I miss Greek, Lebanese, and Italian food that's ubiquitous in North America where I'm from. So I cook Mediterranean-inspired food at home. https://www.city-cost.com/blogs/TonetoEdo/w5Zll-living_food_noda_shi_chiba
Do you make a cuisine other than Japanese at home? Do you mix it up, Japanese ingredients in traditional food from other cultures?
I make a lot of "other" cuisines. Mexican food is pretty common, as well as barbecued pork ribs. I made a chicken soup the other day from tori-gara (the bones of chickens. The bones were the entire neck and backbone of three chickens. They were all for 99 yen! Almost all tori-gara in Japan goes to ramen shops, but in Kyushu most ramen uses ton-kotsu or pork bones. Since Kyushu is where 70% of all domestic chickens are produced, there is a lot of tori-gara that remains after making the cut portions for supermarkets.
I’m French. I sometimes make crepes/galettes at home the “french“ way. Of course I use local ingredients since the recipe only requires basic ingredients such as flour, eggs, milk and butter/oil. I usually prepare them with rice flour btw - which is already not that authentic 😂 as for the crepes fillings it’s egg, cheese, ham - all bought my local supermarket.
I love Arabic food, so sometimes my fiance and I make falafel and hummus. It’s so delicious and not too hard. I also love to eat Indian and Thai curry, so we make that at home. Besides this, we of course make pasta and pizza at home.
What kinds of Lebanese or Greek foods do you like to make? @Elizabeth TotoE
