Welcome to the new Community Challenge. We’re thrilled to invite you once again to a nostalgic trip! Food is one of the most crucial fundamentals of our memories – just one name of a dish or picture can awaken our senses!
Let’s share our favorite tastes from the past, naming nostalgic dishes, snacks, or other types of food from your old days. Don’t hesitate to feature not only names but pictures as well! For every participant, we’ve prepared a dedicated Taster Badge, just like a bonus 100 points! Let’s recollect some tastes we used to adore… Or maybe totally the opposite
Let me start once again with the summer speciality from my Grandma, the strawberry soup with croutons
Growing up in Sweden with roots in the northern parts of the country I always loved the flat bread from that part of the country.
My favorite was a filling with vegetables, sausage, potato and mix of cottage cheese, apple and more. Whenever I go back to Sweden to spend time with the family I always make sure that it is on the menu!
For me it’s Sterz, especially “Heidensterz” (buckwheat) with beans, lightly fried in lots of lard served with sour mushroom soup. Sterz would be in a large p0t in the middle, you’d take a spoon full, dunk it into the soup and eat it. Delicious.
If I feel particularly homesick, this is the only thing to bring me up 😊 But there’s no borshch like the one my mom makes, so every time I come home I ask her to cook it.
Another thing that always makes me nostalgic is poppy seed rolls 😍
In portuguese bife com batata frita or steak with fries, my favorite food of all time. Like a real brazilian, this plate are in almost every table in the houses from Brasil in the sundays
This is a risky post! …now I can’t stop thinking about all of these dishes
For me, it is the Mediterranean cuisine and specifically the Libyan couscous which can be served with vegetables, meat, chicken or fish! The picture showing below is Libyan couscous with meat, chickpeas and onion topping. Served with salad on the side called “sharmola” which is made with tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, jalapeno and a little bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Growing up in Hawaii, I’ve always had different types of Asian cuisine that you normally can’t find anywhere else (nor can it be replicated anywhere else for that matter).
One of my favorite dishes growing up (and still is, to this day but I can’t find anywhere since I’ve moved) is Ube Pancakes!
It might look a little too sweet, but the flavor is incredibly balanced, considering the main ingredient is purple yam! So I guess that covers the guilt of it being an ‘unhealthy’ breakfast option, but it’s definitely one for the books if you’re ever heading to Hawaii!
One of nostalgic recipes that really makes me to remember my childhood in my entire life, and that i reaaly like its called “Feijoada”, basically made of cooked black beans and Assorted Meats. Usually it’s served with white rice, sautéed collard greens, and sliced oranges on the side.
Feijoada is a hearty and flavorful dish that brings a taste of Brazil to the plate.
My favorite taste from the past, without hesitation, the “breton galette” from my grandma !
A Breton galette is a traditional flat cake or pancake from the Brittany region of France. It is made primarily from buckwheat flour and is often served with savory fillings such as eggs, cheese, ham, and vegetables.
I ate it every wednesday after the school.
When I was growing up, my grandmother (Nana) was an amazing baker. My wife decided to give those recipes a shot and WOW! She could not have matched the taste any better. The cookies with the jam in the middle she called Scandinavian cookies. The loaf is called Mandelbrot. There are many versions of this but she made it with jam, nuts and raisins.
I’m the biggest fan of homemade craft pizzas. I could cook and eat them every day, but only if I know that my dish is healthy. I make pizza on spelt dough with lots of vegetables and natural sauces. That’s why I don’t order pizzas to go. My wife jokes that I put my pizza dough in all the free food containers in our home. One time, I prepared 15 kg of pizza dough and invited all my neighbors for a month of dinners. They still can’t look at the pizza 🍕
