I have never left the continental United States and I never will.

You need to leave. Fucking Brazilians. Holy shit you brownoids getting the internet ruined EVERYTHING.

>>18789489
>Colombian Rice balls
Back in my 18s-20s I used to work in my dads business and I remember eating those balls every fucking time I had the chance.

>>18789489
Could probably make it myself since none of the ingredients are exotic but I doubt I could do it nearly as well as that restaurant in Kutna Hora
>potato dumplings filled with shredded duck meat served with sauerkraut and fried onions

>>18789489
A bowl of noodles at some shitty shack in china, it was surprisingly good. I dont think its a popular known dish, just the owner's original recipe with a bunch of tasty toppings. I really wish such places existed here, but cleaner. Something about eating a bowl of noodles at an open restaurant on a stool is comfy

>>18789528
This except I've never left Dixie and I want to escape

>>18789489
Pandan sweets from Malaysia, the pyramidal ones (similar to pic related). Had them as a child, found them in a shop back home once about fifteen years later, never seen them since.

>>18789489
When I went to Greece about 20 years ago and had what would become Nutella in the years to come (theirs was a different brand name I don't remember). It was so good on the fresh baked bread and tasted like hazelnuts with a bit of chocolate. When I tried Nutella after it came over to the USA, I was disappointed with how sugary and shitty it was. Barely tasted like hazelnuts at all. I probably won't ever have the Greek version of it again because traveling is really fucking expensive and I've got other stuff I need to spend money on now

Crumpets

When I went overseas I went to Finland and there was no meal I missed. Everything was awful btw. I was amazed they even had burgers (unironically).

I miss some french wine, but I can still get it here, just have to drive an hour.

>>18789489
I miss Mexican food from Mexico/Cali.

I live in Northern Canada, but when I was a kid we hosted a Mexican college student for a year(he watched me and my brother for a few hours on weekdays in exchange for room and board) and he'd smuggle up his mother's home cooking every time he did a visit back to Tijuana.

Had a bunch of family in Cali as well so got a lot of Excellent Northern Mexican food over the years, but theres nothing within five hours thats even credible tex mex.

>>18789489
About ten years ago I went to a Thai restaurant in New Zealand and ordered some beef thing and it was delicious. On the menu it was called "beef star" or something so idk what it actually was. Little thin strips of beef with just the right amount of spice, and some veggies too (but I can't remember what). I could go to any Thai restaurant on the planet and I'd have no idea what to even ask for to get that meal again. It's gone forever.

>>18789489
The baozi from this shop by the Drum tower in Beijing. Small place which only served pork bao which was just incredible

>>18789758
They're called dodol, anon. They're not really pandan sweets, just so happened that you had pandan flavored dodol. There's durian flavor too, but the original is basically palm sugar candy. Pic related, green is pandan, yellow durian and dark brown is palm sugar.

You can look up how to make it yourself, shouldn't be too hard to find the ingredients.

This is just an overcomplicated discontinued food thread. Anyway, there's a checkered kind of Batonio that I can't find anywhere anymore.

>>18789489
Dill sauce on fish and chips. I can't get over the dill.

>>18789489
Yorkshire pudding. It's not hard to make but I don't have an oven at home.

>>18789489
I was staying in rural Ireland once and my host's neighbour had been out fishing that day and caught a load of herring. We ate incredibly fresh herring garnished with just some salt, pepper, olive oil and a bit of lemon. It was heavenly. Anytime I've looked for herring it's either pickled or smoked and even store bought herring doesn't even come close to how delicious those fish were. I don't even like fish that much normally

>>18789489

Japanese Udon soup
I made a dozen of recipes but I can't get the flavour using the same ingredients even msg. Udon noodles are very hard to get here.

Not really about the food as much as the experience. Shared a whole goat with 8 of my Navy boys in Dubai. Then we went and got disappointed by ep.7 in a 4d theater

Never been overseas and don't care to go anytime soon.

>>18790319
I'm sure that's not all you sailors shared that night.

Got one these couldn't eat it all but was delicious and fun, also real fish and chips from a pub and spotted dick for dessert
Good times visiting family

>>18789489
Shitty grilled squid on a stick from a fair stand in Japan. It was fucking delicious and it’s not the same at home

>>18789528
Good.

a strange soup from a random izakaya in shimbashi
fish and chips from a 4 star restaurant in cork
i dream of this shit

Bigos in Poland. I never could come close to the thing by myself.

