My traditional food is pounded yam and soup. It has to be soft. The best soup is eguisi or okra soup. I enjoy it a lot.

My traditional food is rice.😁 It has to be present in every meal. It is accompanied by different viand-fish, veggies, meat, soup, and any food that you want to partner with.

Hello! I'm from Guatemala, and I'd love to share some of the delicious dishes from my country with you. Guatemalan cuisine is a true mosaic of flavors, influenced by our rich Mayan heritage, Spanish colonization, and diverse local ingredients.

In Guatemala, corn is a fundamental ingredient. We use it to make tortillas, tamales, and a variety of traditional dishes. Another essential element is black beans, often served alongside rice to create hearty and satisfying meals.

One of our iconic dishes is "Pepián," a flavorful stew made with meat, vegetables, and a blend of spices and seeds that results in a complex and aromatic sauce. "Chiles Rellenos" are another popular option, consisting of peppers stuffed with meat or cheese, breaded, and fried until crispy. Our street food culture is vibrant, and "Tostadas" showcase a variety of toppings like avocado, salsa, and shredded meat on crispy tortillas.

For dessert, I invite you to try "Atol de Elote," a sweet corn-based beverage enjoyed hot or cold. As for beverages, "Horchata" is quite popular—a refreshing mix of rice, cinnamon, and vanilla that perfectly complements the vibrant flavors of Guatemalan cuisine. In summary, Guatemalan foods are a fusion of history and culture that will provide you with a delicious glimpse into our culinary heritage. Enjoy!

I belong to Pakistan and here we have a variety of foods, influenced by its various regions and cultural backgrounds. We often savor spicy foods. On the top, there is Biryani; a flavorful and aromatic rice dish cooked with a blend of spices, often with meat (chicken, beef, or mutton). Biryani is the most important of all and is often served on special occasions.

Plus, there is Nihari; a slow-cooked stew made with tender meat (often beef) and a mixture of spices, served as a flavoury breakfast dish!

I'm French, and I would say we have lots of amazing pastries here. My favorite are the Paris-Brest, or the Tarte tropézienne. They're both creamy pastries, so, so good.

There are also many good main dishes. They often take a while to cook, so the meat is always very tender and soft. I can recommend bœuf bourguignon or blanquette de veau!

In the Philippines we love adobo and rice.

Sinigang on rainy days, and halo halo on sunny days.

It's fun here. Let's eat 😋
