#Chicken tortilla soup with Spicy Taste

[kazoosandfannypacks]

Hey guys! I wanted to put together a list of low spoons foods, and thought you might enjoy it. My primary objective was to come up with a list that requires little to no prep, is relatively inexpensive, and has a fairly long shelf life. There's also a few of my favorite simple recipes at the end. Bon apatite!

Proteins: Tuna/Canned chicken: Canned tuna/chicken can usually last a few years, and you can get it for a dollar or two, sometimes cheaper. It can be cooked easily in a skillet, eaten raw, or added to soups/pasta. Mix with some mayo for a quick tuna or chicken salad that goes well on bread, tortillas, or crackers. You can add raisins or cheese for a little extra variety as well! Breakfast sausage: A lot of meats are really scary to cook with, but I've come to the conclusion that breakfast sausage is designed for people with that groggy, zombie-like morning brain, so it's fairly simple; just pop it on a plate (usually with a paper towel to catch the grease) and toss it in the microwave. You can get it as links or patties, and if you're like me where foods with a hint of flavor are unreasonably spicy, there's a maple variety that's sweet rather than spiced. Deli meats: There's no rule against buying a package of pre-sliced ham, turkey, roast beef or even bologna that's designed for sandwiches and instead just snacking on it when you need some protein, or just serving it on the side with your meal. If it feels weird to just eat sliced deli meat and you've got the time and energy, get some sliced cheese as well, cut them into squares with a butter knife, and eat them with crackers for DIY lunchables. Peanut Butter: Peanut butter is an excellent source of protein, and you can eat it on bread, crackers, tortillas, celery, pancakes, or even just on its own on a spoon! If you don't like the texture, you can mix it into something else like oatmeal, sauces, or pancake batter. If you don't like the flavor, try it with a little cinnamon sugar (put cinnamon and sugar in a jar or shaker and shake it until incorporated.) If you've got a peanut allergy, alternative butters are good too, but often separate if you leave them out for too long, but are much better in baking than on their own. Eggs: Making eggs is hard sometimes, but you can boil a bunch in advance and leave them in the fridge for when you need them (not too many or for too long, though.) Just put them in water and bring it to a boil; once the eggs start to float, leave them there for ten minutes. Once they're done, drain them and leave them in cold water for ten minutes to cool. Either peel in advance if you've got the time, or peel as needed. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Dairy: Sliced Cheese: Just like with deli meats above, you can get sliced cheese to chomp on when you need a little boost. There's a lot of flavors to choose from! Shredded Cheese: Shredded cheese is great for sprinkling onto your meals or just snacking on handfuls of. You can also throw some onto some tortilla chips and pop 'em in the microwave for ~30 seconds to make quick, cheap nachos. Cheese sticks: Not a fan of eating slices or shreds of cheese? Cheese sticks are much more snackable and can be eaten on the go! Yogurt: You can eat it as is, or you can mix in frozen fruits and honey to create an almost ice-cream like treat! Chocolate Milk: A carton of chocolate milk that you are going to drink is better for you than a carton of regular milk that is going to go bad because you can't bring yourself to drink it. If you're like me and milk leaves a weird taste in your mouth, try following it with water or finishing the milk before you finish the rest of your meal. Cream Cheese: You can put this stuff on anything, guys. Bagels? Crackers? Toast? English Muffins? Tortillas? Regular muffins? Cookies, even? Go crazy! Cottage cheese: A lot of people like cottage cheese for salads or with peaches, but it can also be tasty on its own.

Grains: Crackers: You can eat them as is, you can add cream cheese, nutella, peanut butter, tuna salad, deli meats and cheeses, or you could dip them in a spread like hummus, guac, or ranch. Tortillas: Sometimes bread can be Scary and Evil and there's no way you're gonna eat a whole loaf before it goes bad. I get it. Tortillas last longer, they're a better texture, and it's only eight servings per bag. Use them whenever you'd make a sandwich- pb&j, ham & cheese, tuna salad and more can all go in a simple wrap or roll up. If you're feeling ambitious, you can also make a quick breakfast burrito by throwing scrambled eggs and breakfast sausage in a tortilla with a little cheese. Pancake mix: Boxed pancake mix is simple enough- just add water, or milk to make it fluffier, then cook according to instructions. It's a little time consuming, but it's simple to learn, and if you make a big enough batch you can just pop them in the microwave, airfryer, or even the toaster in the morning for the rest of the week. You can also spice up your mix by adding frozen fruits, peanut butter, bacon bits & cheese, or chocolate chips, or by replacing the water in the recipe with coffee, apple cider, or chocolate milk! Toaster Waffles: Toaster waffles are great for a quick breakfast or snack, but can also be used for sandwiches, or topped with a protein like peanut butter!

