Last night I had some delicious roasted chicken from my very own recipe followed by about 3 glasses of Four Roses Small Batch (thanks GD). Tonight will probably be borscht that we made earlier in the week

 

I also find it interesting what people in other countries eat, especially local variations on fairly common foods like pizza or burgers

[Hurlshort]

I haven't decided yet, I've got some yellow potatoes to start with, probably will use peas as the vegetable, so I just need to figure out how I want to cook them and if I want to introduce rice or lentils to the meal.  I've got some onions and garlic as well, might mix those in somewhere.

This is what I am looking for as well, I am hoping to build a  personal virtual "database" so as time goes on we get to understand the cuisine types  in different countries.  Something's will be the same but we should see some interesting varieties.

Interesting, no meat?

[IndiraLightfoot]

Pork medaillions, steam-boiled rice and a stir-fry of champignons, onions and peppers. it's a change from my normal family pasta recipes, but sometimes you get nice meat from local farms over here that you just have to use when you get the chance. Yum!

Wow I have to be honest that sounds delicious, do you cook this yourself?

 

Also what country do you live in Indira..Belgium?

[Tale]

Yesterday I made shrimp tacos. I always forget just how much shrimp shrink when you cook them. I made 12 and I thought that would be enough for 4 tacos. Turned out to not be enough for 3.

 

And either the lemon pepper I'm using isn't half as good as the store demonstration or it's really wasted on tacos.

No, that would be la Suède, Sweden, for quite a while now, although my temper and mindset would probably be classified as Belgian.

We only have meat about once a week in our house for dinner.  My wife got pancreatitis last year and we had to change our diet quite a bit.  It has led to some interesting challenges, but I enjoy it.

 

That's why I typically add rice, beans, or lentils to help make the potatoes a complete protein.

This forum's nosiness is reaching new heights!

[Walsingham]

I had a big lunch, and chocolate for afters, so I'm about to cook a simple broth with a few fresh green beans and carrots. To keep me feeling full I will also boil an egg and slice that into the soup. Toast to accompany with 'gentlemen's relish'. Not gin served from a hooker's shoe, as the name implies. But it is in fact a nearly solid, and very frugal spread, not unlike Roman garum.

That sounds great, I'm glad you provided the link as I had never heard of that before. It sounds very British

Thanks for explaining, how are the kids handling the change in food?

I assume the new diet is considered very healthy?

[IndiraLightfoot]

...and just to clarify; by "Belgian", I meant complex, Walloon and Flemish rolled up into one personality, as it were. 

 

And the cooking was my own, although I am rather a poor one. My cuisine specialty is limited to pancakes and crêpes and a few salads and pasta sauces, really.

It is healthier, as long as we don't overload on the carbs.  The kids are very good about it.  Some people act like it's a huge deal that they don't get a lot of meat, but our Pediatrician is Indian and a vegetarian and she thinks it's great

 

I give the kids corn dogs or chicken nuggets about once a week as well, so they get a bit of extra meat there.

 

I actually have trouble with red meat after eating like this for the last year, so I stick to chicken, turkey, pork, and fish even when I do eat meat.  I'll eat a burger on occasion.

I just ate a can of jalapeno sardines with crackers.

Our family follow that very diet since quite a while back. Red meat in Europe, regardless of description, is mostly Romanian horse meat anyway (I'm not kidding).

Its funny you mention red meat but in South Africa we apparently eat too much red meat. Recent studies in the UK have linked it to a real carcinogen. Personally I don't know what to believe, I suppose everything in moderation is fine. So I'll generally eat a steak once a week or so

Seriously for dinner? Don't mean to sound harsh but that sounds horrible
