What foods/meals of other cultures have you learned about, in college or just in life, that you never knew about? Did you try it? Do you like it? Do you still eat it? What WON'T you try?
Well, one of my closest friends from college is of Polish descent. She hipped me to perogies. Man, yall, these are the bomb!!! They are kinda like filled dumplings. I like the potato ones. You boil them, then you saute them in butter. Scrumpdidliumptious!
At good ol' Witt, we used to have a festival called Crossroads, where the International students (and in early years, we Black students made soul food) would have booths and food from their respective countries. Oh, it was so fun and interesting to taste the different foods!!
As far as what I won't try, I'm not foolin' with animals that we consider domesticated over here. I'm not eating anyone's dog or cat. At least not to my knowledge, lol.
One of our HS student workers is Eritrean (Eritrea is a little country above Ethiopia that I knew nothing about) and he was telling me about his culture and what not. I asked him about a popular dish (since he told me about an Eritrean restaurant), and he said Tibse (TIB-see). So I'm excited to go to the restaurant and try that.
Share, share, share with us your experiences with different kinds of cuisine!!!
(Guess who has nothing to do at work today? LOL!)
