Hello everyone =)

Inspired by the user Mangy Dog, I want to share with you this picture:

That's the typical food where I live :)

So please share with me the typical food of your place. And if you are curious, I can help you cook the dishes on the picture.

Looks good!

Traditional Norwegian food is rather boring and looks something like this:

(Still, typical Norwegians are fairly multicultural and eat boatloads of tacos, pasta, Chinese food, and the highest consumption of frozen pizza per capita in the world.)

Here, we advocate for PaaBS, pizza as a broccoli substitute.
This is me working in the paaBS sector, I don't earn much money, but I eat for five.

Whipped Salt-Cod Spread (Brandade de Morue) Recipe
http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2015/10/brandade-salt-cod-spread-recipe.html

This rich Mediterranean spread, known as brandade in France, baccalà mantecato in Italy, and brandada in Spain, is made by whipping salt cod with olive oil and half-and-half until smooth and creamy. Fold in mashed potatoes for a milder version, or use pure fish for a more toothsome texture

We call pil pil to the emulsion between olive oil and Cod fat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5os6HHseH7c

......miam..miam

Quite a similitude with another dip
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aioli

Garlic is crushed in a mortar and pestle and emulsified with egg yolks, salt, and olive oil...In Spain, allioli is often served with arròs a banda from Alicante, with grilled lamb, grilled vegetables and arròs negre, and comes in other varieties such as allioli de codony (allioli with boiled quince, not the preserve) or allioli with boiled pear. Other commonly used vegetables are beets, fennel, celery, zucchini, cauliflower, chick peas, and raw tomato

In Occitan cuisine, aioli is typically served with seafood, fish soup, and croutons, in a dish called merluça amb alhòli


In Malta, arjoli or ajjoli is commonly made with the addition of either crushed galletti or tomato


In the Occitan Valleys of Italy it is served with potatoes boiled with salt and bay laurel


In Provence, aioli or, more formally, le grand aïoli, aioli garni, or aïoli monstre is a dish consisting of various boiled vegetables (usually carrots, potatoes, artichokes, and green beans), poached fish (normally soaked salt cod), snails, canned tuna, other seafood, and boiled eggs, all served with aioli. This dish is often served during the festivities on the feast days of the patron saint of Provençal villages and towns. It is traditional to serve it with snails for Christmas Eve and with cod on Ash Wednesday. Aïoli is so strongly associated with Provence that when the poet Frédéric Mistral started a regionalist, Provençal-language, newspaper in 1891, he called it L'Aiòli.

Adaptation of cultures.

1- The one you are born withing.
2- Adaptation of culture norms that wiil benefit you the most.
3- Culture norms you will adhere to by enforcement of local laws outlining legal responsibilities.
4- GPL culture is a revolutionary concept of adaptation.

I love trying different foods from around the world!

I live in the USA, but my family is from Poland. Here's a picture of my absolute favorite comfort food: Pierogies and Kielbasa! The pierogies are like pan fried dumplings filled with mashed potato, onion, and cheese (or sometimes mushrooms and sauerkraut) and they are SO GOOD!

Two Martians met in the park: one is from VOland and the other one Trasmo. The voland Martian ask the trasmo martian: Why we look so identical? we smell the same, we look the same, and we speak the same.
Trasmo martian reply: Because we are in Matriscal digital divide..
