GuestAs Spanish im feeling insulted by your ignorance
Ok, in Spain every region has at least a traditional plate and a dessert. Try to collect them all.
Spanish cuisine is similar to frechn but with some small differences. Im living in germany since 6 years and I miss it a lot because almost all the spanish restaurants here arent really spanish (meatballs with tomate as tapa? what is that? why arent I receiving free food with my drink? Thats what tapa means)
I have seen the recipe for churros that you are using in America. Are you nuts? Churros are only flour with boiling water. Why are you adding eggs or butter? Churros arent a cake. Just flour + boiling water, extrude that shit to pop the internal air and fry that shit.
So, for other tradictional recipes (search in wikipedia for translations):
-"Pollo al ajillo" (chicken with garlick)
-"Patatas al ajillo" (potatoes and garlick)
-"Migas" (old bread fried with olive oil, with things. In some regions its fruits, in other its eggs and bacon and other meats)
-"Duelos y quebrantos"
-Huevos rotos (pommes with egg and serrano chicken)
-"Fabada asturiana"
-"croquetas de jamon"
-"Lentejas con chorizo"
-"Ensaladilla rusa"
-"Filete ruso"
-"gofio"
-"papas arrugadas con mojo picon"
"Pulpo a la gallega"
"Potaje"
"Empanada gallega"
"Flamenquines"–Desserts–
"Leche frita"
"Quesada"
"Tarta de Santiago"
"Tarta de queso" (our cheesecake is different)

GuestBefore people here start bitching about the origin of recipes, it’s not about the food being original from there, it’s about its taste. Iberian cuisine is tasty af, and it ranges from excellent meats to excellent fish, bread and everything milk related is top shelf (at least in Portugal) and you can get a decent meal that doesn’t include anything fried almost anywhere. The best places for food are hands down the Portuguese islands Madeira and Azores (Sao Miguel)

September 26, 2021 at 5:11 pm #96813

GuestIt is made from mostly the same stuff as northern european cuisine, but made to taste good. Rich sauces, onions and bacon (sometimes garlic), hearty meat dishes. Alpine (or alpine-inspired) cheeses. Wine (doesn’t grow in the north), the best beer in germany, fruit brandies (doesn’t grow well in the north). Steamed buns for dessert, or the entirety of viennese pastry if you consider that germany (either way, it has spread in south germany far more so than in the north.) In the west there are french influences. Oh, did I mention the lye pretzel originated in south germany?
As for why that is…-

S10241875
GuestCool picture, saved.
Question: where is the border between wine and beer? I read early Hesse (Peter Camenzind), the main character is like a Swiss, when he comes to the village to his father and they go to the cellar to drink wine. Why can I see Swiss wine but not beer? It seems that according to the climate, barley should grow well there, and grapes only in some places.-

GuestFor quick reference.
Switzerland does produce wine in the lower regions (and imports it obviously). I found a statistic saying they do not drink much beer, but rather much wine. Might be cultural influences from the surrounding wine areas (italy, france, southwest germany). They share the south german tradition for fruit brandies though.-

Guest>They share the south german tradition for fruit brandies though.
Is that what they call "Schnaps"? Although it seems that this word can mean any strong alcohol.
I tried it once in a bar. Here, in Russia, it is imported a little, but it is quite expensive.-

Guest>it seems that this word can mean any strong alcohol
I saw some definition on the internet that schnaps is any purely distilled beverage, which sounds about right. Fruit brandys are also called "Brand" ("burnt") or "water".
>it is quite expensive
Probably paying extra for the import from germany. Farmers made them in their backyards when it was legal (still do in the balkans), it shouldn’t be expensive.-

Yes, excise taxes. Plus, suppliers inflate prices: "This is Elite Alcohol !!!!!". The same thing with Italian "grappa", just grape vodka, in our Caucasus the Georgians call this "chacha". Waste after making wine fermented, then they were distilled and purified. "Grappa" costs at least five times more than a good Georgian chacha. -

S10241875
GuestIn relatively warm and dry climates, more aromatic plants with essential oils grow close to the ocean, so meat and fish are mixed with vegetables and various spices, which gives "good" cuisine. In the north we have meat, grain and a few types of vegetables, sometimes berries and mushrooms. You can’t cook much of this.
During the Soviet era, Georgians were considered the greatest gourmets in the Union. They have warmth – there are aromatic herbs and various vegetables, fruits, there are mountains where cattle and sheep graze, there is a sea, although they do not eat fish very much like Christians – they make excellent wine. All together it gives excellent cuisine, but maybe without seafood delicacies.
I even think you can make a chart – on one axis the type of climate, on the other axis the type of cuisine.Yes, this is largely true. Of course the connection is not direct. Inhabitants of deserts (very hot climate) are limited in food and have to be content with little.
I don’t know about the equator. It seems to me that the inhabitants of the equator, despite the abundance of fruits and edible plants, are becoming too lazy for serious cooking, or maybe in a very humid hot climate they simply do not want to cook a lot – everything quickly deteriorates. So the priority is for the inhabitants of the subtropics.

GuestGrains and sheep they had aplenty, but very little by way of spice or fruits and non-starchy vegetables. When Britain was a Roman province that was easily remedied by simply requisitioning some food from the southern provinces which could then be speedily shipped to Britannia via the Empire’s extremely well-organized logistics network that spanned from the North Sea to the Levant. If Post-Roman Britain wanted those same amenities they had to procure them via trade at much higher cost and in lower amounts. Hence people living there learned to do without. The temperate climate severely limits growing options because the warm part of the year didn’t last as long.

Living in shit tier environment that makes growing most of stuff (i.e. spices) that people associate with good food hard to impossible combined with need to ensure that the food produced lasts long time. Add in protestant food culture that basically encourages you to eat as bland shit as possible and it is no surprise that the local cuisine isn’t exactly world famous outside of IKEA meatballs.
