When was the last time you had traditional food?

I just had lahmajoon/lahmacun today. It is originally from Eastern Anatolia and is commonly consumed all around the country. I don't know its origins, but it is also a very popular dish in Middle East and some parts of West Asia as well. Lahmajoon is basically Turkish flatbread with minced meat and some vegetables as the toppings. Some call it Turkish pizza, but neither does it taste nor look similar. What about you? When was the last time you had traditional food?😁

I have authentic Puerto Rican food fairly often. Usually it’s pernil with arroz con gandules and habichuelas. It’s not exactly health food, so I can’t swing it too often at my age. But I’ll have it maybe once a month, and I think the last time was like a week and a half ago.

"I can’t swing it too often at my age."
You talked as if you were 74.

I had some narezushi for New Year. It is ancient and original style of sushi dating back to the Iron Age using fermented fish. The fish is fermented for 6+ months.

Very delicious! But very strong taste with the fermentation.

People who don't like seafood might not like it since it's very, very, very fishy. I used to hate it as a kid. But I've grown to like it.

[BlissfullyCurSed]

Well, I like sushi, but the idea of having a fishhead on your plate does not sound appetising😅.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Oh, we often eat part of the head too as well as the eyes. It is considered a good part!

[BlissfullyCurSed]

We make this at gatherings all the time. It was just I didn't know there was an argument over the ownership of this salad just like the yoghurt feud we have with Greeks.

[IslaTheWitch]

Pizza and garlic bread.
