Re: Traditional food
I'm no expert, but I'll give it a shot.
Ok, a very simplified take on my country's (Croatia) national cuisine is that there are two distinctively different types of cuisine.
I would say the southern, coastal part is your typical Mediterranean cuisine (staples being olive oil, seafood, fish, parsley, garlic, etc).
One of the most famous dishes is called "brudet" ->http://www.englishmanindubrovnik.com/co ... an-brudet/
Northern part was historically more under the influence of the Austro-Hungarian empire, which can be traced in the local diet and eating preferences - red meat (pork especially), different types of cured meat, stews with sauteed onions as a base, freshwater fish, lots of dairy products and stronger spices (red pepper powder), etc.
One of the signature dishes is called "štrukli"-
And since I'm of Bosnian descent, I have to say that Bosnian cuisine is everything.
But there're people here who can tell you a lot more about it.

Re: Traditional food
By all means, please do.
Perhaps you could join at "Cuisine ala Jela" also.
Originally, it was a topic to discuss experimental cooking recipes and techniques (quite opposite of traditional cuisine you're interested in), but more often than not things...well, they just go wrong.
It's a very lighthearted topic, that's for sure.

Re: Traditional food
Well well well, I agree Mary if you wish to join us but I am afraid that you will have to pass initiation process first.
For instance you will have to prove that you can make Hiroshima pizza first
Unless honky has some better idea

Re: Traditional food
It's hardly an elite club, dear Jelena, I really don't think any requirements for joining in are necessary.

If I am the master chef than it must be extraordinary.

Re: Traditional food
Sorry Mary I was only joking. There is no initiation process.
Just pop in if you find it interesting and you like cooking... Feel free to share some of your own recipes with us.

Re: Traditional food
Well, I am not afraid of such challenges and I am sure you would believe my talent in cooking (I think this talk yet, right? )
We have some famous foods as you know and some of them maybe you've already tried. We are (approximately) neighbors and we certainly have some common influences.

Re: Traditional food
I knew there were strict requirements, this is why I never even tried to join. Will something like this get me in the club?
