Dessert Edition!

El Salvador is represented by Maria Luisa (a cake filled with custard and topped with a glaze and red sugar). More custard! Another technique and recipe. I am enjoying exploring the variations. I am less a fan of cornstarch-based custards/puddings, and I am torn between avoiding recipes that use them or modifying the recipes. This is country 53, and obviously there have been some ingredient substitutions along the way but I generally try to stay as close to the technique and ingredients as I can. Something to ponder!

Dessert edition!

Egypt is represented by Mahalabia (Milk pudding) with pistachios. I love milk pudding. The day I made this, I also made a milk pudding from Dominica topped with mango puree (some “extra” recipes are too good to pass up). Interesting to see the differences (corn starch vs gelatin, milk vs cream, nuts vs fruit). I am sure you could do an Around the World challenge with just one type of food (I have considered dumplings but at this rate, I have three more years to this culinary adventure). Delicious exploration!

Denmark is represented by Flæskesteg (Roast Pork), Brunede Kartofler (Caramelised Potatoes), Rødkål (Red Cabbage), and Brun sovs (Danish brown gravy). This was delicious. A little running around for ingredients and some substitutions. I substituted green cabbage for red and had to make currant juice (blending currant jam with water and then straining). Worth the effort. Wonderful leftovers!

Up next, Djibouti!

Around the world culinary adventures are currently stalled on Denmark. Sourcing ingredients for the main is a challenge. Pork loin with skin on is proving elusive. No success with red cabbage that can be reconciled with the current trade situation. Currant juice; no luck, only jam. I have experimented with the cuts that I did find (three pork dishes in the past week!), and with green cabbage/currant jam. All delicious. But not very Danish!

There is no such thing as "Indian food", any more than there is such a thing as "European food".

There is no such thing as "curry". That is the generic name colonizers gave to food of that region which was often the form of vegetables in a spiced broth which had turmeric, and certain local spice blends. Later on, Indians borrowed the term and now it is in common usage.
