Hey international co/ck/s,

Say your friend from a different country were to visit you, and he asked you to give him a taste of your countries cuisine. What you serve and why?

[Anonymous No.3984863]

German burgers
Italian fries
Mexican enchiladas
Canadian bacon
American eggs
Japanese ramen

[Anonymous No.3984862]

Chicken and dumplings.

[Anonymous No.3984864]

inb4 dozens of fat, white Americans claim to be Japanese.

America here. Shit I dunno, by this point it is mostly your personal preference since there are many dishes in America. I guess related to my family cooking style this image. Made this for Halloween and it sums up the process for one of many dishes I like to cook. Excuse the /a/ faggotry since it's the easiest way to give the recipe and I'm too lazy to type it out here.

>that face when American

Fuck guess I'd have to pretend to be Southern or something.

>Louisianafag

where to begin...

[Anonymous No.3985385]

Ramen a la kawaii and hungo tsenko

[Anonymous No.3985388]

Arroz caldo.

The only reason why I'd serve it is because for me it's a dish I love and brings up a lot of good memories. So it's a feel good home cooked dish for me, and I'd want my international friend to feel it too.

I really have no idea how it works. Do you just boil the onion and potato until cooked and that's it?

[Anonymous No.3985407]

Germany here: Probably some Grützwurst/Tiegelwurst/Tote Oma (dead grandma).

It's blood sausage, rendered in a frying pan, with little bit of onions added. Sidedish would either be mashed potatos or fried potatos, and also Sauerkraut. It's such a perfectly german stereotypical meal.

[Anonymous No.3985443]

Dutch: either boerenkool, pic related
Or a dish from our wierd Dutchified Indonesian cuisine

[Anonymous No.3985444]

Pasta alla Norma (eggplant, tomato, basil and salty ricotta) from Catania, south Italy.
Coda alla vaccinara (Oxtail Stew) from Rome, center Italy.
Tiramisu (cake made with mascarpone&whipped cream, coffee, ladyfingers and a veil of cocoa on top) from Treviso, north Italy.

[Anonymous No.3985462]

>>3985441
that's more of a regional dish

[~ No.3985472]

>>3985462
Yeah might be, but I couldn't think of any dish, which isn't mostly regional....besides döner, which also different in different towns.
Nevermind.

[Anonymous No.3985489]

>>3985430

Heh, arguing about a matter of taste. Therefore, tl;dr

No, but seriously, raw onion. That isn't meant for eating. Why would the onion defend itself so ferociously, if it wanted to be eaten?

Raw onion is from hell I tell you.

[Anonymous No.3985493]

Sketti and butter

I'm from the south and don't really know what would be considered real southern food other than fried chicken. I'd probably make something like a giant feast of a breakfast.

[Anonymous No.3987463]

>>3987459
I love you, dude.

Anyway, I'd serve this. Sure, variations of that stuff are served in other countries as well, but I don't care. I've never seen them served the way we do here, with pretty much any topping imaginable, both savoury and sweet.

And just look at this guy. Look at how he's savouring his delicious food. Omnomnom.

[Anonymous No.3987469]

>>3985493
I actually made this the other week just for shits. Not gonna lie and I feel ashamed for saying this but the stuff was damn addicting. I know it sounds absolutely vile but the ketchup and butter come together in such a surprisingly perfect way. Texture is creamy and the taste is subtle but not unflavorful. Not to mention, as a college student it's a fucking cheap meal. I'll be making it again soon.

[Anonymous No.3987470]

I'd serve him hard alcohol, friends dont travel across the world to be wow'd with what cultural shit you can serve them, they expect a good liverblast and some local food.

Bacon & Eggs

[Anonymous No.3987503]

[Anonymous No.3987551]

I'd probably have to go with this. Excellent comfort food and you don't look like a shithead for eating it at any time of the day.

[Anonymous No.3987553]

>>3985443
I find some of that hybrid stuff to be fascinating. If you had to choose a single dish out of it, which would you recommend?

[Anonymous No.3987557]

I'd cook a brisket and win his heart and mind. He'd forever be an American patriot.

Yes, I'm cereal.

Hawaii here. There are a number of local dishes I always make sure people who come visit me try. Chief among these are kalua pig and poke, foods of the gods. Pictured: kalua pig. This is a peculiar presentation, though pretty. Generally this is served with two scoops of white rice and a scoop of macaroni salad. There is nothing on earth like kalua pig actually prepared right in an underground oven (a lot of places cheat and add artificial smoke flavoring to kitchen-cooked pork.) -Man- it's good.

I live in Norway, so I would serves some sad tacos.
Why? Taco is quickly becoming the national dish because it tastes good and require minimal skill and effort.

Reindeer. You can't come to Finland and not taste reindeer - it's fucking delicious, too!

I suppose being from Maine I would highlight New England over national cuisine;

One possible option
>Home Raised Roast Pork with Apples
>Maine Baked Beans [made from Jacobs Cattle Beans]
>Steamed Brown Bread
>Steamed Corn

Another Option
>Maine Lobster fresh from the Docks
>Steamed Fiddle-heads
>Steamed Rice
>Cream of Tarter Rolls
>Seasoned Lobster Butter

Scotfag. I'll pretend money is no object and ignore the seasonal issues and treat my guest to some of the most wonderful produce and products you get here. Every main component other than the wine comes from Scotland.

>To share:
Half kilo mussels in white wine with crusty bread
Arbroath smoked salmon and leafy salad

>Starter:
Pan fried sea dived scallops with Stornoway black pudding
>Main:
Aberdeen Angus chateaubriand medium rare with maris piper chips and wild mushrooms
>Dessert:
Strawberries and raspberries with very thick double cream
Selection of cheeses and oatcakes

>To drink:
Still and sparkling water
Pouilly fume with the fishy stuff, a good red bordeaux with the beef. Wine isn't my forte as you can see.
Irn Bru with the strawberries
A selection of single malts available after inc. Lagavulin 21, Laphroaig 15, Glenmorangie 18, Macallan 18, Auchentoshan 18 + others more curious or ubiquitous from Caol Ila to Glenfarclas to Talisker.

[Anonymous No.3987681]

Most countries think all Americans are like the stereotypes of Texcans or people from Louisiana...

If I had my way they would visit in the spring/summer/fall so I could pull things out of my garden to make. Some sort of salad with vinagarette, maybe a roast chicken cooked with garlic or onions, some potatoes, roasted beets or carrots, and something made from one of my fruit trees for dessert.

Should I answer for the country I live in now and trying to introduce people from back home to good food here or am I introducing food from my country to people in the country I live in currently or something else (cuz I grew up in a third country, different from my nation of birth and my nation of residence)? Cuz I've done both.

From Italy, raised in Philippines and live in America.
Would introduce Italians to bihon guisado and lechon cebuano or American biscuits and collard greens. Would introduce Americans to paccheri alla genovese and torta caprese or tapsilog and lumpia. Would introduce Filipinos to cous cous con zuppa di pesce alla lampedusana and pane napoletano or snapper soup and pepper pot (not pepperpot; two different things).

I absolutely love cullen skink (who the fuck doesn't?) but I couldn't squeeze it into my silly fantasy menu. Haggis, venison, pork and a plethora of seafood things were also sadly missed and I've almost completely ignored normal everyday Scottish dinners. The point was just to let the quality of the ingredients speak for itself.
