Do you know? :D

OKONOMIYAKI are a kind of flour pancake cooked on a griddle.

When they are done,a special sause is put on them and AONORI (green water vegetable :wink: ) flakes are sprinkld on them.

People cut them into small pieces before eating.

There are a lot of OKONOMI restaurants around my house.

I want to eat OKONOMIYAKI everyday! :lol:
I made one for my brother after watching Ranma 1/2. The dude ate the whole thing and didn't leave anything for me. :roll:

Well I love Ranma too. :lol:

But about Estonian famous food is very hard to say. I could not name many Estonian food if any. It doesn't mean that Estonians don't have own specific taste, but all foods we eat u can find also elsewhere they may be already some nations famous food. but they are just made little diffrent way for diffrent taste. I think probably most forgeins don't extol Good Estonian food, their taste is already spoilt by their own nation horrible cooking. :lol: :lol:

In my country the most famous food is gallopinto, thats the name, is a combination of rice and black beans, usually the meal is for breakfast, but is so delicious and the people eats in any moment. You can join it with eggs, bread, sour cream or white cheese.

This is a picture of a few items from a traditional Southern style we call "Soul Food" here in the Southern US. It's believed to be a mix of French, Native American, Irish, and African cooking. (Interesting huh?)

It usually has:

Fried Chicken
Mashed Potatoes
Corn on the Cob
Green Beans
Biscuits (Not cookies)
Gravy (For biscuits & potatoes)
Slaw
Corn Bread (It has to be sweet not salty!)
ICE TEA!!! W/ LOTS OF SUGAR!!! Those silly people up North don't have sweet iced tea. It's a travesty! :mrgreen:


http://www.carolinarice.com/carolinaric ... balaya.jpg

That's Jambalaya, a cajun dish originating in the New Orleans area and is highly influenced by Native American, French, and Spanish cooking. It's VERY spicy to those who aren't used to spices. (So people who eat really hot curry often won't have a problem!)

These are just dishes from the South. The other regions of the US have their own unique cuisine.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hello aprodianne !

How often do you eat your typical food, I really think that it would be delicious.

Here in Costa Rica we have some typical drinks, for example "agua dulce" this is a sweet drink, it's like a hot tea, you can prepare it with water or with milk. Well, I really don`t like it to much. :mrgreen:

Do you have a typical drink in your country ?

Hello Happyface... it's nice to know you :D

I don't really often eat that food because usually people in Indonesia cook Rendang on special occasion, like on Moslem Festive or wedding party, etc. But we can find Rendang & Gado-Gado easily in some traditional restaurant. I don't really like Gado-Gado 'coz i don't like vegetables :) .

I think your 'agua dulce' similar with 'teh tarik' from Malaysia :roll:

In Indonesia we have some typical drinks, such as 'wedang jahe or sekoteng'. it made from ginger boiled with water & sugar and served with peanuts, green bean, & agar. This drink is believed can make our body warm & more fresher after we drink it.
