I tried to cook in the past , but unfortunately our kitchen walls became black and so dirty , and that was after my " secret cooking operation".. .. :shock:

:lol:
What did you try to 'cook up', I wonder?

by the way ...Have your children ever tried to cook any meal ? and what was your reaction ?do you like that doing and you'll support them to do that?

Yes, they have, ever since they were tiny, in fact. Though it’s not their favourite activity, they know how to prepare quite a few dishes by themselves: simple things like rice, pasta, eggs, chips, fish fingers, salads, but also waffles, cakes or meringues for example. As a vegetarian of sorts, preparing things like hummous or falafel has no secret for my son.

I definitely encourage and support them in this important part of their apprenticeship for life. Cookery should be taught in all schools, if you ask me.

PS: There’s a Syrian speciality my daughter and I like very much; it’s ‘amareddine’, that lovely dried apricot paste. I know you can make it into a drink, but we just eat it out of the packet, as a sweet.

Not all Arabs are Muslim, as you know, so not all Arabic cuisine is halal. Christian Arabs, for example, don't care if a lamb was slaughtered by a Muslim or not, as is required under halal rules, and there's nothing about having a Muslim slaughter an animal that makes its meat healthy or unhealthy.



I must tell you that what you wrote about "Halal cuisine" isn't true ...!!??
Because our cuisines and traditions don't follow religions Blindly..
The slaughter is the oldest way the mankind know , and The Islam adopts it as a way , and I know that is the most healthy way because it allows the blood ( which we told not to drink ) to get out of the body of the lamb ( for example ) ,and this way ( The slaughter )is known worldwide and it doesn't related to religion or group of people. :wink:

However,In my country The slaughter is the way we (Muslims & Christians & Jewish )use in our cuisine so
IN OUR CUISINE ALL ARE HAAAALAAAAAALLL...

:wink: :D

Hey,
no one mentioned Hungarian food yet!
I know everyone likes their own kind of food, but guys,
you know that our food is unbeatable!
The only good things missing here are the shrimp, crab, and lobster, now those little ugly creatures are goooood, but we don't have them.
We might would have them,if we had a sea.
Funny thing that we had once, but it's gone now, with all the shrimps,and crabs.
Never mind, I'll eat these big ones they left for us.(hamsters, guinea pigs,bears)
By the way,when I was working in contraction in Canada with a friend of mine, there were some Canadian kids working in the same house. We had our lunch at the same time, so were talking about things, and somehow I said we Hungarians eat hamsters. My friend got me at once, and he asked them if there was anything wrong with it.
Man, you sould've seen their faces!
After a while I told them it was a joke, but I could see they didn't believe it, the smile was frozen on their faces and they were still scared of these Balkanian Barbarians.
It must have been because I told them that my favourite food is nothing else than rosted blood of babyhamster's. :)
(I bet they still believe Hungarians are hamster-eating heartless monsters.)
This friend of mine wanted to make sandwiches with hamster-shaped meat in them showing them we meant business, but I made him stop, 'cause it would've been too much fun, they might have run away and never come back.
After this story of mine I know you can't wait to recognize me in your favourite restaurant working as a cook.:)

I'm starting to think I'd be better off waiting, Spencer! :shock:

Tell us about some of the other "tall tales" and "whoppers" you told the poor Canadians, Spence. 8)

PS
Did you mean that you worked in construction for a contractor?

No, I was working in a construction.

Is there another way to say it?

Well, If it were true i wouldn't be so shocked . Because man has tried to find everything that can be eaten in this earth, and it has been inherited so well from our ancient ancestors :P

Okay, I'm only going to make myself feel more hungry than I already do, but the following are some of my favorites:

(deep breath)

Indian
- Chicken Tikka Massala
- Curried anything (well, almost anything. keep the snide comments to yourselves, please. hehe)
- Nan (or is it nam?) -- I use it to clean the wonderful sauce off of my plate!

American (USian)
- Fried chicken
- Cheeseburger (best, imo, with bacon, cheddar or American cheese, lettuce, tomato, ketchup and mayonnaise)
- Philly cheese steak
- Macaroni and cheese
- Chicago-style deep dish pizza (go to Taste of Chicago to find out, or Lou Malnatti's)
- Meat loaf (not sure if it's American, but hey, I like it most of the time)
- PIE, PIE, PIE. Apple pie, cherry pie, key lime pie, chess pie, etc.
- Mashed potatoes (we probably share this dish with the Brits... mash?)
- Wisconsin cheese
- Sub sandwiches

German
- Sausages of all types (franks, wursts, etc.)
- Wienerschnitzel
- Sauerbraten

French
- Coq au vin
- Creme brulee

Thai
- Chicken satay

Italia
- Italian-style pizza
- Lasagna
- Spaghetti w/ meatballs
- Any pasta with Bolognese sauce
- Any pasta with Alfredo sauce and chicken (preferably fettucine though)
- Meat/cheese tortellini
- Cannelloni
- Italian sausage
- other various pasta dishes

...Italian is my favorite cuisine.

Chinese
- Szechuan
- Hunan
- Peking duck
- Sesame chicken
- Honey/garlic chicken

Mexican/Tex-Mex (second-favorite cuisine)
- Taco
- Tostada
- Chimichanga
- Fajita
- Burrito
- Empanada (sp?)
- Nachos (hehe)
- Enchilada
- Tamale
- Quesadilla
- Refried beans

Hungarian
- Chicken paprikash

Greek
- Gyros (beef/lamb mixture and LOTS of tsatziki sauce)
- Dolmalthes
- Spanakopita

Spanish
- Tapas (learning as I go)

Holland or Belgium (not sure which country invented them)
- French fries

Caribbean
- Jerk meat (chicken, steak, etc.)

Cuban
- Cuban ham/pork sandwiches. They're served with mustard and flattened on a grill.

well that's enough I suppose.

I'm not sure if some of the American listings actually originated in America or not... but they're commonly eaten here, anyway. hehe. In the ase of Chicago-style deep dish pizza, it really is way different than that found in Italy: toppings on the bottom, cheese in the middle, sauce on top.

Hi Tom, I thought you were a vegetarian -- just kidding. By the way, I noticed your new signature. Is that a line from a song?

Hi,there!
If the subject is food, we'd better start talking the food around The Mediterranea. I mean if you have never tried Turkish, Greek, Italian, French or Spanish food, that means you have never eaten anything tasty.
Come and try the Turkish cuisine!!!!
