The definitive street foods of England, Denmark, and 12 other European countries When you're in a new and unfamiliar place, one of the best tools for learning about the culture is food. But you don't want fancy stuff: that's for tourists and wealthy people with expensive ascots. You've gotta go to the streets, where pizza (or whatever that country's version of pizza is) is king. Or duke. The best international fast-food items from 10 major chains Flickr/Ryan Belgium: Frites Frites were pretty much invented in Belgium (although France's claim is more stuck in the collective American consciousness), and they remain the most ubiquitous street food there.

ShareThis Copy and Paste Maui Onion Dip We are a dippy family. Yeah those you that know us probably just nodded your head yes and agreed with that statement, but I’m not talking that kind of dippy, I’m talkin’ dip dip. We love dips. Be it artichoke or olive, dill, veggie or clam, (hey we are from New England after all) or even the Heluva Good dips my husband loves to keep the fridge stocked with, we love a good dippin’. Onion dip is one of our favorites and up until now we enjoyed the occasional Lipton onion dip, but sadly, that can be no more. I’m afraid I have to cast off the powdery dip in the pouch now that I have found this dip. This creamy, tantalizing onion dip that is like no other dip we have tasted. Amazingly good. The hardest part of making this was caramelizing the onions and that took like all of 20 minutes. I made this over the weekend when we had 2 extra kids in the house (as always) and the gang of them just about polished the whole bowl off on us. Must make more. Honestly, if you love dip, make this.

Her waitress told her the cost would be "two fifty," and the woman agreed. Then she saw her credit card statement: $250. Yikes! That story might just be a tall, half-baked tale. But it gets at the heart of dining in Dallas: Some dishes are so exceptional, so iconic they've become part of the intricate story of Dallas. Here's a list of some of those coveted recipes. Jack Keller, owner of Dallas’ Keller’s burger restaurants, says “it’s hard to mess up a hamburger.” Keller’s family has been making burgers in Dallas for 65 years.

100 Greatest Cooking Tips (of all time!) : Chefs 1. Remember, y'all, it’s all about the prep. Take away the stress by doing the prep the night or day before.

It’s a very simple skill and I’m sure many of you have down pat, but for those of you who don’t roast garlic on a regular basis, TRUST ME: you’re wandering around in a culinary void. And the only thing in the universe that will fill the void and turn you into the whole, well-rounded person your grandmother intended you to be is roasted garlic. The flavor is…well, there’s nothing like it on earth. The first thing you need to do is grab a bunch of heads of garlic. Try not to buy them too small. Next, find one of your oldest, dearest pie pans. Then, just tilt the pan around to coat the bottom thoroughly. Next, place the garlic heads, cut side up, in the pan. They look a bit like some bizarre form of sea creature at this point, don’t they? Drizzle the exposed cloves with olive oil. Then, sprinkle the cloves with salt. Look. Here’s my dish of Kosher salt. Anyway, after you salt the cloves, you’ll want to pepper them, too. And look!
Yaki Onigiri Recipe January 30, 2010 yaki onigiri Onigiri are handheld, portable rice balls that are Japan’s equivalent to the sandwich.
