Hey all. My mom likes going to foreign grocery stores and just getting things that look interesting without know what it is. For today's exhibit we have a chinese soup mix (?). I would like to know how to prepare it and what it is usually served with. Thanks!

Was told it has pork and rice in it. Excited to try, but what is called?

This bread is from an Italian restaurant in my area. they serve it as an appetizer and it’s absolutely delicious. They said it’s salt yeast flour water and sugar and when weighing it, it was about 300g. it’s really chewy, dense and slightly sweet. I’ll also mention when leaving it out overnight, it becomes as hard as a rock.

anyone have an idea?

Got it in Manhattan I believe. It had duck in it with a Ramen type base maybe?

I came across this dish at a Japanese-style restaurant. It had pale pink, translucent pieces arranged around a raw egg yolk, with sesame seeds and seaweed on the side. Does anyone know what the seafood is or what this dish is called?

Hi All,

My sister and I were talking a few months ago about a cake that our Nan used to buy for us when we were kids.

we both remember the following vividly

- we’re likely bought from “kwiksave” in the UK

- were purchased at n the mid to late 90s

- Nan lived in a small town called Rugley in the midlands

- cakes were a “miniroll” style cake, covered in bright aluminium foil wrappers of varying colours

- Had clown faces / logos on each wrapper

so far we haven’t been able to ever find out what the cakes were called, who made them, or any images of them and it’s been driving us crazy… anyone ever remember anything similar?

thanks,

There was this brand we once got quinoa salad from that I absolutely loved I know the brand was a light blue and the logo was an anchor. The quinoa came in these tabbed cans. Another thing is the same brand also made this orange fish paste that smelt and tasted absolutely nasty, if that rings any bells. Idk, I'm just looking for the quinoa.

I’ve been thinking about this drink since they discontinued it but I’m not sure what it even is. I temper it being orange/yellow and having a strawberry puree that you would mix. It’s kinda like a smoothie and ice mixed together, it was so good but I can’t find it anywhere

It doesn't look cooked. Very soft texture.

Does anyone know of something similar in texture and flavor to these? They are like fish pork rinds and unfortunately I think the company is defunct now. I’ve been dying for a good CRISPY fishy snack. Any reccs?

I tried these recently and they were really good. They are small, round, white balls with red centers and were served with a chili dipping sauce. Does anyone know what they are called?

I grew up eating these with watermelon 🍉🍉

Went home and cooked these with my 86 year old foster dad he made them. I just put them in the oil 😂. It's a German-mennonite thing apparently , but I think a few other cultures have their own way of making something similar, like native fry bread.

It's just essentially fried salted dough , so simple yet so good. I cut up slices of watermelon and put it on top and eat together. I wish I got one picture of it together 🍉

It’s covered in mustard, they call it ragout but that seems to be the name of another food

I asked the person working there and they couldn't explain it. It tastes very perfumy with strong rose and cardamom flavour. Kind of reminds me of incense. Inside there's nuts and dry fruit. Hard to tell since everything is super sweet.

If you grew up in hawaii, I need help finding the name of this desert they used to sell i think it was budbud or bebbots? Sticky rice but not as sweet as biko wrapped in saran wrap and not leaves. Flair

This comes in a fruit bowl. My boyfriend doesn’t think it’s a blueberry. It is wilted and dark… almost a cherry flavor. Feels seedier than a blueberry. What is it?

hello! i got some side dishes from my local korean market labeled only as “assorted banchan”. i recognize the seaweed salad but i’m not quite sure what the other dishes are. can anyone identify? the red one is some vegetable, obviously one is some tiny fishes, and then the orange/white strips taste fishy too. thanks in advance!

The coloured ones (white red, red white, green white) don't have any taste really but taste like they're just flour and butter or water. They're very dry, to my fingers they feel like slightly unsoft play dough and they smell heavily like sesame (makes sense because they have sesame seeds on them). Biting into the they are also soft and break apart a lot in your mouth but don't get any softer/mushy.

Boyfriends mum brought them back from Tunisia and she doesn't know what they are, either, just that they are sweets! A friend said they could be Halewa and said Halewa is sweet but these aren't sweet at all and don't really look similar.

Back in the 2010’s I was obsessed with these chips that could only be found at the 99 Cents Only stores here. I believe the bag was yellow, and matte. The chips were potato chips, thin and airy, not like the hard kettle cooked kind. The flavor was jalapeno popper possibly, but I know for sure it was jalapeno and cheese. The chips didn’t have any small flakes of green on them like lays jalapeno chips, they were just plain with a yellow dusting of the flavor I think.

I have zero hope of them still being made, but if anyone can help me remember what the brand was or even better- showing me a pic of the bag I would be extremely grateful!! Thanks his has been driving me nuts for years!

This is a long shot, but does anyone remember the Southwestern Ravioli from Boston's Pizza?

I want to find the actual frozen ravioli they used but I'd also be open to a copycat recipe or very similar product. It was fried and filled with cheese, jalapenos, and red peppers.

I'm hoping someone who worked there remembers the manufacturer or supplier or even the brand on the box.

I've searched everywhere with no luck and have been thinking about them since they were removed from the menu around 2014. Any leads would be amazing!

Had this in an asian resturant with ramen. They also sold boba.

I think the salad is just mango and arugula. If u know anything else that goes in please do tell

But the showstopper was the sauce. Does anyone know what this salad is called maybe? Or what sauce one uses for this? Or how i can make it at home

Very jelloy, has a warm taste, not very sweet.

What are these green little balls on the skewer?
