The Billy ethnic food tally

[billy_]

Because I'm not ready to sleep, and because I want to keep track of it, a list of nationalities' whose food I've tried in restaurants. Hopefully posting this will motivate me to expand the list too.

I'm so jealous! I'm trying to venture out and try new foods but I'm still in the very early stages. I tried Persian and Japanese over the holidays and tried Thai last month.

I'm aiming to get some Indian very soon as I realized I LOVE curry!

From my experiences, Indian's very hit or miss. It's a lot more reliant on spices (mostly curry, of course), which are powerful enough that they need to be used in just the right amounts.

I hope you enjoy it when you do go!

I didn't know you were Colombian. I just searched and there ARE a few Colombian places in Chicago. So, added to the list!

I've wanted to try a burek ever since I saw Rachael Ray order one on Food Network's $40-A-Day. She had it at a Serbian restaurant. Don't recall which city...I think Milwaukee?

Wasn't that Taz's name?

Serbian in Milwaukee eh? I can do that!

[forsberg]

I think that was taz's last name. It's been like, what, 10 years since I've last communicated with him? That Serbian place is in Milwaukee! Click on Burek for name of restaurant and location: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_ad/episode/0,1976,FOOD_9947_23832,00.html

I thought I remembered you had mentioned this. I had a burek the other week at the Bosnian place. So you can do that here if you want. :P
