I've noticed there are several members here from outside the USA.
Although I don't cook much anymore, my daughters have inherited my enjoyment of trying recipes from "far away" so I get to sample them at their houses.
So do you have a yummy favorite recipe that we Yanks might not have heard of before?
If so, please share!

This will be great to get some recipes from all over the world. Thanks!

looking forward to receiving some of the "far-off" delicacies

I thought it'd be a good topic but it doesn't look too promising, does it?
Might not get any recipes at all...lol
Win some, lose some. :-)

well, I will start something from right here in USA and it's very easy...and quick.

Peach cobbler
1 cup each flour and sugar
1 tsp. each of salt and baking powder
1 egg.
Mix dry ingredients and break egg into it, stir with fork until crumbly.

using an 8" or 9" sq. pan, place peaches from a 16oz. can, drained, into bottom of pan. I usually cut peaches into smaller pieces.
Dot with pieces of butter and then sprinkle with cinnamon.

Cover with the crumb mixture and bake 45 minutes at 325 degrees or until nicely browned.
The last time I made this, I also sprinkled with cinnamon on top of crumbs.
Serve warm or cold and with whipped cream or ice cream & enjoy

When I was stationed in the Philippines eons ago, The best recipe I ever got was from the American southwest.

Cook a roast beef all day in the slow cooker until it shreds. Drain the juices and save for something else. Shred the beef separating the fat, bones. Put the beef back in the low cooker along with a jar of picante sauce ( I use Medium). Cook for another hour or so. Fix your tacos or burritos using this instead of hamburger.

This is really delicious.

This is a traditional Australian desert. Definitely NOT for the diet conscious.


PAVLOVA

4 egg whites, 6 tbs sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp vinegar. Whipping cream, fruit.

Beat egg whites stiffly, then add 3 tabs sugar. Beat again, then add vanilla and vinegar. Beat again, and add remaining 3 tbs sugar, and beat again (the sugar should all be dissolved).

Make a mound about 8" round on baking paper, and make a slight depression the centre. Put on a cold oven tray and bake in a slow oven about 1½ hours until a slight tinge of colour. Allow to cool, then fill the depression with whipped cream. Top with strawberries; or sliced banana and passionfruit; or drained crushed pineapple; or crushed peppermint crisps; or kiwi fruit, etc. - what ever takes your fancy.

The inside should be 'marshmallowy' - that is what the vinegar does.

Another one from Australia.


Lamingtons

Block of plain cake (butter cake is fine) about 1½" thick. Cut into 2" squares, dip in chocolate icing, and roll in coconut. Leave to set. Enjoy.

A lot of schools, sporting and social clubs etc have "Lamington Drives' to raise money. The mums make lamingtons by the 100's.

Lamingtons sound interesting, but could you also post the icing recipe if there is a homemade one. The ones I have in mind are to thick to "dip" it in.

8 oz pure icing sugar, 1 tsp butter, milk to mix. If you add too much milk, just add more icing sugar.
