What Is Your Favorite Ethnic Dish/Food?
For those of us that have parents or grandparents that were born in other countries, what is your favorite dish from "home"?

It's simple but tomato sauce - my nonna (mom's mother) made the best that I've had in my life.
My nonna on Dad's side (from Sicily) made this dish - it was pasta with bread crumbs and anchovies. Sounds weird, but I loved it.

I cant get enough of my mom's rellenitos. It consists of fried mashed sweet plantain with a gooey center of black bean paste sweetened with cinnamon and sugar. Sounds nasty, but they are to die for!

Re: What Is Your Favorite Ethnic Dish/Food?
Sorry, i cannot name just one! They are all Filipino dishes.
Sinigang- a sour soup
Pinakbet- a veggie dish
Pancit- a noodle dish
Lumpia- an crepe-like egg roll that isn't fried
Turon- banana, jackfruit and sugar fried in an egg roll shell- DELICIOUS!
Sago Gulaman: ummmm  like a slushy

My grandmother made this dish too. I didn't like the anchovies part, but it was something only SHE could make 'just right' ..  Everyone misses it now !

I will not eat anchovies in anything ever but when she made that, I ate it up. My mom said she'd try to make it but I teased her that being from just outside of Naples, she might not get it right like the Sicilians do.

Re: What Is Your Favorite Ethnic Dish/Food?
There are so many fabulous Italian dishes that both my grandmothers used to make, I would be here all day
But my grandmother's stuffed artichokes were by and large the best I EVER had. My Mom and aunts try to duplicate it but it's never ever the same way she made them!
Now that I'm married to a Greek boy, my favorite Greek dish is Pastiso (I might be spelling it wrong). Its like a Greek lasagna or baked ziti, except you use a creamy type of base to mix in instead of tomato sauce. I cannot even describe it but its HEAVEN on a plate

Re: What Is Your Favorite Ethnic Dish/Food?
Can I adopt someone else's ethnic foods?
I LOVE homemade lumpia, pupusas and tamales.
I once worked in a school that had mostly philipino and latino students. Once a year we had a cultural fair and I would hoover their mom's homemade stuff!

You might find this site useful: The Gaijin Girl's Guide
none of the restaurants are as good as my mom's stuff, but it eases the craving.

DH's grandmother is from Russia. She makes these amazing little pancakes filled with spinach and pine nuts. DH's mom does a lot of Lebanese/Middle Eastern cooking, which is amazing. I particularly like her homemade hummus.
