My taste buds love the exotic spices and flavors that are used in many foreign foods. Luckily, America is such a great melting pot of people from around the globe. So that all one has to do to feel like one has traveled the globe is to spend a weekend in diverse cities like NYC, Chicago, or San Fransisco and sample the delights that city has to offer. Some of my favorite foreign foods are listed below with a short description.
Palak Paneer-Indian- creamy spinach that is best enjoyed with fresh jasmine rich and warm buttery na'an
Edanamme-Japanese-Steamed soy beans usually coated lightly in sea salt
Kimchijigae-Korean-A spicy red pepper-cabbage soup with beef and tofu.
Boa Zi-Chinese-This large steamed bun can be ordered with many different fillings, but my personal favorite is barbecue beef
Vietnamese Iced Coffee-each cup of java is individually brewed. This strong and sludgy brew is tempered with a spoonful of sweetened condensed milk. Caution: do not drink before bedtime.
Gallo Pinto-Costa Rican-This dish is a breakfast stand-by in this country. It consists of rice, black beans, eggs, veggies, and a special sauce known as Salsa Lizano.
Apfelstrudel-European-This delectable pastry delight can be found in any European bakery and should always be accompanied by a strong cup of coffee or tea.
Boba Tea (Bubble Tea)-Taiwanese-This drink has spread in popularity to most of Asia, and it is no wonder why. This milk tea can be found in almost any flavor imaginable and is an adventure to drink as the bottom of the cup is filled with dime-sized tapioca balls.
