omg pls share som cabbage recipes!!!
I couldn't find the recipes in english, so I assume they're out cultural balkan dishes; I am not a very precise cook but I can explain what I'm doing.
One of my favourite ways to eat cabbage is 'Cabbage Pasta', we call it 'little cloths' because the pasta we use is usually cut like little cloths. This is how it's done: you sautee some onion, garlic and spices on oil, then you add cabbage, cut neatly into small pieces (they can be rectangular pieces, it's not super important), then you add half a glass of water and cover it up and let the cabbage take in all of the spices and alliums. It should cook like that for 10-15 minutes, or until the cabbage is soft, then you add in pre-cooked pasta in! You let it all cook together for a bit so the pasta takes in the flavour too, and all of the water should be taken in by cabbage and pasta. And you're done! The spices used in this are usually salt and sweet paprika, you could use soy sauce too and add anything to your liking. It's absolutely delicious.
The second recipe is something I've had all of my life, it's like a stew maybe? But basically you also sautee some onions, garlic or whatever spice you want on some oil, add tomato paste or tomato juice, or you can go with freshly cut tomatoes as well, add water, and put in cut cabbage and potatoes (you can also add carrots and more vegetables!). It's very delicious when it cooks down like that. I also like to add just a spoon of vinegar in it, I seem to like the added acidity.
Other ways I like to eat it is in a salad of course, and in spring rolls!
One really popular cultural recipe here is 'filled cabbage', and I've never actually made it, our name for it is 'sarma', which I can't really translate into anything. It's made by specifically preparing the fermented cabbage leaves, so they can serve as a wrapping for a mix of rice, meat and spices. Then they're all cooked in a broth with alliums, spices, more cabbage and tomato paste. I could do it with rice and soy, but it's honestly intimidating for me to try, the leaves need to be wrapped just so the entire thing doesn't fall apart, and I first need to figure out correct fermenting methods for cabbage.
Everyone else drop your favourite ways to eat cabbage as well! Add cabbage recipes for the anon :)

Haven't posted a Palestinian recipe in a while. I think positivity like this is needed as Palestinians are more than just their genocide and trauma.
These are Ka'ak Al-Quds, Jerusalem Bagels, made by @mxriyum on TikTok. You should give them a try :)

as an indian person, my favourite thing is seeing what people who aren't from here have done with my food; i'll go to an indian restaurant in a random corner of the world and they're putting oregano in their palak paneer or a balsamic wash on their naan and it's like "yes good tell me how you folded your culture into mine and came out with something new and lovely, we're holding hands across oceans bestie"
#brought to you by a very nice conversation I had with someone today#food#culture#meow speaks#my danish friend is making my grandmother's poshto recipe and my american friend learnt how to make sambhar the way my great grandma makes#and swapped ingredients for what they had and were bonded now forever ♥️🥲#and I put crushed peanuts on top of all pasta dishes cause it reminds me of my friend from Bangkok who did the same

Dungeon Meshi modern au where both Laois and Falin are food vloggers. Laois is always travelling to remote areas and cultures to try the most "extreme" foods and bring them to light. He's known as the guy who will drink blood and slam a still wriggling bug just to comment on it's nutty flavor. Meanwhile Falin is visiting long-standing eateries and sharing the stories behind local cuisine.
Nobody actually puts together they're siblings (in part due to wildly different viewerbases) until Falin in one video mentions how she enjoys eating insects and the comment section is full of folks asking her to "collab with the bug guy". Her very next video is her and Laois smiling infront of a mukbang style platter of insects and she introduces him as her brother.
#marcille is falins video editor/manager in general#which results in a lot of fancy editing and trip booking#meanwhile laois is working with his crew of senshi and kabru#kabru works as the face getting them in to restricted areas and senshi actually documents these cultures recipes#marcille actually edits laois vids too despite getting so grossed out watching them#meanwhile she makes falin eating blood sausage look like art#chilchuk is just on call at all times to get them in and out of countries#he takes care of scheduling in general you think the touden siblings can keep a calendar#itzumi is the picky eater friend that i feel needs to appear in more food review content#dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#modern au#laois touden#falin touden

the recipe for the brownie baked oats (regular baked oats but with cocoa powder in them, I make mine with frozen raspberries and chocolate chips) calls them a "guilt-free treat" and like ma'am I would have and in fact have had regular brownies for breakfast and did not feel even the slightest twinge about it, the oats just go better with yoghurt
#dottie rambles#diet culture#you can just eat food that's tasty it's okay i promise#and this is really good!#a very forgiving recipe#I've straight-up left out ingredients before and nothing significant happened

The Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节), a Chinese celebratory season observed by many East and Southeast Asians, has begun. Held on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, which is in the middle of autumn, the festival marks the end of the season’s harvest and is a time to appreciate the moon at its fullest and brightest. Besides feasting eyes on the moon and lanterns of different shapes and sizes, Mooncakes (月饼), a rich pastry with all sorts of fillings, are undoubtedly the main highlight of the festival and are traditionally shared among family and friends.
The Cantonese Mooncake (广式月饼) is the most commonly found traditional mooncake in Singapore. Its fillings consist of lotus seed or red bean paste and usually include one, two or four salted duck egg yolks. Many would also be familiar with the snow skin variant that was created in Hong Kong in the 1960s as a healthier alternative to traditional baked mooncakes. The fillings and a ball of dough are traditionally pressed into a wooden mould, which embosses intricate wordings of the pastry shop’s name or stuffing on top of the pastry.
A mooncake with various flavours such as rich, savoury-sweet and peppery, the Hainanese Mooncake (海南月饼), also known as Su Yan Bing (��盐饼) is traditionally filled with ingredients such as fried shallots, lard, salt, white pepper, rose-flavoured white sugar, sesame seeds, melon seeds and dried wild tangerine skin peel. The filling is encased in a thin crust made with flour, salt and lard.
The Hakka Mooncake (客家月饼) is also called Yu Gao (月糕) and is a flat, snow-white disc that is typically made with cooked glutinous rice flour and sugar, giving it a crumbly and powdery texture. It is usually embellished with more intricate designs, often with animals and flowers. Although it doesn’t usually contain any fillings, some come with candied winter melon, desiccated coconut and sesame seeds mixed with glutinous rice flour, sugar, margarine and water.
Easily distinguishable by the red stamp of Chinese characters on the top of the crust and its white disc-shaped pastry which resembles a bright moon, the Hokkien Mooncake (福建月饼) consists of a dry and sweet filling that is made of candied winter melon, tangerine peel, melon seeds, sugar, and cooked with lard or peanut oil. A less common type is a savoury version with minced meat filling. Once known as Scholar Cakes (状元糕), they were given to those who took part in the Imperial examinations. Today, it is given as a symbol of good luck to those who are about to sit for their exams.
Many would be familiar with the Teochew Mooncakes (潮州月饼). It has a crispy, spiral-layered crust that crumbles easily. It originated from the Chaoshan (潮汕) area in Guangdong Province and typically consists of yam paste and a salted duck egg yolk. Other traditional versions of the Teochew mooncake are still made by old school bakeries in Singapore. For example, La Bia (朥饼 or lard biscuit), where ‘La’ refers to pork oil, has a thinner, flaky crust with a thick mung bean or red bean filling. There are also alternative fillings including red bean, mung bean or lotus seed paste. There is also a steamed version of the typically baked Teochew mooncake, called La Gao (朥糕). It can either be served plain or with a mung bean filling.
A Snow Skin Mooncake (冰皮月饼) variant was created in Hong Kong in the 1960s as a healthier alternative to traditional baked mooncakes. Similar to mochi, its crust is made of glutinous rice flour and varies in colour, based on the flavours used. And unlike traditional mooncakes, these are best served cold!

