      Guys,

      I'm not too sure what the national dish is here in Ireland but the Net tells me its Irish Stew!

      Mike

      Do you ever eat it, or only we tourists?

        Hah... That's classical though.

        For a "traditional Hungarian dish" one would say "goulash" which is (for tourists) made totally differently than what we understand as a goulash. 😉

              Being Scots, I think most folks here already know what our national dish is.... and a recipe would only suffice to put others off. Made badly it tastes like dog food, but made well I'd trade the finest fillet steak for a spoonful of this "warm, reeking rich" delicacy any day!

              Nevertheless, here's a photo- exactly as it we serve it at a traditional Scots Burns Supper, cut open with a "sgian dubh"- a small knife traditionally (and hygenically) kept in the top of your right sock!

                    I had some of this in Edinburgh a few years ao and it was pretty good. But I don't think I have the nerver to 1: Try to make it. 2;) Try to serve it here in Colorado. (Although as a small part of an appetizer plate with other Scottish dishes it might work.)

                    While in Edinburgh I ate twice at the Peacock for the Fish and Chips. It was great! ☀

                      LOL, that's amazing- Edinburgh is my hometown and the Peacock Inn is one of my family's favourite eateries entirely on the basis of their fish and chips! You chose well!

                      Re: haggis, even in Scotland almost nobody makes it themselves- Macsween's Butchers are pretty much unanimously acknowledged as having perfected the somewhat gruesome recipe many decades ago and the vast majority of haggis fans are now happy to leave the actual preparation to them. http://www.macsween.co.uk/

                      Unfortunately for many Scots-descended Americans it's currently illegal to import haggis to the States, but then maybe many American diners are glad of this! LOL

                        Yes - I had lunch there while my wife was off on the tour bus to Glasgow. It was so great that I took her to dinner there the same night.

                        I loved Scotland, and although you probably won't appreciate it, I loved the accent as well. (What accent? 😮 )

                        I took the city tour bus three times because the people giving the narration were so friendly, and so fun. And the third time around we got to see Queen Elizabeth and Price Phillip entering a house - (with much less security then we Americans would have thought possible - even prior to 9/11) - from the top of the bus.

                        Can't wait to get back.

                            Australia - T-bone steak and veg [not the 'shrimp on the bbq you thought....]

                            Or maybe bucket of banana prawns, slice of lemon and a cold beer.

                            purpose/expression/purpose/....

                                  Another South African dish, and my favorite.

                                  Peri-Peri Chicken

                                  500 grams chicken tenderloins
                                  seasoned flour
                                  1/4 cup olive oil
                                  3 cloves crushed garlic
                                  3 tablespoons fresh chopped coriander leaves or parsley
                                  2 teaspoons chicken stock powder
                                  1/2 red chile -- sliced
                                  3 tablespoons lemon juice
                                  1 kilogram baby potatoes -- parboil and quarter
                                  Peri-Peri basting sauce

                                  Sprinkle the chicken with the seasoned flour. Mix together the oil, garlic, coriander or parsley, dry chicken-stock powder, chili and lemon juice to make a paste. Toss the chicken into the mixture to coat. Stir fry in a hot frying pan in the olive oil for 5-8 minutes until the chicken is just cooked. Add the potatoes and peri-peri sauce and warm through. Serve with extra peri-peri sauce, Portuguese rolls and fresh sambal salads, e.g. chopped onion, cubed avocado, diced cucumber, cubed tomato, cubed pineapple etc.

                                    I local friend advised a Harry Potter theme. I suggested that most of the foods mentioned in Harry Potter might only appeal to a younger crowd.

                                    I think you might underestimate the number of Harry Potter fans among people (in particular women) who might also be in the range of people who might regularly dine at Sansone's. You may even know a couple of them fairly well.

                                    I didn't mean that there weren't any older fans, just that the older fans might not like the same foods as the characters in the book:

                                    The ones which best qualify as traditional foods are: shepherd's pie, Cornish Pastries, steak and kidney pudding, Yorkshire pudding, and spotted dick (which we remember so well from the Aubrey / Maturin series). Still these could work well as a combination English / Harry Potter theme.

                                      Isn't that the same as "Shrimp on the Barbie?"

                                      I was surprised when Outback Steak House first opened that their idea of Australian dishes was:

                                      Kookaburra Wings®
                                      Aussie Cheese Fries
                                      Walkabout Soup® of the Day
                                      Alice Springs Chicken®, etc.

                                      I was surprised that they couldn't adopt anything which sounded like an authentic Australian food.

                                      For instance, our Rodizio Grill (Brazilian) offered things like Quail Eggs which we don't usually see at other restaurants.

                                        Thanks Solo - we made Peri-Peri Shrimp last year - so I still have a tin of Peri-Peri powder left over. (I was doing a similar apprenticeship for appetizers).

                                        What do you serve it with?
                                        [edit: I guess I could have read the end of the recipe 😡 ]

                                        Is Peri-Peri a South African term, or an island nearby?

                                          Peri peri is originally a Mozambique Portuguese dish, South Africans (myself included) used to vacation in Lorenzo Marques and the meal was adopted into our cuisine, after the collapse of the Portuguese Mozambique it became one of our traditionals. Nando's chicken a large International Peri chicken chain is South African founded and is doing a great job in spreading the dish around the world.

                                            Isn't that the same as "Shrimp on the Barbie?"

                                            I was surprised when Outback Steak House first opened that their idea of Australian dishes was:

                                            Kookaburra Wings®
                                            Aussie Cheese Fries
                                            Walkabout Soup® of the Day
                                            Alice Springs Chicken®, etc.

                                            I was surprised that they couldn't adopt anything which sounded like an authentic Australian food.

                                            Thanks Franchising for you I guess, Al.....

                                            I expected the shrimp joke sooner than later; gee that thing has stuck hasn't it?
