Arepas are...the best way I can explain them is that they're very slightly similar to tortillas. You make dough out of cornmeal, salt, and water. Instead of pressing them super thin and flat, though, you shape the dough balls into discs. Then you boil and bake them, cut them open while they're hot, and fill them with whatever. My favorite way to eat them is with cheese and pulled pork.

Mm mm. Mousaka. I just fainted!Adamandia wrote:I am from Greece and we have plenty of traditional dishes depending on where exactly from Greece you are from. I am sure a dish you all have heard of is "mousaka" and "pastitsio", but my personal favourites are the traditional Christmas and Easter treats we make. So here they are: "kourabiethes" and "Melomakarona" for Christmas and Butter cookies for Easter

Being from New England I have to say my other favorites are salmon chowder (my grandma made the best at Christmas time) and fluffer nutters! When I lived in Philadelphia I made them for lunch a lot and my roommates had no idea what it was. Blasphemy! (For those who don't though, it's peanut butter and marshmallow spread sandwich. I like to put potato chips in it too for a crunch)

I love frybread! Yes it is traditional. It is most associated with Native Americans. Where I live a lot of Tlingit people make them. I can't resist when I see it for sale especially when the charity event has frybread tacos. But even with just honey or syrup drizzled over, it is amazing. It is 3 am and I am drooling for some.Insightsintobooks wrote:I'm from the U.S. not sure if this is considered traditional being that we have so many cultures, but frybread.

Around here we have Potlucks, where everyone brings a dish to pass. Those dishes are usually either hotdish or salad. The hotdish can be compared to what most other regions call casserole. Here they are made primarily of some sort of potato or starch, corn or green beans, ground beef, and cream of something soup. Salads at these events are almost never green, unless that is the color of the jello that the fruit is floating in. These may be savory salads like pasta salad or potato salad, or sweet like fruit or jello salad. Many are very cream based. Other dishes that people might eat/see are lefse (potato flatbread) and lutefisk (white fish meat that has been aged or dried and treated with lye - I don't know anyone who actually eats it). To be clear, I am not trying to bash the cooking of the upper Midwest, most of what I have described above is delicious, but it takes some getting used to.
