quebec cheese curds are what make poutine.. not trolling, are they available in France..?

>>8829110
One of those fancy noodle soups.

Only Asian shit you can get here is stir fry, Mongolian BBQ and Sushi.

>>8830559
Just ask your local chinese place to make it and offer to pay extra/provide extra ingrediants. A lot of times they'll smile and be happy to oblige in my experience.

>>8829110
oh god this was my favorite salgado, top tier

>>8831167

This. Even if it's not on the normal menu a lot of chinese places will happily make the "real deal".

Also, consider learning to make those recipes yourself.

Is baobab fruit any good?

>>8830799

They don't have to be from Quebec, they just have to be fresh curds as opposed to curds that have been pressed and aged to make standard cheese.

You ought to be able to get cheese curds from any place that makes cheese since they're the first step in the cheese-making process.

You can also make them yourself. Just google how to make cheddar cheese and ignore everything except the first few steps.

>>8831260
No longer legal. Even the French considered it so barbaric that they banned it.

>>8831869
If you're not totally flyover, go to a farmer's market and get some.

>>8831874
Actually it was pressure from conservationists. The population of ortolan apparently declined by 30% in the last couple decades.

Biltong, these South African jerky sticks I had when I went on safari. Our guide gave them to us as a snack along with coffee with a shot of Amarula. Fucking delicious.

>>8831260
I'm pretty sure that photo is taken from the blog of the chef employed by the show Hannibal, who made her prop-ortolan out of marzipan

>>8832350
Trader Joes carried these for a few months and they were fucking delicious. They stopped carrying them and i'm pissed so I probably have to make my own.

>>8829330
That's about as retarded as making a judgement about another whole cuisine like Chinese or Thai based on one restaraunt buffet. India has numerous cooking styles and there are restaraunts of varying quality... my god.

>>8835413

Well, to be fair I am biased because I hate hard-boiled eggs (they are dry and have no flavour). But the smell of a scotch egg makes me fucking gag, it's the cheap meat you find in most ones. I guess if you made some yourself with good ingredients then it would be more tolerable.

Cheese shop. Most groceey stores here in Canada.

>>8835409
They are manna from heaven

>>8831260
Honestly it's a bunch of theater without much of an interesting experience food-wise. It pretty much tastes like quail, which is nice but not a life changer. Not that anything is wrong with a big production and secrecy and all that fun stuff, but speaking only of the food, it's no biggie.

>>8835426
They're mostly dough with small chunks of octopus in them - you don't need the freshest octo in the world. Go for it.

>>8829330
Find a better indian place somewhere my nigger.

>>8830671
If you go to a more upscale grocery store by you you should be able to find some.

We can only recommend where to get spice bags, its not a recipe.
Id love to see a homemade venture though, feel free to pioneer that shit.

>>8829330
I get what you mean, a lot of those places throw loads of coriander and cumin in ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. Gets old fast.

>>8835426
Thanks to weeb culture you can find places that sell them easily, I think it also helps a lot that the fish industry here is solid, do you live near the coast?

They're actually pretty shit. Blazing hot balls of dough with a micron of octopus inside.

>>8835426
It's street food. Just buy a fucking takoyaki pan and use frozen octopus. More upscale italian restaurants typically serve octopus so ask where they get theirs if you cant find it. You can probably use the takoyaki pan for other foods too if you decide you don't like it.

I'm assuming donair poutine is different though because donair sauce is sweet and kapsalon doesn't have gravy. Can anyone confirm if the garlic sauce in kapsalon is sweet or savoury?

That said, I haven't tried donair poutine either. They're a dime a dozen here too.

If I want to try a dish I make it. Not all of us are microwave chefs in moms rich black boyfriends basement.

most bongs grew up wit supermarket scotch eggs, and in fact most of us probably didn't even know there was such a thing as a fresh or homemade one until recently.

the supermarket ones are perfectly round and soggy and more or less flavourless. they\re generally the fare of school lunches and shit picnics. then there are the mini ones filled with chopped up egg, sometimes mixed with a curry powder mayonnaise. they're even more shit.

as shit as they are, i grew up loving them.

the fresh/homemade ones are nothing like them and a relatively recent trend. they are crispy and the yolk is usually less set. you can get them at gastropubs, usually alongside sausage rolls and other picnicy food. there is also a trend for ones with different kinds of meat, fish, black pudding... it is an exciting time to be alive.

when i make them i usually squeeze sausages out into a bowl and mix with toasted ground fennel seed, minced garlic, smoked paprika, lots of pepper and lemon zest and potentially minced bacon or some kind of paté/rilletes or something. oh and fresh herbs. i like to bind it with cornflour then get it very cold and roll it out with a rolling pin for a tighter texture closer to the precise ones you get at the supermarket. but a loose, homemade texture is great too.

Mongolian Buuz. If there's an actual Mongolian restaurant in NorCal that isn't a bullshit stone grill, I'd be happy to go.
