I lived half my life in one country and half my life in another country on the other side of the world. It took some time but I enjoy both cultures to the last detail.
One of the things I kind of miss about my own country that I can't find in the new country is Root Beer. Of course I could import a root beer, but it's not worth it and it's not the same quality. I remember as a kid drinking root beer and loving it. The key ingredient to root beer is sassafras. That's what I can't find in Korea.
On the other hand when I visit America there are some Korean foods that I miss. Mostly the kimchi in America is not the same as my mother-in-law's kimchi. The oysters and the small shrimp she uses gives the kimchi a kick.
I wonder if there is any food that is very special to you or something unique that you miss.
Let me know and describe the food you really miss or the food you think is very special and want to share.
Have fun
I really miss lasagna a bit... but it's to expensive to cook one nowdays in my country, everything is to expensive. The meat is expensive, the milk is expensive, the cheese and ham is expensive... it costs almost 15% of a monthly minimum wage to cook a nice lasagna...
Wow, that's crazy. Here in the Netherlands it's actually considered a quite cheap meal. Sorry to hear it man, I do reckon that the few times you get to make and eat it, it's even more enjoyable? Hell, after reading your comment I will be enjoying the next time I eat lasagne more. Knowing I shouldn't take that for granted and be happy to be able to afford it.
Hope you can use some POB in the future to fund your lasagna meals :-)
OMG is it! That's bad to hear. I mean we all work so hard to atleast get the best food and that also getting too expensive is like what are we even living for.
Sorry about how things are expensive in you country, I think is a general this as food here is increasing in price daily without hope of reduction.
I saw a post 2 days ago about lasagna and I saw the picture the food looks sweet and yummy and I kinda wish to taste it.
The lady also gave secret recipe on how to prepare it too.
Well I have a lot of things I miss from my home town and my native food.
Maybe you guys don't know in Nigeria we have 3major ethnic groups with different culture and believes, you'll also find different languages but the major is three language shared between the ethics groups with is Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba.
This difference is culture shows that we Nigerian also have different cultural food. Well I'm from Igbo tribe one of the best tribes and you can find igbos is many countries.
I miss my Igbo native food because I'm in Yoruba tribe where I reside for now but still looking for a steady job. My native food I miss is ukwa(breadfruit), ukpa(oil been), Oha soup and so many others.
I don't have pictures to share but if you browse the food I listed you will see what the food looks like and trust me they are nice.
I see some poeple selling Ukpa in yoruba towns, does it taste different from the ones in the East? I have never tried it before, frankly I don't try a lot of new foods, I am the kind of person who likes to stick with what I know
This is one area I have been suffering greatly from. Due to a slight relocation due to work, I have stayed out of my favorite dishes which happen to be my local dish. This is one reason I dearly miss home. The ones I see are not well prepared and also quite expensive.
I don't miss anything, I cook what I miss, haha!
Jokes apart, Indian food is my favorite cuisine, South Indian to be precise. Without fail, every week, I need to have South Indian food. Where I stay (North India), you don't get that authentic south Indian taste although south indian dishes are readily available. There are some proper south indian restaurants but they also modify their taste a bit to suit the north indian buds.
Neverthelss, I use you tube to replicate some of my favourite south indian recipes like Uttapam, Idli, Curd Rice and Coconut chutney. It works well for me.
Wow that's nice seeing you enjoyed you country food, I know everybody does but I will also love to taste other countries food and see how they taste cos I know is a total different thing from my homeland cooking.
Nice seeing the foods you listed out.
How amazing, it is really a unique experience to live in such different everyday lives. The most important thing about this is the learning you got from all of this.
I hope I can spend a few days in other countries so I can learn about their culture too.
There is a lot we can learn from other people. The world is something very vast and with many differences, we must always be in constant learning.
What's your favorite food?
The good thing about not liking a lot of food is that you don't get to miss any. I rarely miss any food, whatever I manage to eat is always within reach. Although there was this one time I travelled to the northern part of my country and I couldn't get the food I would normally eat.
Living each day and not liking food is pretty tough. Maybe you lost your appetite @blezyn. Are you sure you aren't sick? Can you remember the food of your childhood? Was there anything you enjoyed?
There were so many things I remember as a kid, but now years later they never taste the same as I did when I was young.
Yes, it is. It's always a mental battle whenever I have to eat.
😂😂 I'm not sick, I just don't like eating that much. From my childhood the food I love most is beans and I still enjoy it till date
This is really good to see ,most of us that are out of our cities.or countries too have one or two things that we missed.
For me the vegetable that we eat at my city is what I missed most, cause it uniqueness and sweetness is far from believe
You are having the best of both worlds. Quite a lucky guy👍. I have been in India only so far😕 I would love to try Korean and Japanese food some day.
Indian food is really interesting. Share something you like.
This is basically what I was eating in Chennai. My kids couldn't stand the curry, but I liked it.
There is an interesting Chinese restaurant near the embassy in Dehli. I enjoyed the smoked soup there. I've never seen anything like it.
Those fishes are inviting my tummy and my tummy is saying "please eat it" lol.
That fish was just caught.
Oh okay,how was your day and how is the weekend going
Beautiful @raifust. I just wish there were a lot less mosquitos.
Glad to see this. Indian food very unique and special. You should try famous Indian pani puri next time.