Fuck Canon Tiingilar
i hate the canon tiingilar recipe with my whole heart. Look at this (original source Galaxy's Edge cookbook). This is supposed to be "blisteringly spicy Mandalorian stew or casserole"? This is a mild chicken curry.
It sounds good, but it's not the rich, spicy, flavor-packed mandalorian stew of my dreams.
Let's start by breaking down the etymology of tiingilar.
Tiingilar is broken into 3 parts: Tiin, gi, and lar.
Tiin is an underived form of tiin'la, or coarse.
Gi is the word for fish.
Lar is a bit up in the air; it could be related to laar, for sing (which anyone who's seen someone bite into something spicier than they can handle can understand), or galar, for spill/pour (makes sense for stew), or even olar for "here", which I suppouse could be extrapolated to mean "whatever is here" for a stew which has flexible ingredients.
But the really important bits are the "tiin" and the "gi"! The first chunk of tiingilar means "coarse/rough fish(y)".
The other food word we have with "gi" in it from canon mando'a is "gihaal", (which, hilariously, breaks down into fish-breath), a pungent fishmeal. It's long lasting and stable which means its probably a staple ration food. It sounds like it'd put most people off at first, but given mandalorian tastes prioritize strong flavors (draluram), possibly including pungent flavors, and "richly nourishing" foods (yaiyai) it's probably a pretty common ingredient.
Guess what fishmeal is! A very high protein (typically 50-60%, but up to 70% for some varieties!), nutritionally dense, and coarsely textured! It's used in any cuisines; some is processed for human consumption but I cannot find any sources that use it in food except in research aiming to combat malnutrition (shout out to researchers at the Abeokuta University of Agriculture for being the best resource about fishmeal in food!). Although we can't know that gihaal would be the same as our version of fishmeal (which is normally processed from whole fish), I think that we can assume that mando'ade woudn't be skimping on the inclusion of bone, which include a lot of valuable nutrients, and would make it coarse.
So, gihaal is a pungent, likely coarse fishmeal that is a staple nutritional supplement in, at minimum, field cookery. It would make nutritionally-dense, protein packed, and strongly flavored base for tiingilar. Makes sense linguistically and practically for mandalorians to build their cooking around nutritionally valuable and shelf-stable rations.
Which brings me to the mandalorian values in food! Draluram (bright mouth: intense, bold flavors), heturam (spicy as in heat burning in the mouth), hetikleyc (spicy as in sinus burn), and yai'yai (richly nourishing, which I personally take to mean both nutritionally dense and satiating) are the 4 canon words that express the priorities in mandalorian cuisine.
These values fit in with the inclusion of gihaal as a base for tiingilar, adding yai'yai if not draluram, but where's my spice? Where's my layers of spice, the sharp sinus burn that makes your eyes water and the creeping warmth that leaves you panting and the bright heat and the numbing and tingling sensation at your lips?
Definitely not in that yellow curry recipe.
The inclusion of ginger and cinnamon (from garam masala) are both nice, but think bigger and broader! Obviously, we don't have mandalorian herbs, but add spice with chilies, cayenne, ginger, horseradish, mustard seeds, sichuan pepper! Bring out warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, star anise! Highlight the different elements of spice and warmth and flavor with enthusiasm and delight!
As for draluram, I think the pungent flavor of fish is a nice, bold addition to something for a unique flavor, but let's not forget other players. Aliums like garlic and onions are always lovely, but what about citrus? If mandalorians have behot, what's stopping you from adding in citrus juice or peel or some kaffir lime leaves? What about strong bitter flavors from vegetables you choose, like mustard greens or kale, or the rich savory taste of browned meats if you want more protein in your dish?
Yai'yai, we have a good base of protein and fat and nutritional content from the fishmeal, but why not build it out? Add sugar, both to balance flavors and because energy is energy and mandalorians certainly like their sweets. Fats and oils, other meats and proteins, vegetables and carbs. Add nuts, peanut butter, sesame for added bulk and another element of flavour. I want to see an end product that sticks to your ribs, that makes me skip seconds on not because I don't want more, but because I'm full on one serving.
Back to the etymology. Mild chicken curry is not tiin, nor does it have gi. It's fairly yai'yai, got decent draluram, negligible heturam, and no hetikleyc.
Tiingilar with a gihaal base (in irl cooking, any kind of fish base) and heavier seasoning to add multiple kinds of heat would fit all of those categories so much better.
So I guess in the end, I'm saying I don't have an idea of tiingilar as any one recipe, but tiingilar as a general dish that leans into mandalorian food culture and the literal meaning of the word. Maybe it's little gritty and somewhat fishy, but it's a rich and spicy and flavorful meal you can make with whatever on hand as long as you have a handful of staples.

