Being a little bit African

[Platypus]

I just realised the couscous and the rooibos tea I'm enjoying with my lunch are both African, I don't think I've used them at the same time before.

Anyone got bits of cuisine they like that come from somewhere distinct from their "native" background?

Every day my friend. However, I met a fellow Venezuelan who is in the catering business and even makes his own cheeses. I may be stocking up on good old fashioned Venezuelan eats, soon. ;)

I'll be having a few of those next Saturday... again. :p

Since my genealogy traces back to France before my ancestors came to Quebec, I'd have to say everytime I have wine or cheese.

When I think of German food, I normally think of sauerkraut and beer. I do not like either. When I was growing up, one of our neighbors had been raised in Germany and she made a lot of baked goods at Christmas that we all enjoyed. I think I need to go to Germany one of these days and see what I am missing. I like Mexican food best, but I don't have a drop of Mexican blood in me.

My lineage is Finn-Scot - warrior races - we ate everyone's food when we could take it.

And we did.

Mexicans as it would be have a bit of native American Indian in there
perhaps you get it from that end.

German food is great.My favorite is Yeager Schnitzel, two thin, breaded pork cutlets in thick mushroom gravy, served with browned potatoes.often times
they use lamb.