Fruits and Vegetables: Raisins: Raisins are sweet, inexpensive, take a long time to expire, and are guilt free— no one in the history of ever has ever felt bad about eating too many raisins! You can easily throw them in a trail mix (trail mix is a loose term; just throw whatever little snacks you have in the pantry into a bowl and mix 'em together,) or a chicken salad, and they're really good sprinkled on peanut butter! Dried fruit: You can find these in the trail mix section of most stores. If you don't like raisins, there may be a different dried fruit you do like. Dried bananas are delightfully crunchy. Dried mango is still a little moist. Find a dried fruit that works for you! Pickles: Pickles are a vegetable with an extremely long fridge life. You don't have to settle for pickled cucumber though; you can find all kinds of pickled vegetables at the store, or ask a friend who pickles (you know which friend came to mind) if they have a jar of pickled veggies they'd sell you or any tricks to pickling your own. Frozen Fruit: Fruits last so much longer frozen, and you can get fairly good sized bags of them for not too much at the store. They're great for mixing in with yogurt, baking, pancakes, and more! Frozen Vegetables: If expiration dates are your worst enemy, consider getting some longer lasting frozen veggies. They can be microwaved or added to soups or ramen. If you're not a fan of the taste, you can hide them by adding some in with the frozen fruit in a smoothie. Canned vegetables: Canned veggies also last a while, and can be added to soups, boiled, or sometimes eaten as is. Canned soup: Tomato soup or a soup with veggies in it is a great way to get some vegetables into your diet. You can also add any canned, fresh, or frozen veggies to any can of soup you have on hand to use up some of your leftovers before they go bad. Tomato sauce: If you keep a jar of marinara, pasta, or pizza sauce on hand in the fridge, you can spread it on any grain you have lying around (bagel, biscuit, crackers, bread, english muffin, tortilla) and add shredded cheese to make a quick and fun pizza. You can go crazy with extra toppings as well! Applesauce: It's great as is, but you could also mix in brown sugar and cinnamon, or add it to pancakes or oatmeal. It can also be used as an egg substitute in most of your baking, and you can even use it as a spread on pancakes!

Quick Recipes: 3 Ingredient Pancakes • 1/2 cup applesauce (or one mashed banana) • 1 egg • 1 packet instant oatmeal Mix all ingredients together and cook on a greased skillet at 375°

Two Minute Mug Cake • 6 tablespoons boxed cake mix • 4 tablespoons water or milk Combine ingredients in a mug and microwave for one minute.

Toaster Crispy Quesadilla • 1 tortilla • 1 slice of cheese (I like to use cheddar!) • deli meat Place a slice of cheese toward the top of the tortilla. Layer desired amount of meat on top. Fold the sides over your meat and cheese (so they can't drip out the sides) then fold in half over the cheese (so it won't drip out the bottom.) Place in the toaster with the open end UP! Toast as desired.

Tuna Bagel Melts • plain bagel • tuna salad (one can of tuna with a few spoonfuls of mayo to taste) • two slices cheese Open the bagel and spread tuna salad on it. Place the cheese on top of the bagels. Broil or airfry for a few minutes.

Cracker Pizzas • a dozen crackers • a few tablespoons tomato sauce • three slices of cheese Arrange the crackers on a plate. Spread a spoonful of sauce on each cracker. Fold each slice of cheese into fourths so they break apart. Place one little slice on each cracker. Microwave for thirty seconds.

