What's Your Favorite Food from Your Country?
As you all know, we come from various cultures in the world, so we have many differences and one of them is cuisine. How about sharing your favorite food from your country?
Mine is Soto. It's a traditional Indonesian soup with broth, meat, and vegetables. There are many kinds of Soto in Indonesia and Soto is good company on a rainy day.

Snoek on an open wood fire with lemon, spices and cream. We tend to put everything on a wood fire. Especially meat. Snoek being a big favourite. We will barbeque it or make an awesome amazing pie with it.

My all-time favourite Canadian dish is poutine. It comes from Quebec (the French-speaking part of Canada) and is French fries topped with gravy and cheese curds. Definitely hard not to love!

Re: What's Your Favorite Food from Your Country?
Although I didn’t grow up with much of an affinity for hot sauces, I’ve truly grown to appreciate them as an adult (with a compulsion to put Sriracha on everything, so I’ve stopped keeping it at home), and am a big fan of Buffalo wings, which came from the state of New York in the US. Preferably with multiple dipping sauces! Ranch and blue cheese are a must, but I’ll often ask for an additional side of some other sauce that’s available (usually a sweet chili Thai sauce these days). My partner doesn’t care for the Buffalo style, so when we are sharing we’ll get something like a garlic parmesan wing, and then there’s me with four dipping sauces so I can have it all.

I love Tocino from the Philippines! It's been my favorite since I was a kid and nothing's changed at all. It's my forever favorite.

My favourite dish from Canada is Poutine. It consists of french fries with gravy and cheese curds on top. I have even tried it with different kinds of cheese curds.
Re: What's Your Favorite Food from Your Country?
I see a few fellow Canadians have already mentioned Poutine! Ha!
So I suppose I should mention another delicious Canadian treat... NANAIMO BARS!
What are they? They are little dessert bars, consisting of 3 delectable layers.
First layer is a coconut chocolate crust
Second layer is creamy custard
Top layer is a thick layer of hardened chocolate!
This dessert got its name from a small town in British Columbia called Nanaimo. As a kid, I grew up only 1 hour outside of Nanaimo. I didn't know that these treats were nation-wide! I thought they were just exclusive to our area!
However now I know that the rest of Canada enjoys this desert just as much as I do! And I am happy to share it with non-Canadians, too!

Re: What's Your Favorite Food from Your Country?
OH! I will answer this topic.
I wouldn't name rendang and nasi goreng for my favourite food (although both are delicious). But, I will mention nasi padang and nasi liwet as my favourite food.
Actually, both of it just like staple food in general (yes although we don't eat it every day). But, nasi padang is a meal that contains rice that is given some broth (usually chicken opor broth and rendang broth) with various side dishes such as rendang, grilled chicken, cassava leaves, sambal, perkedel, and many more.
Meanwhile, nasi liwet is rice that is flavoured during cooking, and eaten with side dishes such as tofu, tempeh, salted fish and sambal.
Both are high calorie foods, so after eating it you will feel very full and will feel like you don't need to eat again for a few days

Thank you for the cool signature, Ana!

Re: What's Your Favorite Food from Your Country?
I am from India and my favorite food from my country is Biriyani and Raita. This delicious combination (Biriyani) of long grain aromatic rice slow-cooked in Indian spices like cloves, cardamom, mace, star anise, black pepper, and saffron; along with chicken which may be lightly cooked in turmeric and ginger and garlic paste and then added to the rice; then steamed together; is a heavenly delight which transports one to the seventh heaven. The most common accompaniment to Biriyani is Raita (it is made of yoghurt but has a savory taste because of the savory spices and herbs mixed into it along with vegetables like carrots and cucumbers).
