Hi Radish Rose, usually I don't do so much late in the year as Christmas is on the way but I do an American meal for US Thanksgiving , but not turkey, and of course my own Canadian one . I also do Engliah Michealmas Sunday which has passed, and I do some Jewish cooking for one day of Hanukah which this year is from Christmas though to January 1st. I do a Dutch meal on Sinter Clas on the 5th Dec too. These are regular and I d them every year. I will takea look at my calendar and see what is coming up and if you want to join me that would be great.
Food I have eaten..well much is regular food from various countries but some is a bit interesting. Some times I acknowledge International Slavery Abolition day and I cook the foods that slaves may have eaten way back then ,chitterlings,greens etc, still eaten today of course. I did a Newfoundland day last year and cooked a meal that I had never cooked before called Jigg's dinner. It was cured beef bought in a bucket, cooked slow with various veggies and dried peas in a bag, qiote different. It was very fatty and gristly. I would like to have another go but break away from the traditional bucket of meat and try a wee bit less fatty version, not as authentic of course.
Anyway it is about now that I start to look at dates for the following year so I may do that tonight and get back to as soon as I can.
The Goulash sound good Capt I wouldn't mind sharing that one.
Good for the school that did the pot luck I would have liked to have been there.
Another interesting thing I do is wartime UK food, sometimes I do it for Lent , it is not always easy to be accurate though for a few weeks as rations fluctuated during the war so one has to really work it out well ahead of time and finding dried egg is not always easy..Spam and canned corn beef was a bonus point item and it is amazing what one can do with it, just a bit though it was rationed still but it makes a good change from Lord Whooton's veggie pie.