Simple Smoothie Recipe • 1/2 cup yogurt • 1/2 cup milk • 1/2 cup frozen fruit Combine all ingredients in the blender. Blend. [To make this easier, pre-mark your blender. Add a half cup of water to your blender and mark with a sharpie to the fill level. Repeat twice. You now know what level to fill each ingredient to without the hassle of measuring them.

He said that he was craving Aztec soup.

Because he is my dad, of course I made it!!

Now, I'm sharing just because I'm saving MY recipe here and for the ones who would like to eat some decent fucking Mexican food.

INGREDIENTS FOR THE 3 LITERS OF SOUP. 

6 big tomatoes

4 garlic cloves

1 big ass onion

2 chiles guajillo (dried mirasol)

2 chiles de guisar/ancho (dried Capsicum annuum)

120g of chile chipotle 

1 chicken leg (or just a chicken bone... any bone)

2 chicken breast

carrots to taste

potatoes to taste

Cucurbita to taste (that green veggie)

2 Avocados

Fresh cheese to taste (when I mean fresh, I mean; go and buy it from your local market, not the shit that has probably 6 months in a fridge, this needs a cheese that breaks once you slightly press it between your fingers) if you can't get it, use mozzarella.

15 tortillas (please use tortillas made of CORN, but if you don't have them... well then the dish you will prepare can't be called "Aztec," but hey, you have my permission to use bread or even those shitty nachos BUT YOU CAN'T USE DORITOS... or I'm personally chasing you over and murdering you.)  

Spices

METODOLOGY!!

1) Bring half a liter of water to boil, turn the energy down (fire or ignition WHATEVER!), and add there the dried chilis (this will help them soften.) Leave them to rest. (just look how sad they look and how happy they turn after a nice hot bath 🥺✨ if you are weak and can't tolerate spicy food take away the seeds and the little veins, Omacatl is going to curse you without friends bc of your puny palate.)

2) In a pot, add 2 liters of water, add salt to taste, and put there the chicken; (as it cooks, take away all the foam.) Cook medium-high heat for 35 min.  

3) Cut the tomatoes and the onion into big chunks, and peel the garlic cloves (do it with your fingers pretend they are the eyes of your enemies and release some anger.) 

4) in a very hot comal (or if you are basic, in a nonstick pan,) put your tomatoes and onion to cook, DO NOT USE OIL!! just let them cook on a hot surface.

k: omg!! they look burnt!! are you sure is that the right way???

c: STFU YOU WEAK HUMAN, THEY NEED TO LOOK LIKE THIS if they don't look like this you are doing it wrong; if you don't do it like this the nearest Mexican human corpse is going to haunt you down.

5) Take away the chicken from the broth, and put it in a bowl.

6) Take away from the jacuzzi those dried chilis and put them on the mixer, add the cloves of garlic, tomatoes, and onion you just cooked, the 120g of chipotle chilis, and now my fellas, dear colonizers reading this, pay attention, this is crutial THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT TASTE GOOD:

add a pinch of: 

salt, black pepper, cinnamon, powder of cilantro seeds, brown sugar, thyme, AND 3 PINCHES OF DELICIOUS GLORIOUS CARAWAY. Add a liter of water and mix it well, once looks as homogeneous as it can be, pour it into the chicken broth.

Just look at how pretty that looks!!! That looks like decent food, that looks like something my ancestors would be proud of!!! *honestly I got some tears after tasting this, ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!*

7) Use any method you like to make eatable those chunks of meat, I like to separate the meat with my hands.

8) Add the meat again to the chili-spicy/broth and add the minced veggies 

9) cook for 40 min, low heat.

10) Mince the coriander

11) If you are a cool decent human cut the tortillas into small rectangles and fry them until they are hard 🔥😏 2 to 3 tortillas per serving. If you are not cool use your shameful nachos. 

12) TIME TO FUCKING SERVE AND TASTE THE FRUIT OF YOUR 3 HOURS OF WORK!! 

In a bowl, serve the meat and veggies, add some chili broth, put in the center your tortillas, around the tortillas the cheese, on top the minced coriander, and decorate with slices of avocado. 

now that is decent food 😌🔥 you are very welcome.

[thetragicallynerdy]

hello! it's fungi anon thinking about soup rn so what's your opinion on soups/stews/various other types of liquidy stuff like minestrone and broth

Hello fungi anon <3 I hope your day is going well!

