Foreign Cuisine

I'm a big fan of Mexican and south American cuisine. I love to cook with kidney beans, my own hot self grown chili peppers, minced beef, beans, potatoes, paprika etc. My favorite dishes are enchiladas, burritos and of course the good old burning hot chili. 

Funnily I'm not especially fond of the traditional dishes of my own country, the Austrian cuisine tends to be on the fatty, hearty side which makes me feel sick very easily - especially in summer. For example, traditional roast pork or stuffed dumplings make me feel like I'm digesting granite boulders. 
Honorable mention is the Italian cuisine, I mean, who does not like Pizza or Spaghetti?

Since most of British cuisine exists to take foreign cuisine and ruin improve upon it, it really does throw off my taste buds when I get a dish directly from the source.

For example, I'm a huge fan of Italian, so t'was a bit of a shock to go to Rome and discover Italian chefs insist on drenching everything in Olives (since the blighted things grow everywhere). Personally, I think that Olives smell awful and completely drown out the flavour of the dish.

Still, least I got to watch them win the World Cup and revel in the party, so wasn't a completely wasted trip!

I think tomorrow I'll go get some grilled eel and a sushi sample platter from the local Japanese restaurant. I've had salmon and tuna sushi (salmon is better than tuna for sushi IMO), but the eel is new to me and looks tasty. I should also buy some sticky rice and make onigiri with it.

I've fond of Korean BBQ, particularly Bulgogi

And Eel Sushi, the Filet Mignon of sushi.

I always want to taste haggis, which is the food of the skirt-wearing Picts of Pictland. *coughscotlandcough*

Soon I will begin my journey to the strange land and once I sailed there, I shall try it immediately.
