YouTube World Food Tour

[Zardnaar]

As the title says. Feel free to post anything you like that's food related. Ideally something local to you or something you want to try but it's not a hard requirement. Shorter is also probably better (5-10 minutes) but not a hard requirement either.

Other rules.
1. No mocking the British for legendary bad food.

Anyway one of my local places.


5:25 mark if you want to skip the talking.

Best Cafe Dunedin New Zealand.

Several countries do fish and chips as a meal or at least fairly common fast food as F&C is not exactly unique anymore. Some countries serve them up with mushy peas that's just wrong much like jellied eels.

This place has been open since the 1930's and they still fry in beef fat. Terrible for you but makes the fish taste better. And vinegar that's getting rare these days along with beef fat. Some country overseas came up with that idea.

Blue cod is the species. I'm not massive fish fan but like blue cod occasionally. This isn't a retro cafe they just never updated from the 1970's or so maybe 80's.

Last had blue cod probably in January not at this place but can confirm it's great.

I’ve shared this video with a bunch of people, but never tried it myself. However, one of my buddies made one for a camping outing, and it was so popular, he’s been bringing at least 2 every outing since then.

Wow this guy has a striking resemblance to the actor and singer John Corbett

More fun with bacon- MAN-QUICHE!

FWIW, you can probably do a multiple single-portion serving size version similar to this in your oven by using large cupcake pans.

’MURICA! (Sorry, Zard!)

Bacon didn't do that much for me tbh.

I didn’t know what shakshouka was up until a few years ago. There’s something VERY similar we do in creole cuisine, usually during Lent. That dish usually gets served with hard boiled eggs that were cooked seperately, then added. But given the history of creole cuisine, what we do is probably a descendent of that dish.

So here’s a take on the original:


Another version:

One thing I do on occasion is I’ll dice up some fresh tomatoes and use Bloody Mary mix for my liquid.

Speaking of creole cuisine…Ms. Leah Chase doing her Gumbo Z’Herbes, complete with some history:


And a more streamlined version of the process by someone using her recipe.

Haven't had gumbo for a while. Covid lockdowns kinda killed off the USians doing it here.

Well, Z’Herbes is a slightly different beast from the usual gumbo. It’s not something most creoles even cook!

Think of it as a soup of leafy greens with meat included. No seafood at all in any version I’ve seen.

These pizzas in NYC look kinda similar to some pizzas here.


Been watching a few of this fellas food videos as a couple. His videos on halal trucks look kinda interesting.

NZ Turkish over night kinda similar to some of those halal trucks.



Lamb shish kebab with hot sauce.

In Katz's pastrami on rye sandwichs in NYC look interesting. To much meat perhaps and at $25 usd kinda pricey. Would like to try as a one off. They're roughly a pub meal, dessert and a drink or two in price.

I can find most of the pizzas from Krave It mentioned in that video…but not all in one joint.

My American gaming group finds photos of our pizza odd. What's wrong with cream cheese on pizza?

Absolutely nothing, IMHO! One of my faves was a pizza with cream cheese, red onions capers and lox. Yes, essentially a big classic bagel.

A pizza crust- like most starches- is more of a flavor delivery system than a strong flavor unto itself. If you can put it on a potato, you can serve it on noodles, bread, bagels, pizza crusts, French fries, yucca, etc.