Okay so like with basically everything in life I have many opinions about soups and stews etc. In general, massive fan of both, so I'll break it down to the kinds I can think of. Here is an incomplete rating:

Soups - okay there are so many soups my apologies

Chicken noodle soup - good. Wholesome. 7/10.

Chicken/turkey rice soup - absolutely astounding. Takes chicken noodle soup to another level because rice doesn't get as soggy as noodles do. 9/10.

Potato soup - the easiest, most filling soup ever. All you need is like onions and potatoes and some broth. Made even better with bacon and cheese and chives. 10/10, 13/10 if you have toppings.

Minestrone - meh. It's alright. A bit too sharp for my soup preferences. I'll eat it if it's given to me, but I would never buy it or make it on my own. 4/10.

Taco soup - this is a soup my mum made that's like chili but with taco seasoning. Brilliant. Put some lil tortilla chips on there and it's so good. 8/10.

Broccoli soup - with/without cheese, both ways is delightful. Super easy to make. Annoying to make nonetheless because broccoli is the glitter of food and gets everywhere when you cut it. 7/10 because I hate cutting up broccoli.

Pea soup - my father eats this and it looks and smells terrible. -500/10, please stay out of my house.

Mushroom soup - I don't like eating mushrooms because of texture reasons. I don't mind canned mushroom soup, but if there are real whole mushrooms in it I don't want it. 2/10.

Tomato soup - best boy. Preference is to eat with crackers or grilled cheese. Tastes like childhood lunches. 7/10.

Butternut squash soup (or pumpkin soups etc) - oh my god so so good. Perfect fall soup. Can be sweet or spicy or whatever. 12/10.

Broth by itself - so helpful for cooking, but also I would never eat plain broth. 8/10 because it's a god in the kitchen.

Stews and Chilis etc

Chili - huge fan. I have yet to meet a chili I didn't like, unless it was literally too spicy for me to eat. So easy to make, super filling, best if eaten with sour cream and fritos on top. 9/10.

Beef stew - ngl I almost never eat it, but it's alright? It's good? I like it when I have it? But also sometimes the beef gets stuck in my teeth so. 5/10.

Chicken stew - fantastic. Like a chicken pot pie in soup form. Love it. Best with dumplings. 11/10.

Clam chowder/any fish based stews or soups - hard pass. I don't like fish. -5/10, rating isn't lower because it looks very tasty even though I know it wouldn't be.

FAV SOUP EVER (gets its own category because I love it):

Ghanaian groundnut soup, eaten with rice balls as a swallow - absolutely fucking brilliant. Spicy and peanut-y and also has chicken or whatever. Peanut stews that mimic this are also brilliant. 1000/10

Thank you for coming to my ted talk this has been rating soups with hank

I've got 4 recipes hereeeee

Are you telling me a mixed vegetables fried this rice

Get your vegetables. I used frozen vegetables like a loser but any vegetables oughtta work. Steamed broccoli would be good. Green beans, carrots, and corn was what I used and it slapped.

Make some rice (boil water, add about half as much rice with the understanding that rice grows, simmer for for 10-15 minutes or until it's about as soft as you want it LOOK AT ME: POKE IT WITH A SPOON DO NOT TOUCH THE BOILING RICE WITH YOUR FINGER, fluff and serve)

Butter a frying pan and heat it

Put the rice and veg in the frying pan and let them heat up for a short while. They'll sound pretty when it's ready.

Then crack in an egg.

And scramble it.

I always make my fried rice pretty soft cooked but you can get it crispy if so desired

Easy on the soy sauce. Use sesame seed oil too.

In total, including clean up and buffer time it takes about an hour, but it could take longer or shorter depending on how fast you cook.

Boujee botato burrito

This one's stupid

But it tastes GOOD

Prepare some steak fries however you like to prepare stake fries. I deep fry and my mama bakes them. Air fryer, pan fried, cooked over an open flame idc.

Get a tortilla. Not a tiny one either, we're working with steak fries here.

