At my previous home, someone in my neighborhood did have a starfruit tree. That's how I got to try them out! They're very good. Florida's a pretty good place to grow those sorts of things, it seems. I like Japanese food a lot. I was wanting to try onigiri for ages, but no Japanese restaurant had them until my friend introduced me to a family run restaurant called ChaCha's. They were really good and I got to try some great food there! I also love green tea ice cream a lot. It's so different. Even people who don't care for green tea can get into the ice cream version because the flavor is more mild. As for other foods I'd like to try, some actual ramen. Not the instant stuff. I think ChaCha's might have it though, so I'll look into that. I'd also love to visit Japan someday too, once I'm better at the language. I'd definitely try out the food over there.

This winter I tried pomegranate for the first time. Strangely, it tasted a lot like clementines... but i was told that's because i didn't eat the seeds, which are said to be much more acidic and bitter. (I have a weaker stomach then the norm, so i didn't eat the seeds from fear of stomachache.) If you don't know what clementines are, well, they are like tiny oranges about the size of a golf ball. They taste a bit sweeter and the peel is a lot thinner. They made good lunch box snacks when we were kids. XD Twitt Stuff Insta Arts |

Has anyone ever tried Halva? It's a sort of sweet with a strange texture. I've only had it once but it's delicious! |

We used to have a star fruit tree or two growing up, the flowers are kind of odd smelling from memory. I can eat Vegemite by the spoonful too. If it's way past its "best before" date it develops a slightly different flavour that I prefer. Mmm, salty black yeast spread that's several years old... |

How many years after its' best before date? I can't say I've ever noticed ancient Vegemite tasting any different to the fresh????? My TCR Norns |

Isn't it pretty salty? Maybe it is so salty that barely anything survives. In this case you can eat it for pretty long. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

Ha, maybe I shouldn't mention how many years lest everyone judges me.  It is a subtle difference, though. |

The last jar I finished was about 6 months past its date. Still tasty! |

I'm going to keep eye out for this Havla |

I can't say I've ever had 'fresh Vegemite' and 'aged Vegemite' to compare the two... Also, Papriko, Vegemite is about 8.6% salt. My TCR Norns |

I tried Vegemite once and found it tasted kind of like vegetable bouillon (soup broth cubes). I actually found it pretty tasty. I used to have a weird habit of nibbling on bouillon cubes when I was younger. I'm not fond of a lot of our traditional American food so I'm not well-versed in that. I am pretty well-versed in dairy-free/vegetarian/plant-based cooking though if anyone has questions about that. Not really "foreign food" geographically, but it's "foreign food" in terms of familiarity to many people. I'm pretty decent at making non-cheese things taste like cheese. The secret is nutritional yeast (among other things).  And as a Southern California resident, I'm pretty well-versed in "fresh-mex" or "cali-mex" in particular (it's basically lightened up Mexican food, super delicious). I've sadly not had a chance to travel outside the US (or much within it) yet so I often wonder what interesting foods I am missing out on! |

It is possible to use vegemite in place of stock cubes. I had someone recommend mixing it with rice...but I still don't know how to do it yet. |
|||
Peppery One Papriko |
Maybe you are supposed to dissolve it in the water you later use to boil the rice. Or you should mix it into the sauce. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

Ooo! I've often wondered about Vegimite! I might try it, since someone else also mentioned that they had a weird had of eating bullion cubes! If anyone has questions about Ukrainian or German food--or even American--I'm able to answer some of these 8D |

Can't say that I'm familiar with Ukrainian foods. What kind of delicacies would someone from Ukraine enjoy? My favorite norn is still Belldandy. |

My boyfriend had artichoke for the first time the other day, and he was like "How do I eat this?" Silly. |

I'm wondering what the difference between bratwurst and sausage is. Trell "Holy crap in a casket!" |

generalflame, You have to realize that most people especially Americans have not even known about Pomegranates until the Pome company came out with them back in the early 21st century. And even then, like now, most just know them by their occasional flavor or juice appearances in cereals, smoothies, juices, etc. The thing I personally find sad is that like most other produce, most people only know (including Californians) Pomegranates by just one variety, when there's at least 40 types out there. I could be underestimating, there could be, like with most other fruits, easily over 100. Plus there's different colors too, which is always fun. (yellow, white, pink, red, black) Because healthy foods like fruit and veggies aren't a big thing in America, we're still learning about them. -Karias; a bit fruity and gone bananas in the wrong climate! |

Hmm, I distinctly recall having pomegranates at our home in the mid - late eighties in south central Texas. I have no idea where they came from as I was around ten years old at the time. We do have family overseas, so it's possible that they brought them over during a visit. My favorite norn is still Belldandy. |

I remember eating pomegranates every once in a while as a small child, and then there was a period of many years where I didn't so much as see one. My friend had a few at her house and the taste just brought all the memories back. Having heard that pom seeds sprout easily, I cleaned off the pits I had left behind and tried to sprout them in a plastic bag. I guess *tried* was the key word: only 1/10 seeds sprouted a root...and then stopped growing. Oh well, maybe next time. At least my clementine seedlings are growing well. |
