Recommend me some ethnic dishes

[DaHeezy]

Being here in Vancouver I felt I've had a great variety in ethnic dishes with all the different cultures that reside here. But the other day I ate at an all-you-can-eat Bolivian restaurant and was introduced to a new experience of dishes I've never tried. I had a Quinoa salad, an awesome carne dish of a pulled beef type stew and a zucchini lasagna.

Any unique dishes you worldly guys would recommed?

Cowboy Thunder beans. Cooked outside on the fiyah.


Rootin tootin delicious.

[D-Rose]

Had this Korean dish once...it was like a large circular dish with divided spaces for different kinds of foods like rice, vegetables, chicken, pork, etc and in the middle was an egg that was frying because the dish was still hot...it was absolutely amazing. No clue what it's called.

[D-Rose]

Bibimbap? Stone pot version is awesome.
Yes, that's it!

Need to go get me some :cheers:

Hamburgers is americans so since you live in Canada that would qualify.

Speaking of German Food, have you ever had a Schnitzel? It's pretty good. Always nice to try something different.

I don't think it's a chain resturant, but that German Resturant was called Metzger.

Had them in many varieties. They're pretty common here. Vancouver has a ton of mexicans. We have a place here called Las Margheritas that makes killer authentic tacos. If you ever get the chance, try the fish kind, they're the tits.

Schnitzel is traditionally Austrian, if I'm not mistaken. Also, while it's good, it's really nothing special, just breaded cutlet. Good, but nothing to write home about. OP, try to find some veal goulash. Now that is tasty. They have it down to perfection here.

[Godzuki]

go to a decent korean restaurant and get kalbi. i swear its the greatest thing most people haven't tried but make sure its where they have grills at the center of the tables type of korean restaurant. its going to be expensive but its one of the most underrated foods where most people not korean just don't know about.

[sunsfan1357]

I love Indian food like chicken masala or lamb curry

I use to go to a sick all you can eat in Ilsan, Goyang City once a week. About 10,000 won ($10) for all you can eat - insane prices. We were probably eating meat from dogs and POW survivors.

Calling out Koreans on BS stereotypes is ok, but saying f@g or nikka makes you a horrible person.

In Czech they serve Goulash with this strange fatty bread. So fuccking good.

That's a joke. Calling them nips, gooks, etc is shitty. I won't get bent out of shape about being called a sheep ****er, cause it's true

We do need to have limits. I like to joke around, but I don't toss around names. I use to joke with my students about them eating people's pet dogs, and they reamed me out for eating rabbits. It's joking around.

Yeah, yeah, but white kids calling each other nikka on the internet is serious business.

So you get to set the limits on what's a joke or not? The thin line between offensive and funny?

Get the fukk outta here with that f@ggot mindset.

IF it is still too tough it wasn't prepared properly. When done right tongue is a great peace of meat.

How was it prepared when you had it? I only had it boiled, curious if there's any other way to make it. Not my favorite thing to eat, but definitely edible.

I will ask my taco man how he makes it. I think he just has good timing, the difference between having a tough tongue and a soft tongue is mere minutes. It is easy to overcook.

Ahh, missed your post about the taco man. Pretty interesting. What ethnicity does that food originate from?

Edit: Mexican, just googled it.

[Cali Syndicate]

Wasn't saying it was, just that it resembled it.

Mōlli or 'mole is a thick soup somewhat like a curry I suppose. Can be made very spicy. But instead of Lamb, uses chicken.

Mexican dish. A friend once made some and it was extremely delicious. Ate it with rice and then with bread when I finished my rice.

after seeing a mole dish win Top Chef Masters(1st season) where Rick Bayless said he traveled all over Mexico and it took him 10+ years to master the dish i always wanted to try it. got some as a side sauce for a chicken burrito at a local mexican joint but it wasn't what i expected, was rather disappointed. it was too sweet and thick, and seemed a bit dry but maybe they purposely made it like a sauce and thickened it more than it should've been for soup purposes. almost reminded me of molasses in a way...

Some variations add chocolate as well to counteract the spice and is quite tasty indeed. Nothing beats the way Grandma makes it.

The heat is what makes it for me though. But add that chocolate, I'll still try it.

Pachamami Sabor Latino (http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/14/1678337/restaurant/Vancouver/Surrey-Newton/Pachamami-Sabor-Latino-Surrey) in Surrey. The lunch BUFFET was $7.95. Good ambiance, and authentic service and atmosphere.

Sounds good. I made a spicy lamb stew (recipe in the Bistro Rufus thread) awhile back. This is a soup no?

[rufuspaul]

It's no different from any other tough cut of beef (brisket, round roast, etc.). The key is to use a low temp over a long period of time in order to break down the muscle fibers.

[Hazard]

Yep, its a Georgian recipe. I would recommend going to an authentic Russian or Uzbeki type place. They usually have stuff from all over USSR, not just the city they represent. Those soups are pretty standard.

For our American ishiots, Las Margaritas is kinda like Cheveys or El Torito, Azteca....basically crap Mexican food.

Those Tacos in that picture will NEVER be found in Las Margaritas, to get the full effect you gotta go to this place called La Taqueria down by gastown area.

Whe was the last time you ate there because I just had those kind of tacos there, plus fish tacos.

Not a fan of La Taqueria. You're talking about that new place off of Seymour right? I think it's overpriced all show. There's a couple of cool little dives on Davie. Forgot their names.

I'm heading down to Holland Park today to check out the World Fusion Festival. Foods from all over the world plus Los Lobos is performing. Biggest Worlds fair in the World

And bro, I love lumpia. I have it at my filipino buddy's house. They spend the night befroe rolling those things for hours dipping their fingers in egg batter. Don't want to ask what's in it because filipinos are known for making you eat weird stuff to laugh at your expense.

All you can eat lunch for $7.95 bro! Dinner menu is a little more expensive and more choices. I posted a link on EG23's post.

I'll admit Las Margs is not my first choice since pepitas is across the street and Chronic Taco for value.

Pad Thai, a Thai dish, obviously.

I didn't notice. There was so much shrimp, bean sprouts, and lime i couldn't see the noodles. I love padthai.

Speaking which:
Vancouver foodies, there's this new place on Main called Portland Craft that actually serves chicken on waffles with watermelon from scratch and other southern comfort food. Cool thing is all their beer is imported from Portland from places Myth suggested for me to go (thanks again buddy).
I was there last week and had Prawns and jalepeno cheddar grits. My very first experience with grits too. Loved it. I'm going back for the chicken and waffles and Dechutes beer. More southern than Memphis Blues