Here me out. I know this is stupid but AMERICAN CHEESE is actually best in this case. It's got a good texture. And juuuust enough flavor to compliment and give the burrito a little grounding without becoming a main aspect of the dish.

So put your tortilla on your Large Heating Surface Of Choice, I use a grill but whatevers big enough, a frying pan would work, and toast it and melt the cheese a little.

Then put on your fries.

Then, and I need a citation for this because I do not know the exact combination of herbs but use Cajun seasoning. Look up badia cajun seasoning and use that. Or season to taste, you want a slightly sweet and spicy blend, kinda like the seasoning on a barbecue chip but more Green and Yellow

Then top it with romaine lettuce and wrap it.

Or other lettuce or maybe spinach, but you don't want to overload the flavor.

This one takes much less time, the longest part is cooking the fries, I'd say about 20 minutes total, even with clean up.

It tastes.. in the same ballpark as a gyro. Not the same at all, but like if a gyro had a cousin from Weeki Wochi Springs (and... that's pretty accurate actually. As someone who is intimately familiar with the Really Sweaty parts of florida and is reasonably familiar with our next door flood buddy (louisianna) and the food from both places. Look if you've ever been to Natchitoches, LA and try food from there you'll know what I mean)

Thor's comfort food

That's a fucking stupid name sorry

It's soup. So we're clear.

This is borderline stew, and is something to make to feed you for several days, it's very hearty.

And this is a leftover soup! But it doesn't have to be you can make it fresh if you want to.

But chop up some fries and chicken (I used leftover steak fries and chicken tenders, which have a story behind them but not for here, I'm not that southern)

Put them in a deep pot with some butter to start getting them warm. The chicken needs to be all the way cooked beforehand, this is where the leftover part comes in handy. The steak fries less so but yk

When they're warm and popping a little, add a can of cream of chicken soup, milk, cheddar and mozzarella cheese, SALT, chili seasoning, a shake of Tony chachere's, (that's pronounced SaShaRay's if you wanna ask for it at a grocery store), and a dash of honey mustard.

Let it warm and mingle on high heat until it tastes super good.

Put aside and make some rice (sea above). Yellow or brown rice would be SO GOOD with this, especially yellow rice. I only had white on hand tho loll

Mix the rice into the soup, and heat it up again to serving temp.

I'd serve it with some nutty bread. Not pumpernickel or white bread. Rye would be good. Or even just some standard wheat bread. Maybe some cheddar biscuits or cornbread lol.

This one takes much longer just by nature, I'd give it an hour to an hour and a half, clean up included.

This one doesn't have a name right now lol

Goat cheese

Blueberries

Honey

Rosemary if you're a homestuck (or have good taste in herbs)

Put it in a (oven safe) bowl or even straight on some thick bread (foccacia would work well. That's fecasha if you've never seen the word written out. Horse divorce).

Put it in the oven, or better, a toaster oven (not a microwave)

Heat it until the berries and goat cheese get soft

Blend it all together

Serve..

It takes maybe 15mins

Yako, baby, ima need to show you some good ass food that taste better than any ussy. Enchiladas Verdes

It’s basically Tortilla with a sauce you make out of green chili and idk what else. You add chicken inside the tortilla and roll it up until it looked like a burrito, then put all your green sauce on top of it and add cheese, then you must put it to bake until it’s all warm and the cheese is melted. Personally I like to have orange rice with it but you can also try white rice or beans!

This pasta has chipotle and its creamy yet a pit spicy! It also has some chicken and also some bell peppers!

This soup is made out of chicken meat balls. But! You may also add carrots, potatoes, cooked cucumbers or other veggies you would like!

These ones are absolutely good. It consists cooked Broccoli with chicken, cheese, cream, and Pieces of bacon! It’s so so so good!

No, those are not chicken nugget. These are tacos with fried shrimp! To make it taste good, you must add Mayonnaise to the tortilla and then put your fried shrimps, then on top of that, add some Avocado, lemon, or even add some sauce that you can easily make with only mayonnaise and chipotle!

LOOK AT APHRODITE DOING WORK!!! YALL NEED TO STEP YALLS GAMES UP.

All of these look amazing I guess they just did me dirty with that pot roast 🙄

Also America why are yalls food strange I just now learned mayonnaise, banana and peanut butter sandwiches exist....

