Different cultures don't only have different languages, they also have different food!

Here's the place to put recipes that are typical for your country and to discuss anything food related.

Guten Appetit!
Bon appetit!
Enjoy your meal!

I'll start with a typical German recipe:

Quote:
Koenigsberger Klopse
An unusual dish from Germany, which taste very delicious.
The anchovies, capers and lemon juice give it a lovely tangy taste.

16 oz ( 450g ) of ground beef
1 large onion ( peeled and chopped )
10 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
2 tablespoons capers, chopped
1 large egg, beaten
2 - 3 slices of white bread, soaked in water
juice of 1 lemon
2 bay leaves
2 cloves
1/2 tablespoon of sunflower oil
salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon of flour mixed with water

gently fry the onion until glazed, put aside.

mix the ground beef, most of the chopped anchovies, capers, egg and the soaked bread which has been squeezed dry, together. Then mix in the cooled fried onion and some salt and pepper

form little meatballs, put aside

bring in a wide saucepan a fair amount of water to the boil, having salt, the lemon juice, the bay leaves and cloves added.

place the meatballs into the hot water and bring it slowly back to the boil then lower the heat and let it simmer gently for 30 minutes

when cooked, mix some of the stock( the water where the meatballs cooked in ) with the mixed flour, some of the anchovies and capers, bring to boil and let simmer for 2-3 minutes

pour over the meatballs and serve with boiled potatoes or rice and your favorite vegetable

oo, the Koenigsberger Klopse looks yummy 3nodding

I was in Italy this summer, and I must say that the cuisine there was absolutely delicious. smile Then again, macarnoi/spaghetti is my all-time favourite food, so maybe I'm a bit biased sweatdrop

Although I've never tried any, I'm dying to get my hands on French food. Contrary to popular belief, snails are frog legs are actually a rarity in France surprised French people don't eat them at home - they're more of a restaurant food that some French people might eat once a year (for example, at Christmas), but that's it, really. Oh, and many French people never eat snails at all... ninja

Speaking of French food, there's a book out now called "French Women Don't Get Fat". I know that it's available in Canada and the US, but I'm not sure if it's available in England/in any language other than English. Anyway, it's written by a woman who grew up in France (she's French) but now lives in America. Throughout the book, she talks about French dieting and lifestyle, and how it is that French women are so thin blaugh domokun

As for Canadian food... the only Canadian food that I know of is Quebec food ninja Some of their more popular dishes are the tortière and poutine smile I don't have the recipes for them at the moment, but I'll post them soon once I find them ninja

They are so delicious! my favourites too wink

Hmm an argentinian typic recipe:

CREOLE ROAST

Ingredients:

Roast with Bone
Sausages
Puddings
Gridiron Sausages
Chimichurry (typical preparation)
Salt

Preparation:

A fire is prepared with wood and paper, then one adds coal and wait until it warms up; after that, meat is placed above a gridiron with warm coal, before salty, wait 15 minutes to place the sausages and the gridiron sausages, to cook approximately during 45 minutes. Then, put the chimichurry to the meat and to eat the sausages between bread.

It's soup, I dunno what beetroot is though sweatdrop *bad English*

Anyway, it's a soup with stuff in it... and it's eaten cold during the summer (to keep you cool), and hot in the winter (to keep you warm). whee
