What exotic food item can I make easily at home?

Jeena@jemmy.jeena.net to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 85 points –

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.

Exotic is in the eye of the beholder. When I was a kid (around 1970?) my dad brought home a couple of Russian Cosmonauts who were visiting JPL. My mom made fried chicken or something, but what fascinated them was her pecan pie. One was saying he would see if his wife could try making it, and we wondered afterwards how it would taste, considering they'd probably have to substitute walnuts.... And did they have molasses or corn syrup?

Pecan pie as delicious as it is weird. As an American I consider it an exotic delicacy, even if most of our aunties can make it.