Yes i I did think those were chicken nuggets 💀💀

I really like the pasta and how it looks ngl.I've had Enchiladas before but not those kind and I didn't really like it but that was when I was 8 so idk.

[vonxodd]

Do you have a favorite meal someone's made for you? what foods remind you of home or of someone?, what do you like to eat when they feel like shit (emotionally or actually sick)?

i love my mom’s cooking so pretty much any dish she makes is my favorite meal to have from someone. but if i would list a few, she makes very good enchiladas, empanadas and her tamales are the best . this is from the last time she made some.

last year when i went on vacation to mexico, my aunt made this rly good dish (i think it’s called enfrijolada or something like that) it’s basically tortilla, beans, egg, and cojito cheese and eating it hit me with a wave of nostalgia (i spent some time there as a child as well) . also anytime i eat any mexican dish with fish, it also reminds me of there as well (mexico has rly good fish food!)

whenever i feel sick, i just usually eat spicy food lol, even if i can’t taste it as much , it does help with taste and i also usually have chicken soup.

[elizabethboatman]

a busy week of fun: spicy cocktail alongside the best biscuits, orville peck for my first greek show with jj, mary-katherine, and matt, chicken tortilla soup kicking off soup season for us (we had it for 3 dinners and loved tasting the flavor continue to develop between each serving), dog park saturday morning with holiday starbucks, ryan’s bday downtown at two fun bars plus a great pizza slice, jeff beck dazzling at the orpheum and johnny depp trying very hard, and now a rainy monday working from bed with my little buddy who is still having a hard time with daylight savings.

Culinary Journeys Unveiled: A Food Lover's Guide to Authentic Global Tastes

Embarking on a culinary journey introduces travelers to new tastes, ingredients, and cooking methods that embody different cultures. Food is not just sustenance—it's an art form and a cultural statement that speaks volumes about the people who make and enjoy it. Explore the world through a food lover’s guide that takes you from the intricate flavors of Asian street markets to the comforting hearths of European kitchens.

Thailand: Street Food Extravaganza

Thai cuisine tantalizes the taste buds with its sour, sweet, salty, and spicy flavors. Bangkok's street food scene is unmatched, from fiery papaya salad (som tum) to the ubiquitous pad thai. In the north, khao soi, a coconut milk-based curry soup with crispy noodles, represents Chiang Mai's heritage. Green, red, and massaman curry vary in flavor, but each boasts a signature blend of spices. Remember sticky rice with mango for dessert.

India: Spices and Diversity

India’s diverse regional cuisines present a whirlwind of flavors. The aromatic spices of biryani and tandoori dishes reflect Mughal influences in the north. In the south, dosas (crispy rice crepes) and sambar (lentil stew) are everyday staples. West Bengal’s fish curries boast mustard and coconut flavors, while Gujarat's vegetarian dishes are distinct with sweet-savory combinations. Enjoy chaat (street snacks) like pani puri, a crisp sphere filled with spicy water, and end on a sweet note with kulfi.

France: Artistry and Technique

French cuisine celebrates artistry, with regional specialties that have become global classics. Paris is synonymous with croissants and baguettes, while Lyon is known for its bouchons, which serve coq au vin and quenelles. Cassoulet, a slow-cooked bean stew, embodies the hearty cuisine of the Southwest. In Alsace, choucroute garnie (sauerkraut with meats) reflects German influences. Savor delicate pastries like mille-feuille or a rich crème brûlée, and pair your meal with world-renowned French wines.

Italy: Simplicity and Tradition

Italian cuisine revolves around high-quality ingredients and traditional techniques. In Rome, savor carbonara with pecorino and guanciale. In the north, the rice-growing regions are known for risotto alla Milanese, while in the south, Naples is famed for its Neapolitan pizza. Fresh seafood dishes like spaghetti alle vongole reflect Italy’s coastline. Enjoy tiramisu or cannoli for dessert, and finish with a shot of espresso or a glass of limoncello.