American BBQ made me kneel in delight

>>18789489
I've never had som tam even remotely as good as in Thailand.

>>18789489
What is this?

>>18790748
This post is a great honor to my people

>>18789489
>that shitty "recreation" that wasn't even a thin stew and didn't even have 5 kinds of rice

>>18789957
Open a restaurant yourself, anon. Sounds like an underserved market.

>>18790766
Actually it says: Who is this?
It's 駄菓子 (dagashi) which is just cheap candy, probably 90% sugar

>>18789489
A sort of seafood bisque we would eat every Wednesday overseas in Qatar on deployment. It was creamy, tomatoey, and carried a bit of pumpkin or a mix of gourds. It had some white fish, imitation crab, shrimp, and maybe clams every now and then. It was a highlight, and many of us miss it to this day.

>>18789489
I had a mixed grilled seafood plate at this random restaurant in Spain that was godly. They had this seasoned oil they dowsed everything in that made it taste insane and the seafood was so fresh.

Have not really had anything close in terms of quality, price, or taste.

>>18789489
unpasteurized french cheese and butter from Normandy on a baguette. Those people know how to live

>>18789489
Got fresh-off-the-tree pineapple in Maui once.
Damn that stuff was good.

>>18790761
Don't worry, fella, I'll let you know the secret: mortar and pestle and pic related. Lime juice, chilis, garlic, sauce, then add the papaya strips a little at a time as you mash. Easy peasy. Fish sauce to taste.

>>18789489
went to Sri Lanka years ago. maybe 10 years after their war ended?
they have this spring roll thing that was really savoury and pretty delicious. I don't remember what they call it and I couldn't find it where i live.

italian salamis from the tuscany region, they don't export a lot of them

>>18790849
pineapples don't grow on trees

>>18790838
hnnnnngghhh...

>>18790876
I was conflating them with modern bananas trees in my head (the kind that reproduce through runners rather than seed), since they have/had plantations for both there.

I'm the Italian Alps, more specifically Valle d'Aosta. I stayed at a farmhouse/hotel/winery. The owner had multiple Michelin stars for wine and cooked meals in her kitchen for her guests using only plants and animals grown on her farm (there was only 3-4 rooms, this place was on a mountaintop in the middle of nowhere overlooking another mountain with a waterfall surrounded by her own vineyard with miles of grapes. Literally fucking heaven.)

Everything that woman made was life-changing. But the dish that had me the most was hazelnuts, cooked inside a wrapping of rosemary-infused lard. It might sound strange but it was probably the most incredible thing I've ever tasted in my life.

She's since shut down her farm to guests, so I know I'll never experience it again...

>>18789489

This

>>18790857
Nice, that looks good, his website even has a music video lol.
I also know the best ramen in the world, it took me a while to find because I couldn't remember the name. It's called Syugetu Takamatsu or 周月, you can find it on google maps in Japan. I haven't been to the original but I frequented one in Shanghai and was incredible, they use some kind of special fish powder, pickled bamboo shoots, and some kind of black pig for the pork belly, I've never had anything like that broth.

>>18789489
Real feta cheese. I can't wait to go to greece again

>>18791087
We have it in spain too. It's basically a pig. Still nice.

supermac's

I can live without it

>>18791272
>i am this guy

btw, this is the best shit ever. Ate it in HK
and yes, some asian girls got BWC
after all, it's the natural order

>>18789768
You're talking about Merenda, right?

>>18789489
Ragout of wild boar on gnocchi, in Toscana.

Never had anything like it since, the depth of flavor was astounding.

raw cheeses

liberica coffee

Haggis in Scotland
Steak tartar in Chartres
H and cheese baguette from a cart in Paris

>>18791444
Meant to say ham and cheese kek

>>18790009
Yes, that’s them.
Thanks for that, but I live in an extremely remote place, I think I’ve seen pandan here once and never a durian. I do make Nonya Kaya on occasion as we sometime see coconuts here, but not often.

Hang out in the bar wait for it to get done, worth the wait

Crepes in Paris, from a stand next to some building with a bunch of big pipes on it

A jambon-beurre sandwich the ingredients are simple
>french baguette
>butter
>jambon de Paris
Simple enough but if you don't have the exact right kind of butter or ham, it simply doesn't compare.

