What's your favorite ethnic food?

[muslgrl]

I just love mexican. But there is so much fat so i don't eat it that much but it is my favorite

For me, it is Thai and Indian foods, learning how to make them at home is not simple, as their spices and sauces are very different than American.

I dislike ethnic foods very much, they just don't taste good to me. They're either hot, or have a bad, overly-exotic flavor.

Yes, they are not for everybody. I was raised eating ethnic foods, so not only am I used to them, I prefer them.

We have some Vietnamese friends who took us to a Vietnamese Pho Soup Restaurant for "fa" soup. It's really a great soup. Lately there have been more and more Vietnamese Pho restaurants have opening up near us. And some of these restaurants have really expanded their menus a feature a wide variety of Vietnamese foods. I'm like a kid in a candy shop, and enjoy trying all of the new tastes they have to offer. A couple (and not all) have real home made spring rolls that are out of this world.

Oh thanks workerbee. I would be looking forward for that.

Shabs? Anyone? What do you know about these? They were spicy and very tasty. I'd never seen nor heard of them before.

Workerbee its good to hear that you like every Indian dish you try (remeber the indian potatoes). Yes Frymes are availble in India and they are little puffy crispy snacks. I love them too. But unfortunately I can't tell you it's recipe because they are readily availbale in the market. You just have to buy them and fry them. I wish I could send you some from here. Do you know any indian there. May be they could bring you some.

Workerbee I am still looking for the recipe.

Hi

Dont know about the preparation method but did find at least some of the ingredients that go into it:

Rice flour
Tapioca flour
Potato flour
Seasoned with spices

They taste best deep fried in oil and sprinkled with tangy chana or chaat masala or aamchur powder. Also go well with dips and sauces.

I guess an adventous sort might wanna do some trial and error?