Spain: Festive and Flavorful

Spanish cuisine is best enjoyed as a communal feast. Tapas, ranging from patatas bravas to gambas al ajillo, allow diners to sample many flavors in one meal. In Andalusia, gazpacho provides a refreshing reprieve, while the Basque region’s pintxos elevate snacking to an art form. Paella, whether seafood or meat-based, is a Valencian treasure. Finish with churros dipped in chocolate or crema catalana.

Mexico: Layers of Flavor

Mexican cuisine is a layered tapestry of indigenous and colonial influences. Tacos served with al pastor or carnitas, are a street food staple, while mole sauce (made from chocolate, spices, and chiles) transforms any dish. Savor tamales wrapped in corn husks or enchiladas drenched in salsa verde. In Oaxaca, sample tlayudas, a large, crisp tortilla topped with beans and cheese. Wash it all down with horchata or an agave-based mezcal.

Peru: Coastal and Highland Splendor

Peruvian cuisine showcases its rich geography. Ceviche is a bright blend of citrus, fish, and chili along the coast. Hearty stews like aji de gallina (creamy chicken) and papas a la huancaína (potatoes in a spicy cheese sauce) are comforting in the highlands. Pachamanca, an ancient Incan technique, involves cooking meat underground with hot stones. Quinoa and native potatoes are heavily featured, while pisco sour remains the national cocktail.

Brazil: Regional Abundance

Brazil's food varies significantly across regions. In the northeast, the Afro-Brazilian influences of acarajé (black-eyed pea fritters) and moqueca (fish stew) reign. In the south, churrasco (barbecue) includes various cuts of beef cooked over open flames. The national dish, feijoada, is a black bean stew with pork, while pão de queijo (cheese bread) is a cheesy snack. Pair your meal with a caipirinha made with cachaça.

Turkey: Ancient and Modern

Turkish cuisine bridges continents and traditions. Start with meze like hummus, baba ghanoush, and dolma (stuffed grape leaves)—kebabs, whether shish or doner, are grilled to perfection. The palace cuisine of the Ottoman era comes alive with dishes like hünkar beğendi (lamb over eggplant puree) and pilav. Sample baklava or künefe (cheese pastry soaked in syrup) with a cup of strong Turkish coffee for dessert.

Lebanon: Mezze and More

Lebanese food is colorful and generous. Mezze, a spread of small dishes like tabbouleh, labneh, and muhammara (spicy walnut dip), invites sharing. Kibbeh (ground meat with bulgur), manakish (za'atar flatbread), and shawarma provide savory satisfaction. Grilled meats and seafood continue the feast, ending with knafeh (cheese pastry) and baklava.

Iran: Saffron and Tradition

Iranian cuisine is traditional and marked by saffron, rosewater, and pomegranate. Rice is integral, whether tahdig (crispy rice) or jeweled rice with fruits and nuts. Fesenjan, a rich pomegranate and walnut stew, pairs well with chicken. Ghormeh sabzi, a herb stew, exemplifies balance. Cool off with a Persian cucumber salad or sharbat (floral syrup drink).

Morocco: Fragrant and Flavorful

Moroccan cuisine fills the senses with its fragrant spices and communal spirit. Tagine simmered in a conical pot features meats and vegetables with olives and preserved lemon. Couscous often served with seven vegetables, is a Friday family tradition. Pastilla, a flaky pastry filled with pigeon, chicken, and almonds, melds savory and sweet. For dessert, try chakra or spend (Moroccan doughnuts).

Ethiopia: Communal and Hearty

Ethiopian cuisine centers around injera, a sourdough flatbread made from teff flour. Wat (stew) is placed atop the injera, with dishes like doro wat (spicy chicken stew) or shiro (chickpea). The communal nature of Ethiopian dining encourages sharing from one large platter. The meal ends with a traditional coffee ceremony, highlighting the importance of hospitality.

South Africa: Rainbow Cuisine

South African cuisine blends indigenous, colonial, and immigrant influences. Bobotie, a Cape Malay curried meat dish topped with egg custard, is iconic. Biltong, dried and cured meat, and boerewors, a spiced sausage, highlight the country's love for meat. Potjiekos (stew cooked in a cast-iron pot) reflects Dutch heritage. For dessert, try malva pudding with a glass of South African wine.
