My seemingly split personality about the "Cultural Foods Tour": I want to try new things but am very choosey about how to start. Luckily, I discovered biryani - a lunch SPECIAL! Though I was in a restaurant featuring Pakistani foods, this spicy dish is found from the Levant to Southeast Asia.

Eating a pumpernickel bagel today allows you to say in 2025, "Never had I ever...". Born in Westphalia, a hit in NYC, it's made with dark rye flour and baked a LONG time. Slightly sweet, delightfully nutty, charmingly chewy: it's here to stay. Besides lox/classic cream cheese, try veg. cream cheese.

Are there bagel-y foods around the world? Take a look at Poland's Obwarzanki, Rosquillas from Spain, the Buns of Arcos - also Spanish - as well as rainbow bagels from Korea....both sweet and savory, of all flavors you can and can't imagine. See www.myjewishlearning.com/the-nosher/j... for one more.

There are so many fast food/fast casual bagel breakfast sandwiches out there, that listing them all would make this post merely an ad for them. But a great bagel supports almost all the layers of sandwich goodness you want. You get chewiness, you get often some great contrast flavors, and you enjoy.

I've been amiss with posts to this account, so including "everything" on Christmas Day might gain me some dispensation. Though A LOT of people claim to have invented the everything bagel, consensus indicates it is about 50 years old. Lox? Capers? Cream cheese? Everything? You're not bored now!

Though some bagel purists would be horrified, it's a thing to toast a bagel before chowing down. Some fans of the orbit of chewiness will slice one transverse, while others prefer a cut through the diameter. Do you eat bagels sweet? Do you prefer them savory? Eat them in halves, or as a sandwich?

It's time to transition to that beloved nosh, the bagel. Be it Einstein's or Dunkin's, or Bruegger's or Noah's, Manhattan, Big Apple, Au Bon Pain, or Boss nosh; - we have many different ways to boost our day with a tasty bagel. A fixture of Jewish life, Americans want their ring of chew.

Did you know that falafel may have originated in Egypt, and that its original ingredients included fava beans?? It may have happened because the Coptic Christian population wanted a substitute for meat during Lent. As the food was carried by Egyptians into the Middle East, chickpeas were the star.

What are the most unusual taco ingredients you've ever seen? An AI - generated list includes zucchini, lobster, venison, chickpeas and jackfruit. MASHED magazine also recommends you also ask your taqueria for paneer cheese, spaghetti and meatballs, or walnuts. Though the flavor flutters, tacos rule!

Reports of this "cultural foods tour" should include consistent reports on all parameters, with each of the foods listed. Following will include culture clash and street food for three dishes; appropriation, hybrids, native and celebrity chefs on two; food for CSD, and personal experience for one.

Borscht, regardless of UNESCO declaring it's a Ukrainian thing, is also claimed by other cultures: Ukrainian borscht, veggie; Russian, meaty; Polish, sausage, hardboiled eggs, sour cream; Green, cucumber, green onion, beetroot; White, a bit of it all. Belarussian, Lithuanian, Romanian, Moldovan too.

A Ukrainian borscht recipe has ingredients to provide enough umami (savory flavor, with the pork sausage); no acidity other than for the beets, when vinegar is often an ingredient in the dish; heartiness from the vegetables, and garnish that lets you interject tart and zest into the bite of borscht!

Borscht was initially a fermented soup made from common hogweed. The plant is found within Europe and parts of Asia. The organism's variety known as giant hogweed, native to the Caucasus area of Europe, is invasive to western Europe and the US. Beets became the primary flavor and the soup was in.

festival.si.edu/blog/a-brief... Welcome to a new cultural dish for this project, humbly named "I Will Try It Once". Borscht, or borshch, is now known as a creation of Ukrainian culture, seen as a testament to the resilience of plain people to feed themselves. The dish now celebrates a free Ukraine.
A Brief History of Borshch
In 2022, UNESCO declared the iconic sour soup Ukrainian “cultural heritage in need of urgent safeguarding.”

Peter Meehan and the editors of LUCKY PEACH Magazine made a recipe called "Soy Sauce Kimchi". The cookbook 101 EASY ASIAN RECIPES is 10 years old, so a few types of this hybrid kimchi (p. 42) might exist now. The authors call this dish "basically a make-ahead salad with kimchi flavors".

How versatile, how penetrating is kimchi for today's Korean cooking? Kimchi Pop!, with three locations in the Chicago area, features dishes e.g., pan - fried scallion pancake, kimchi fried rice, and kimchi stew. Kimchi is also available as a side. Yeowoosai, also in Chicago, features kimchi fries!

My AI review of our featured food, kimchi, says it is good for you: it's nutrient - dense, has good probiotics, can support your immune system, help prevent certain diseases, and even extend your life span. Bloating, heartburn or introducing Vit K might prompt caution on its continued consumption.

A 2022 review article by Surya and Lee, published in the JOURNAL OF ETHNIC FOODS, journalofethnicfoods.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... offers a fascinating perspective on how indispensable kimchi has become for Korean culfure. I even found a pooh-pooh about peppers being a Portuguese gift.

I'm a later - in - life person to become kimchi curious. My "cultural foods tour" took me to a Chinese - Korean restaurant in a Chicago suburb. The kimchi came as a surprise with my entree. Amuse bouche, no; amuse tasty, yes. The mildly- spiced cabbage mix in a small bowl lifted the entire meal.
