Okay kids. I know a lot of you have been out of the USA on several occasions...some of you are even out of the country right now! So! What I'd like from you guys is to tell me some of the foods you tried in other countries that you've never had/seen here. Names of dishes help. Descriptions are okay if names are lacking. Telling me what you

-Sticky toffee pudding. Pub dessert.
-Doner kebab. Ultimate late night drunk food from a kebab house.
-Black pudding. Fried congealed blood. It was gross.
-White pudding. I don't know, and don't want to know.
-Haggis. I'm sure you know. It was kind of spicy. Not terrible.
-Treacle pudding. I actually don't know? But it was tasty!
-Jellied eels. Let's not dwell on that...
-Pate. French meat thing. Weird but kinda tasty!
-Trifle. Traditional irish dessert.

Good list! I'll need to look a couple of these up ^^;

Lol, black and white pudding. I had those in Ireland. Not as bad as I expected, but still not something I'd eat again XD Haggis, I stayed away from. You're a brave one XD

Also, pate is surprisingly delicious, innit? I made it a couple times in one of my classes at BIC. Rabbit pate = soooo good. Mmm. Also, trifle is win.

Thanks for the response, buddy :D!

No prob! If we ever get to Ireland/England, I need to take you to a 24 hour kebab house. Europe may not have good mexican food, but damn, kebabs take the pain away a little.

PATE! FTW

I second pate! It's amazing.
Also, I tried escargot while I was in Paris...and it was pretty good. If you don't dwell on the whole "snail" thing, it's quite enjoyable.

I am also jealous that you've been to Ireland. I've wanted to go there since...forever!

I can give you a bunch of Korean food but i dont think it will count because I lived in Korea and I can see *some* of the Korean food event in America (in restaurants)

[thecurtain]

Sure it counts! I'm just looking for food you can't usually find here, so even if you've seen it a few places in the US, it's fine. It doesn't matter whether you were living in Korea at the time or not ^^

[minuberry]

ok. Here it goes

Kimchi - Korean traditional pickled cabbage (fermented vegetable)
sik-hye - sweet rice punch
tteok guk - rice cake soup (usually eaten during lunar new year)
tteok ppokki - spicy rice cakes
japchae - korean noodle (made of thinly sliced beef and various veggies, seasoned with soy sauce and topped with seseme seeds)

I hope this helps~!!!

I'm trying to think of typically Canadian food ;)

Umm... beaver tails (not real tails)? Poutine?

In Holland, they have awesome pizza-size crepes called panakoeken and tiny crepes called poffertjes (both of which are eaten as dinner) and fantastic "pies" called appeltaart ... mmm now I'm hungry for Dutch food ;)
