Re: Favourite FOREIGN Food?
I guess it comes down to what one means by `foreign`?-they served some kind of curry at my school back in the mid 60`s. I love it all as long as it is good.Roast beef with horseradish sauce,Thai fusion,pizza in Italy or a seafood platter on the coast of France.
Watch India though-carp made for tourists is awful-but find a family place and dine like a King for the equivalent of a tenner

Ethiopian food is wonderful it was in Tanzania where I ate the food many times and its a sort of around a communal table and its all served on a giant crepe like pancake and the individual portions are tipped onto it and you turn the table around and pick up pieces of meat by tearing off pieces of the crepe.

I enjoy sharing a meal, Spanish Tapas, Greek Meza.West Indian Vegetables, plantain, sweet potatoe.
Hint for an Indian Curry, try adding a can or half pint of Vimto, just gives a nice fruity back taste.
This is in dispute as both the Manx and the French Canadians claim it as their own, Chips, Cheese & Gravy.
Chicken baked in a casserole with onions, covered in a little white wine and French Mustard. Allow to reduce so enough sauce to serve survives. Had this first down near to Le Manns, in a tiny village.
This I think is from the USA or it should be. Skinned Chicken in a casserole, covered, basted and reduced to a caramelised state with Original Cola.

Re: Favourite FOREIGN Food?
I like most of the chinese dishes but especially the chicken curry with boiled rice.It probably does not even rank in curry circles as it is generally very mild but hey, I don't give a monkey's, I like to be able to taste it rather than set fire to my innards.
We looked about for some curry powder/sauce so we could make one at home but until recently never found the one that got the taste right.
Wing Yip produce a medium curry paste that is as near as you will get for the TT (takeaway taste).
Sorted and easily pleased, that said I have had a few pies from football stadiums that have not been easy to identify as English, Foreign, or even meat of any sort in a previous life.
