Got any good food from your country? Post them!

I see your bratwurst and raise you this:

Sausage cooked with peppers, onion, garlic, carrots in a tomato sauce.

Yeah, this tastes nice but it lacks two most important things for me:

1.) it's not from Thuringia (big minus)
2.) you need a pot and can't just eat it on the go



The other type of food from here is Thüringer Rostbrätl (roasted beef served with bread, caramelized onions and beer).

[Slant]

I just don't consider "fast food" . . . food

Careful. Thuringia hasn't exported much, but you're dissing the best grilled sausage in existance on this planet.

idk, Wisconsin beer brats are pretty badass. Boil the bratwurst with beer and onions, then grill them on high heat to get a char. Goes with mustard, caramelized onions, and either a pickle or tangy relish.

[Slant]

And I am sure we can make a wonderful dish from that sausage instead of just sticking it on a bun and eating it on the road as if someone is chasing us and we cannot stand in front of a table and eat

Cut it in slices, caramelise onions on a pan, add the sausage then thicken the fat from cooking it with some white wine and add the sauce to pasta!

That's not why you stuff ground meat into intestines, you heathen! You do it precisely so you can stick it on a bun and have the best thing to any meal, meat, pure and unadulterated by fancy "cuisine" ruining the taste of grilled sausage with flavour killers like white wine.

Your story is incorrect. We stick it on a bun so that we can hold a beer in our other hand.

Oh, now everyone's a sausage expert all of a sudden.

In all seriousness, that's the beauty about sausages, you can do just about anything with them. Including, and I shit you not, putting them on a pizza.

Ah this I can respect.

There are people who do NOT put sausage on their pizza? Why would they do this?
Heck I remember having pizza whose crust was stuffed with sausage.

Hell yeah, never disrespect a man who wants to stuff sausage and beer into his face simultaneously.

Anyway, someone probably already posted this one, but (imo) one of the best things in the US is seafood gumbo:

Depends, of course there's kiosks selling them too. In general grilling events are more of a social thing here and bear little semblance of actual visiting a fast food restaurant. My company actually has a special brick-made oven for that outside. We also have a Bratwurst museum here. It's simple and delicious and has a long tradition and as Slant said, we don't have many food to export, well except for Thüringer Klöße (raspeballs) which is the historical result of people constantly being impoverished here and making delicious food out of simple stuff.

Doesn't mean I don't like Mediterranean food though.

Just remembered, Wisconsin has a mustard museum, and also a sausage museum. Seriously. Although, that's where most Germans landed when they immigrated.

Fritaja is not bad either...its pretty much just eggs and some stuff you trow into it:

(i like mine with some meat, spices and potato)

Štruklji:

(you place it in cloth and boil it)

Cant go wrong with Cviček:

Gumbo is just amazing. And it can be very tricky to get just right. We make something similar in Greece but the tomato sauce is quite thicker.

Yeah. That picture has thinner sauce than how I make it. There's no tomato in the sauce, just an extremely dark roux and stock. Okra or gumbo fillet to thicken more. The spice comes from the sausage it's simmered with. Can do anything with it from that point. At a cajun restaurant I worked at, the gumbo pot was basically food disposal. We'd throw pulled pork, smoked chicken, random bits of different sausage. The shrimp always had to be done to order, though, because it only takes a minute or two to cook.

[Puupi]

Gumbo looks so good I gotta try cooking it some day. Found quite a few easy recipes for it already.

[belfpala]

I never liked darker roux, I just don't like the starchy taste And hey, a lot of great foods are essentially what home cooks created to deal with leftovers, like pizza and pies.

That's a great observation. A lot of well-known US cuisine is poor folk food that our immigrants brought over, then modified by what was available in the area.

Do eeeet!!!! It's not hard. Just takes some love.

I was thinking chicken+chorizo sausage+prawns as the meat, is it a good combo?

[belfpala]

Yes, absolutely. Honestly, make a gumbo base, then accumulate leftover meat and store (freezer is fine). When you decide to have gumbo, heat up the base, toss in the meats, and let it go for a while. The prawns, cook separately.

If you're a Game of Thrones fan, it's essentially Louisiana's version of the bowl of brown. No human meat, preferably.

[Slant]

This, for anyone not knowing it, is something you would definitely kill for if you knew how good it was.
