That's just wrong.
 

I guess my most interesting experiences with international foods have come from families I've met in their homes... a lot of times as a home-visiting nurse you become like family. So when homemade Puerto Rican stew with beef and sweet potatoes is offered, I say, "YUM!" or when I have the chance to learn about preparation of vegetables I've never seen from a Yugoslavian family, I say, "yes, please..."

There are restaurant-prepared meals that fall under the "Ok, I can say I've tried that..." category, like escargot at a French place or abalone from Korea.

Have to admit I "got cold feet" when cold cooked chicken feet were on the menu at a Chinese restaurant in Seattle (though the rest of the food looked amazing).
 
There’s nothing really distinctive about Canadian cuisine. Mostly meat and potatoes as the base. Now with many nationalities moving to Canada, we have lots of variety for ethnic food. This is a huge generalization re most mom & pop restaurants, they’re often owned by oriental folks. We’re lucky they brought these skills.

Some of us would call Poutine Canadian cuisine. Not me. Yuck. 🙄
 
I had a simple caesar salad and grapes before posting this and missed the fun because the carbs put me to sleep diabetic coma.

I enjoy all the food adventures and wondering what is fun for everyone now. I crave flavor and fruits, Brazil, had so many mangos and other fruits not found in the US.

My food choices are less complicated, would enjoy going to a nice restaurant.

I was stationed in the Philippines while I was in the Navy. One day, I saw a small bowl of some type of meat in sauce on my kitchen table. I assumed it was pork that my wife had made but I was wrong. I only had a couple of bites but as it turns out it was dog meat which is a delicacy to some folks there. It tasted kind of sweet but that may have been the sauce. Nonetheless I was more careful with what I ate from then on. Filipino food though, especially pork and chicken dishes are very good. I never though was brave enough to try Balut, the egg with legs!

I thought that most Philippine food was very good, but like you, ..... NO Balut's on my dinner plate!
