Thigh Food
I love Asian and Italian vegan food. What is your favorite ethnic vegan cuisine?
We recently went to Lalibela Ethiopian. It was great and now we want to try more less traditional cuisines. Any kind welcome! In Tulsa/Broken Arrow.

I haven't found African food that comes anywhere near what I have had in places like Ethiopia and Sudan - if anyone could recommend some, that would be great.
Thank you for listening
EDIT: Added some that slipped my mind.

As American as _________
Inspired from a thread in r/vancouver which was inspired from a similar thread on r/London.
Iβm really fond of Cuisine of the Himalayas in Bergen Park. Nice people, good food, always have space.
Edit: THANKS! Seriously, more variety out of these recommendations than anything Iβve seen in months on this sub.
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like in western styles of cooking you are trying to brown your meat as much as possible to get the maillard reaction going and in many Asian dishes that I see tutorials for that is not done nearly as often. I watch some of these recipe videos and I can't help but wonder why one would not put some color on the meat before adding it to the dish.
I used to date a girl from Changsha. One night she was cooking dinner and I watched her boil cubes of beef, then strain out the liquid, then rinse the meat because she "didn't want it to taste too meaty". I'm an American and this seemed like sacrilege.
Another example would be one of my recent attempts at making a thai green curry, browning the chicken before it goes into the sauce is not one of the steps. While the sauce and vegetables in thai curry are typically delicious, the meat tends to taste like it's an addition for the sake of nutrition and texture as opposed to being there for flavor.
I'm not saying one style is better than the other, I'm mostly just curious as to why there is this a difference in trends and what are the pros and cons of not browning ones meat.
Americans (I'm too late for Canada, sorry!), while thinking about what to put on the Thanksgiving table, consider some of the plants and animals that have been all but erased from American culinary history. Even if you'd prefer to ignore the legend of wholesome Pilgrim and Indian cooperation, we can still maintain the best part of the Thanksgiving tradition--bringing your family or friends together through the celebration of indigenous foods.
After reading about kiviak (a real thing that exists in our world), I thought about how few truly local cuisines Iβve experienced in the boundless worlds Iβve visited in RPGs. So, hereβs a little (mostly silly) way to solve that.
If you ever need some local flavor in a foreign part of the world, just use this generator to make some local cuisine.
WTF Is the Local Cuisine Generator: https://localcuisine.github.io/ All local cuisines include the ingredients, recipe, and how to eat them.
I hope some users find this helpful, fun, or inspiring.
WTF Is the Local Cuisine Generator was lovingly created by Gollicking users: u/RexiconJesse, u/Mimir-ion, u/zweefer, u/PaganUnicorn, & u/Painshifter .
Oh right. I forgot to add this. My website has more RPG ideas to steal. rexiconjesse.com/
Edit: I wasn't expeting that many people to enjoy this. I'm so glad to see there are people who do. And even a silver. Thanks, friendos.

... keep reading on reddit β‘- Picard, Jadzia Dax, Deanna Troi, Neelix, and to a lesser extent Worf, often try many different species' food, although as a kid, Worf did go through a phase of only wanting Klingon food.
- Kira mainly eats Bajoran food, although she occasionally eats human food. Never seen her eat any other species' food, though.
- Generally only Klingons seem to like Klingon food, but Neelix, Jadzia Dax, Dr. Bashir, and Melora (from that one episode of DS9) are exceptions.
- While not food exactly, everyone seems to drink alcohol from other species (just look at Romulan ale and Saurian brandy). Blood wine, however, seems to be strictly a Klingon thing.
- Rom eats human food sometimes but Quark finds it gross. Not sure about Nog. I've never seen a non-Ferengi eat Ferengi food.
- Only Cardassians seem to like their food.
- I don't recall seeing Suder or the Trois eating their native food. In fact, I'm not sure what Betazoid food is even like.
- Vulcans are somewhat prone to cross-species dining, although they typically still eat plain food regardless of planet of origin.
My college (high school) used to serve overcooked Pasta with Baked Beans and Cheddar Cheese on top as a lunch option, which is probably going to trigger every Italian ever, but to be fair schools in England ruin British food too.
In the UK there are two types of Italian food generally, 10% of it is actual Italian food, at restaurants run by Italian immigrants, the most famous of these is probably Carluccio's, and a few supermarkets sell some quality Italian ingredients (Sainsbury and Waitrose only)
Then 90% of it is trash tier 'British Italian' food, like Carbonara with double cream and bacon, Ragu with bacon and no wine, cheddar cheese on everything, two or three times too much sauce, in most supermarkets in the UK Barilla is the best pasta and they sell some really low grade value pastas for Β£0.20p for 500g and people here cannot tell they are bad. Also the sauces in jars in the UK supermarkets are really bad too, all of them are basically just tomato, onion and garlic.
Italian food is probably the most fucked up in the UK, people here just cook it wrong
