Greetings Warlights

We've discussed language, flags, wars and now we head to something more controversial: food.

We start with my favourites, anyone else can feel free to chime in since food is a very subjective topic.

Biltong, there are no vegetarian South Africans for this reason. Some Americans might say that biltong is simply jerky, I must admit I can't say anything on this since I've never had jerky. Biltong is basically dried up salty meat.

Malva pudding, this is my favourite dessert. Just awesome, best with custard.

Gatsby, its like a sub but better and cheaper and will cause more cholesterol.

melktert(milk tart), this is an awesome dessert that goes well with tea and what have you.

Other notable South African foods:

Bunny chow

Rusks- which you must have with FUCKING TEA, if you have it raw you're an idiot. I saw a youtube clip of foreigners eating rusks and they said it tasted weird.

potjiekos(pot food)- this is tricky since its basically different kinds of stew

vetkoek(fat cake)- just yum

koeksisters- really sweet, personally this is too sweet for my taste.



If there is any other food that is fascinating from your home country, do post.

This is the reason why you have to visit Belgium.

Dit lyk heerlik. Wat is dit al?

A lot of this food looks awful to me. But food is subjective so it's not like my opinion matters in regards to your tastes :)

♦ Cuberdons (aka Neuzekes, Chapeaux Cures) : Cone shaped sweets. They're very sweet , smelt in your mouth when you it. Ghent's traditional delicacy. Usually sold to tourists.
♦ Belgian Fries (Frites Belges, Belgische Frieten) : traditionally served in 'Bakjes' (cuboid paper forms) or 'Puntzakjes' (cone paper forms). Can be eaten with either the fingers or with a chipfork.
♦ Gaufrettes Waffles but in biscuit form. Suits perfect with coffee or tea.
♦ Belgian Waffles (Gaufres de Liège, Luikse Wafels) : Very delicious UMM!!! Occasionally sold on fairs and braderies and also to find in specific waffle stores for tourists. Frequently to find in Brussels.
♦ Mussels with Fries (Moules-Frites, Mosselen met Frieten) : very popular dish to find in restaurants. Traditionally served with Belgian beer. This dish is widely associated as the trademark of the Belgian cuisine.
♦ The 6th picture is token in Ghent were you can buy those Cuberdons which I told you earlier in different tastes and colours.
♦ Vlaai (Limburgse Vlaai) : Traditional product of Limburg. It's basically a pie or a tart with pastry filled inside. Those Vlaai's are usually 28-20 centimeters long in diameter.
♦ Almonds (Amandes,Amandelen) : Nuts. Nuts in different tastes. In some stores you can buys different kinds of nuts. Almonds are amongst all the nuts the most popular ones.

I don't have much of a sweet tooth. I have a very "American southerner" taste pallet.
