Here are five unusual food offerings I've noticed lately on some of my favorite blogs. I admit I'm starting with the hardest one first, but do you know the name of the unual Greek snack food pictured here, which starts with bread stuffed with cheese, baked, and then filled with assorted things, often french fries and yogurt sauce? I learned about this from Pille of Nami-Nami.
If that one was too challenging (I admit I didn't know it myself) see if you know these other unusual food specialties.
Lisa from Homesick Texan features a type of spicy Mexican Sauce which combines chocolate and chiles. Can you name the sauce?
At One Hot Stove, Nupur creates an Indian dish which features spicy, saffron-scented rice layered with vegetables or meat. What's the name of this famous Indian dish?
Next up, from Gluten-Free By the Bay, a dish from El Salvador which consists of "corn tortillas crafted out of masa harina, stuffed with cheese, beans or meat and topped with a spicy cabbage salad known as curtido." Can you name them? (I admit, this was the other one that stumped me.)
Finally, a great piece on making a famous pasta made from potatoes, which comes from Pip in the City, in Buenos Aires, not somewhere that comes to mind when you think of pasta, but she knows what she's doing here! What's the name of the famous Italian pasta made from potatoes?
We're not keeping score, but if we were, I only knew three out of five of these foods. How did you do?