>>18791478
Just buy a whole piglet and do it yourself

>>18791483

>>18791483
Add some arugula to it as a green. Trust me, it complements the ham and butter really well.

>>18790748
For all their failings, Americans really are the uncontested masters of all things barbecue

Mofongo
Currywurst
Honestly surprised I haven't seen currywurst anywhere, seems like it'd be a hit late-night food in any american city

doner kebab spot close to the apt I was staying at in Munich
it probably wasn't all that special but I was hungover and it was exactly what I needed

>>18790146
If you have an asian market anywhere near you they may have them in the freezer section. Surprised me when I first saw them there having only ever bought dried noodles before then

>>18790742
how are you making it?
I've only made it on my own so I don't have the comparison but it's always an amazing stew

>>18789768
Anon, nutella is the shit tier of hazelnut spreads, literally any south/east yuropoor one BTFOs it. Try picrel, j got it from some yellow tourist trap candy store in Minnesota, but it's available online too.

>overseas
I've never left the USA.

However, I haven't had a Choco-cola in 20 years and I miss it dearly.

>>18789489
I had a crepe from a street vendor in the old town part of Quebec. It had a chocolate icing on it and it was heavenly. Never had anything like it here in the States.

>>18789528
Sad life desu

In prague

Re Gan Mian (Hot and dry noodles)

I lived in Wuhan long before the COVID thing and literally no one outside of China makes Hubei dishes

>>18791581
There’s some curry wurst places in NYC.

>>18790827
this shit tickles my memory for some reason

Ikayaki from a tiny vendor stationed on the half-way point up Mt. Fuji. It was insane how tender it was and the marinade was on point. Nothing here in the colonies can come close, not even those hole-in-the-wall asian markets

>>18793567
is that a male or a female and where can I see the rest of this

I had a pink soup in Thailand that was good af. Yen ta fo, it was called. Had squid and fishballs and prawns and other seafood in it.

>>18791478
>me on the right

>>18789489
The ones in America taste worse than the ones in Australia, I swear.

Variously called ‘beef rolls’ or ‘pan rolls’, here’s a recipe:

Mmmm white bread,butter,and ham. I eat those the day after easter.

>>18790146
>Udon noodles are very hard to get here.
no they're not
i live in literal bumfuck nowhere and udon noodles are 60c a pack in every supermarket
if you live in a town of 12k pop or larger you guaranteed have an asian supermarket you can get them from, plus you live in the age of the internet where you can get literally anything delivered to your house within 24h

Liang Pi
I could make it at home but I'm lazy
I see it every now and then when I'm in the large city near me, but that isn't often and I usually want to eat other things

>>18790146
>Udon noodles are very hard to get here
do you live in antarctica?

>>18795201
And when I went to Hong Kong, I must have eaten my weight in fish balls
there was a stall near our airbnb and one day I think I went there five times

>>18789972
I've been to a few Thai places here (I live in Auckland). Do you know where the Thai place was near to? I could possibly help

>be weeb
>Visit Japan
>Try whale tempura
>(May have been dolphin)
Let me tell you, this shit tasted exactly like Chicken McNuggets, but not the shitty, new, all white-meat chicken. I wouldn't go back just for that but if I'm ever back in Japan I will probably seek it out. Cured of my weebdom, I'm not sure how soon that will be.

>>18795196
>>18795207
Anon clearly meant the flavor of the broth, not the noodles.

>>18795220
>tasted exactly like Chicken McNugget
Why not just stay home and order chicken nuggets, plus a couple escorts with the money you saved from not going to japan

>>18795261
Are you braindead or something?
>not the shitty, new, all white-meat chicken
>I wouldn't go back just for that
As for (you)r
>a couple escorts
Why waste money on what I can get for free? Like, this isn't just your reading comprehension, you may actually be retarded.

Döner and pide in Germany. The Germans I was with never wanted to eat it because it's so routine to them, but it was by far my favorite food there. Suçuk (the sausage in my pic) is like pepperoni but better.

>>18789528
As it should be

>>18789684
>potato dumplings
is it mashed potatoes wrapping around the duck?

>>18789714
Take some carpetbaggers with you
