My suggestion of porridge for Scotland doesn't sound very appropriate now, after reading all these posts.  I know we used to have a recipe for haggis around the house somewhere (DH used to make it, but seeing as I am now vegetarian and it is hard to get the appropriate ingredients he hasn't made it for ages).  I make scotch broth all the time during winter as well - but neither of these recipes are TMX so don't know if they qualify for the thread or are suitable substitutes for the porridge!

Wow!!!  Look what we've started.  What a great idea.  Yes, it is a US show with Curtis Stone (I'm in Canada).  It is a competition and the chef's travel to all these exotic places and recreate traditional dishes.  They have so far gone to France, Italy, Hong Kong, Marrakesh, Barcelona, Thailand, just off the top of my head.  I think we're down to 6 chefs now that the others have been slowly eliminated.

OK tomorrow I am making another dish from Argentina, Beef Empanadas.

The Tucumán region of Argentina is famous for artisan handmade empanadas filled with seasoned, finely chopped beef and onions.

 :)

I am flat out today, but tomorrow will post both recipes :)

New York Times Review
This martini lounge and restaurant in Microcentro has sunken seats, cool lighting and a rooftop terrace. It was started by several French expatriates including Manuel Schmidt, 40, an architect from Paris who sailed to Argentina with his wife and young daughter three years ago, and basically didn’t sail back. It evokes a space age bordello with a global tapas menu.

I'm in.  I have already posted lots of recipes from different countries.  Do you want new ones or good oldies?  I have posted Portuguese Custard Tarts,, Red Silk Chicken, Chow Mien, Greek Custard Pasties, Kaiser Pancake. And KFC.   New ones sounds good to me,  with reference to old ones.

Any and all recipes are welcome. Interesting how we start to remember all the recipes from aound the worls are already on this thread.

I will put Portugal on the list as we are going to Spain anyway.

We must visit Farfallina in Turkey too. She might invite us for dinner. You think Drover Jess has time to make some Yorkshire Pudding and Roast Beef for us. Might have to wait unil it is winter there.

My my this trip could take a long long time.

We could catch up with Cornish Cream  and maybe have a look at Steff's new kitchen in Belgium.

Anyway I am off to dinner and some tapas now. Catchya later.

It sounds as if this project is going to keep you out of mischief for some time to come Gretchen  ;)  Don't forget to take a break and catch that plane in 2 weeks' time for our retreat  ;D
