One of my favorite things about my trips there. First had shakshuka at The King David hotel in my first visit with a tour group, they had a buffet there, for lack of a better term. Had it, fell in love. So much flavor and it's really healthy too! And it's relatively easy to make!

To convince him to eat it, my grandfather used to tell my brother this is made with bear's blood, knowing he'd relish the adventurous aspect.

Please feed me. Another love of mine 🥰 one of the nice things about where I live in New York is that we have so many international family run restaurants and I have the privilege of trying amazing dishes.

mmm I love mung beans- or bean sprouts as they're called, too. I could just eat this whole bowl. I wish the noodles were a little wider but... looks delish.

What are a grits? I mean I know what is is but I wanna ask people who eat them...what does it taste like? Is it like oatmeal? Cream of wheat? I have the same question about polenta. I can't get either of those products at any restaurants where i live but i see you can buy it in stores to make it yourself. I just looks like cream of wheat to me. I actually love cream of wheat so maybe I'd like this but it isn't something i'd want to eat with meat or fish. I'm so food-sheltered!

I'm only half Cuban tho (Cuban mum and Swedish dad), but I usually eat frijoles with salty banana chips and sometimes yucca with garlic infused oil (mojito). I really recommend you try it

I'm sorry for not mentioning the location earlier. But since I'm awake now I'll say it. This is eaten in the northern part of Nigeria, especially the north east. Its not a very common dish. Its for the 'poor'. Because here the average Poorman can't afford rice. Therefore corn or maize is cooked with beans in place of rice and eaten with whatever condiments available.

They look like black eyed peas, or field peas, which is sometimes mixed with corn in the US to make Hoppin’ John. Looks yummy!
