When talking about which "food" introduced America, I always think about potatoes. Such a basic food, but 1000 years ago, nobody here knew about them. I should try the recipes. |

Food geek moment: You can thank the Americas, also known as the New World for this kind of pepper aka chili peppers in some varieties. What we call bell peppers are a totally mild variety. At the house between the creeks (in Decatur, GA) we'd been successfully growing many of the hotter varieties: jalapenos, habaneros, tabascos, serranos (I know I'm forgetting one or two varieties we've tried). I'm surprised we did so well. I would have thought they'd be much more particular to growing in hotter climates. Nothing like having access to fresh peppers, herbs, and other vegetables from you own garden when you can. v We've had at least a couple of rosemary bushes and they keep dying out. I really like to brush my hands on a bush and inhale. Wonderful herb with lamb. Edited by Slartibartfast - January 16 2010 at 10:50 |

Marty, maple syrup can be found in groceries selling international foods - there are quite a few of them in Rome, and I believe you might have some in the Czech Republic too. The one I generally bought in Italy was Canadian, while here I buy US made maple syrup. The important thing is that it must be REAL maple syrup, not imitation stuff, which is mostly made with corn syrup (glucose), and has nowhere the same delicious flavour.

yes Martin those potatoes are perfect-- I realized after I posted that maple syrup is only easy to get in North America (and it's expensive here, too).. see if you can find a small container at a good shop, if not the recipe is also very good without it, just don't use 'pancake' or 'waffle' syrup

And thanks by the way, your hints, suggestions and guides are helping me a lot. You know, I like food, so logical next step in evolution is to learn how to cook it, as I'm sure I'll enjoy the process too (and resultes, haha) |

Will do Dean's first, it looks easy and I have all ingredients. 1)By Paprika, they means pepper spice, am I right ? Because in my language, Paprika means Pepper bell. Will do these potatoes ?
2) & 3) looks similar, while they looks like something that I maybe already ate, third option is unknown to me. Not so familiar with world cuisine, but certainly am trying to be. However, tortilla seems to be favourite one. David Can I use the previously mentioned potatoes, as described on image ? Your recipe seems good too, will have to get some ingredients, but this I will talk about later. Can I get some results without maple syrup ? You know, Central Europe, not so familiar with these things (never tasted, nowhere to get - or at least in mainstream shops, not so keen on trying it, as I heard many stories about it, no offense) I have to get some sausages, they can spice everything and I really lack them now. My girl can cook, but you know, it's good to be a cook I think. My father is and I intend to go into his footsteps (I already did in many parts of life, except drugs and cigarettes, including prog/classic rock) |

David, that recipe sounds like a real killer... I just described it to Micky (who LOVES sausages of every description), and he's already salivating at the thought
 ! I'll be sure to try it, though at the moment I have only Yukon Golds at home.

The last really simple thing I threw together was a won ton soup: pre-made frozen potstickers (yeah, cheating somewhat), chicken broth and then my wife told me we had some sliced green onions in the freezer. It was a little bland, but then I added some chili-garlic sauce and soy sauce to my bowl. A little too much c-gs though, aieee!!!

I'll give you a fairly simple recipe that uses some of the things you mention, others you'd have to get : - 3 or 4 Russet potatoes (the large brown ones), chopped into dice-sized cubes - 1 large yellow or white onion, chopped - 1 green bell pepper, chopped - 3 or 4 sausages, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces (any kind will do but I like a pork sausage that's smoked, Andouille or Hungarian are nice) - real maple syrup - 1/4 cup olive oil - salt & pepper Heat a large pan with half the oil and sautee onions and peppers together with a bit of salt till tender. Remove onions and bell peppers from pan and put in a bowl. Put rest of the oil in the pan, turn flame up to medium, fry potato cubes with some salt&pepper till they start to get golden, reduce heat to low, cover and cook till tender. Put potatoes in the bowl with vegetables, and fry sausage pieces briefly. Return potato/vegetable mixture to pan with the sausage, add about 1/4 cup maple syrup, maybe a bit more S&P to taste, simmer on low for a few minutes, add a splash more of the maple syrup, and enjoy. This may seem complex but it just takes some time, and you'll get the hang of it after making this dish a few times. Good luck! |

...but I would go for a simple Spanish Potato Frittata http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Nans-Potato-And-Egg-Frittata/Detail.aspx

That's close to my bean-burger mix, although I don't mash it too smooth, then fry them off in a little oil.

So, I don't play games much, but let's use the system from game I like. Do ACHIEVEMENTS style. Can cook the chicken Can do soup And so on. So, my question (begging for help, pleaaaaaaase) is, can you recommend me some of these online recipes ? Some easy one, or not necessarily easy, but the most important thing is that it has to be made from basic ingredients. Nothing special, rare. HINT: At home, we have onions :-) You know, it's day before shopping, so can you recommend me something from these also ? :-) thanks forwards. |
