When I was traveling the world I always learned about new food, then when back home I’d try to recreate it and invite friends and family who have no possibility to travel to taste it.

Now I haven’t had the possibility to travel to new places for the last couple of years, but I wonder if you guys have some tips what I could try to make. Something not too complicated but to some extend exotic.

My tip would be the the Sabich which I tried in Jerusalem in 2019. A flatbread with eggplant, egg, other vegetables and sauces. Sweet and savory.

Ice cream soup:

  1. Place 2-3 scoops of ice cream in a bowl
  2. Use a tablespoon to vigorously stir the scoops in the bowl until they have the consistency of a thick soup
  3. Garnish with chocolate syrup and serve

That’s not exotic. It’s gross.

How is smooth ice cream exotic?

Like where in the world can’t you get soft serve?

Uhm, that sounds weird ^^. I was thinking more about savory food from Africa or the middle east or South America or Asia, etc., but most of the comments are about extremely deserts.

That is delicious. Although I skip the syrup.

The wife and I make crab rangoons in the air frier that are fairly easy to make.

Of you like meat and can get the correct chiles, you should make birria, specifically tacos. You can use mozzarella if you can’t find any Mexican cheese.

Every now and then I watch a Mexican cooking vid on Youtube and mournfully turn it off when they get to the chiles. In my country you can buy any chile you want, as long as it’s cayenne. For anything else, go to a speciality store and pay by the gram.

You could try growing your own. They’re really easy to grow.

My wife’s a keen gardener and she puts a chile plant in for me every year. Right now I have a tiny crop of jalapenos I’m hoarding.
