More people have a passion making authentic food from other country with their country origin recipies and ingrediens. Since covid i have getting into Italian, South Korea, Mexico and Japenese cusisine using over a year with country to learn the basic when, where and what to use the recipes. Also finding good recipe sources from their homeland, i did post on my cooking account on instagram.
To find authentic ingridens here is Norway is hard, you need to order from niche stores that have does ingridens you need, like Italian cheese etc we have about 80-200% import tax on that so that makes it expensive to make these recipes. If you live in Oslo you can get most of it from those stores but, the rest of the country need to order from some online stores or travel to the Sweden to get it.

There's nowt like authentic foreign food. However, I couldn't persuade Mrs Ewing to sample the meat balls last time we were in the Ashton branch of Ikea.

Tesco Spag Bol in the microwave, coupled with a fistful of chips in the air fryer. Job sorted.

My ERO's fiancée was horrified when I suggested a chip butty. What, she says, a carbohydrate sandwich? Yes, I replied but a very tasty carb sarnie.

I presume she's a tree hugger?

Cumin, coriander and turmeric?

I use Cumin, Coriander, Turmeric and fresh chillies. Sometimes I finish the dish with a little Garam Masala.

Chip butties are the food of the gods, who you’ll get to meet soon enough if you eat too many.

All things in moderation!

Is a tree hugger the same as a vegetarian.

Not really, jim. Every time she sez she's cold I say "Have a chip butty!"

Love the way the japanese treat food. Not sure I could be bothered with all that effort for breakfast. Malaysia has something similar Nasi Lemak (rice cooked in coconut milk, anchovies, peanuts, cucumber and sambal or curry). My favourite is bak kut teh which is a pork rib stew/soup. Great way to start the day

Can't remember his name,wasn't Tony or Samaras.

My birthday tea last night was fillet steak, gratin dauphinoise and tomato/onion/basil salad.

Gratin cooked to perfection by my wife - steaks by me. Hard to beat.

I've been cooking "Saturday curries" for the better part of the last 25 years and I am not sure it is correct at all.
In my experience, the more complex curry - more spices and other ingredients - the better taste.
Spices ratio, the roast level, etc, plays a huge part in what-we-refer-as-curry taste.
And similar to pesto sauce, home made curry paste/mixture is always superior to any branded one, and some of them are really vile.
