Idk the one time I went to Italy I remember not recognizing the taste of the toppings at all X-D
There used to be Peking duck pizza at one of the restaurant chains here. They no longer offer it ;_; Today I also found out that they no longer offer Miso salad. Boo >_< Peking duck pizza was the #1 reason I used to regularly eat there. My dad (who doesn't like pizzas) liked it too.
You know, I think Italian pizza might be the one that differs the most, because they don't have anything to prove since they invented the pizza. And I think they use Italian cheese rather than Swiss? I don't know, I've never been to Italy.
Okay, maybe there are toppings you would have a hard time to find in a French pizza restaurant. But then, surely if you were here and decided to eat pizza (rather than the our very good food *waves flag*), you would try the ones you don't usually see at home?
Now that you mention it, I'm not sure I've ever tried Peking duck, let alone on a pizza. *adds to list*
*g* If/when I go to France, I would definitely order French food instead of pizza. Promise. I do love escargot. IMO duck liver is overrated. Other than that I haven't really had that many French food (I've never even tried macaroons).
It's hard to get Peking duck wrong (At least, I've never gone to a Chinese restaurant that was bad enough that their Peking duck tastes bad). The best I've had was in Beijing, but other than Peking duck and steamed buns I prefer Southern Chinese/Hong Kong cuisine.
I do love escargot That's not a thing we hear very often! I like them too. I do like duck liver, but don't have many occasions to have it.
You know, I was trying to make a list of French dishes that I especially like, but it only reminded me that there are so many of them, and some only representative of what you'd eat in certain areas of France.
I love snails, and I definitely love the escargot sauce. There's also a spicy Korean snail dish which I like; none of the Korean restaurants here carry it though. I think I was expecting foei gras to be fattier? I like pâté better; not that I've had a lot of them. You don't really see pâté in grocery stores here.
I'll try making the potatoes; they look awesome =) I'm usually meh about peas, but cooking them with butter lettuce and chicken stock sounds good.
I don't think I've had any good meringue...i.e. I probably had them in my birth country??? <--questionable
( ... )
Garlic and parsley and so, so much butter. Good thing I don't have it very often, this is definitely no diet food.
I'm so curious about Korean food. A friend of mine expressed a wish to try a Korean restaurant, I hope I'll be able to tag along. That is, if we can find an actual Korean restaurant around here. With the craze about sushis, even Chinese restaurants offer them these days.
Oh, foie gras is fat, the fat is what gives it the smooth texture. Not having the opportunity to eat pâté - or spend ten minutes deciding between the hundred sort of cheese you find in any supermarket - would be very hard on me indeed.
I made both last week-end^^
cooked to death - *mentally compares to English food* though to be fair, this is also my father's idea of 'cooking' anything.
Being biased is more than okay.
...and I don't think I'm quite ready for Korean tacos. This sounds not right.
Forgot to add: I also found a book about Asian food last week-end, and it includes a recipe for red bean paste. I've been wanting to try it for so long \o/
Hope you had a good one =)

I had a very enjoyable day: saw old friends and met new ones, and bought many books. Plus, pizzas *\o/ *

*wonders what pizzas taste like in France*

My guess is it tastes pretty much the same, but comes in smaller servings?

Here are a couple of favorites of mine, if you feel like giving them a try: le gratin dauphinois, and les petits pois à la française (just a recipe for cooking peas, really ( ... )
