Happy Saturday/Sunday all! Curious what’s everyone’s first choice for food that’s not the native food of your country? Like, Mexican (if you’re not in Mexico), Chinese (if you’re not in China), etc.? Either for take out or in a restaurant?

(I was going to say non-X food, but realized we have people from several countries here and it was too complicated!)

Mine is probably anything middle eastern but if you want me to be country specific probably Turkish.

Oooh, good answer! That would be high up on my list, too.

1st choice is always Mexican. Cheese baby!

Italian, followed closely by Indian.

To answer my own question… it depends on my mood, but right now I’m thinking either (good, authentic) Mexican or Spanish tapas would be good!

Pizza… plus food not from the uk is easy! Love sushi but so expensive these days…

German food has a special place in my heart. Various sausages (wursts), schnitzel, spaetzle, and so much more. I could go on but you get the idea.

Someone mentioned karaoke.

I'd never do it. I'd be *seen* and can think of nothing worse.

If I DID do karaoke though, I think my song would be Wichita Lineman

I have only ever done karaoke when highly intoxicated. I am told that my rendition of Mustang Sally was not appreciated

I was in Munich mid November....6 years ago. Bitterly cold. They do some excellent warming and hearty food.

I love karaoke and dueling piano bars.

The sandwich I had at the German style brewery the other day was amazing! I have to go back and try their other food (and beer)… I think it’s the only German food place around here now that the best German restaurant in Boston closed over COVID.

That's one of the reasons I like it too. I do want to get there some day.

Saw we were discussing chess. That's my favorite board game. The king has to move one space at a time while the Queen is a bad ass MF who can do whatever she pleases.

Yep. That's why I love the game. Powerful women.

I’m trying to figure out how to say have you ever had some British sausage as we have loads without it sounding errmm

Been to Munich, Berlin several times, Dortmund, Cologne...Germany is bloody marvellous.

 

[Nylonian]

It's not as fancy as yours, but I'll brew a pot and even offer you my Georgia Bulldogs cup.

Thank you. That's very sweet.

Sorry about the German restaurant closing. Covid changed a lot.

It's hard to find good German food so if it's available I usually jump at the chance.

Did you goto the big beer halls with the oompah band? Great fun.

Yes! Hofbrau! Was great, really enjoyed it.

(I feel like I should point out I wasn’t shouting Covid, that was autocorrect!)

A wise man

I've had bangers and mash but that's Irish. Not sure how much different British sausage would be.

That's a tough one. Probably Korean. East Asian cuisines in general are amazing in Australia.

Favourite dish is a beef stew called yukkaejang (육개장). That hits the spot in Winter.

New name!

 

[Orwellian69]

Well, someone went and got himself a new username.

 

[Nylonian]

Probably Vietnamese

I had dreams about your Phở the other day.
Then I went out and got a bowl at the place opposite the bouldering gym that happens to be amazing. Wish you could try.