TRADITIONAL FOODS OF THE HIGHLANDS
The Highlands or 'Greathill' is a region in the central north-northwestern territory claimed by (but almost entirely uncontrolled by) the Wardi Empire. They are inhabited by a network of peoples collectively referred to as the Hill Tribes, who are not a unified or monolithic group but share ancestry, similar means of subsistence, and a common traditional diet.
The highlands are regionally unique for their altitude and relatively cool temperatures (and is the only part of the region that can expect snow on a yearly basis, with some of the highest peaks receiving snowfall year-round). The climate is overall dry, though the rivers are usually well fed by high altitude rains and snowmelt, and the river valleys are wet enough year-round to sustain woodlands and more delicate agriculture.
Most vegetables can only reliably farmed in the river valleys, and these key regions are typically under the control of specific clans or tribes who dominate intra-Highlands trade networks. Those living outside of the river valleys have only occasional access to most farmed vegetables, and foraging is an important supplement to the core diet. Hardier crops are grown on terraced slopes, and the vast majority of the landscape is used as grazing pasture.
The regional cuisine revolves around grain (especially barley and most often taken in the form of bread), meat, cheese, milk, and yogurt. The flavoring stands in stark contrast to the surrounding Wardi cuisines, traditionally being only lightly seasoned (few spices are natively available) and mostly reliant on subtle herbal flavoring, though both palates are in agreement on the value of capsaicin.
Many of the Hill Tribes (or individual clans) have trade connections outside of the highlands, but food (aside from livestock) and spices are not common imports. The majority of the population have maintained traditional culinary practices that are unique among the wider region (though with some inevitable cultural cross-pollination).
Most dishes are eaten by hand out of serving plates and bowls, with spoons used for some soups and porridges. Almost every meal is served with flatbread, which is torn off and used to collect and eat the rest of the food. It is considered good manners to save a piece of bread for last, which will be used to soak up any remaining juices after a plate is cleaned (not doing so is a mild insult to the cook).
Tea is an important part of the daily routine, and is served alongside each meal. Traditional teas in this region are exclusively herbal and consumed for both taste and medicinal purposes, and none are caffeinated (though one has a stimulant effect). Tea is by far the most popular edible import in trade with the broader Imperial Wardi region (along with salt), with imports of tea leaves being desirable and having become quite popular in the last century.
Staple foods:
Barley- the absolute most important staple grain. Most barley grown in the region is a strain that better tolerates the highland’s regionally unique combination of seasonal cold, dry climate, and high altitudes.
Wheat- more delicate than barley and not as widely grown, but a key crop in the more fertile river valleys
Kulys- a native hardy, spiny plant that stores water in its trunk and is tolerant to dry and cold seasons. Its young stalks are edible, but the fruits and flowers are of greater regional importance. The flowers are used for a lightly sweet herbal tea, and the fruits are a important to the diet and usually eaten on their own.
Amaranth- a species of amaranth is regionally native and domesticated, with seeds eaten whole or ground into flour and leaves being used for green vegetables.
Squash- grown only in the river valleys and a key item in trade within the highlands. Squashes are found nowhere else on this side of the Viper seaway, and were likely brought along overseas by the original migrant population.
Chili peppers- several strains are grown in the region (ranging from very mild to chiltepin levels of capsaicin) and mostly used to create spicy yogurt sauces and to flavor stronger dishes.
Wild onion- a region-specific onion species, tolerant of harsh growing traditions but difficult to propagate, mostly foraged.
Magah- a farmed. potato-esque tuber, more strongly flavored and bitter than potatoes.
Dairy products- dairy is foundational to the diet and used to create a variety of yogurts, creams, butters, and cheeses, and milk is often consumed on its own. Cattle and horse milk is preferred, khait will be opportunistically milked but have much lower yields.
Cattle- Cattle are of utmost and absolute importance to the diet (in the form of meat and milk) and overall lifestyle. Wealth is primarily measured in the size of cattle herds. The native landrace of cattle is well accommodated to altitude and seasonal cold, though many breeds have been obtained in trade.
Horses- (the small, three toed kind) They are of secondary importance to cattle in terms of livestock, used for meat, wool, and milk.
Taarn- a type of pheasant native to the region that has been domesticated for meat, fares best in river valleys.
Honey- Beekeeping is a well established practice, and honey is the sweetener of choice and highly valued. Bee larvae are also sometimes roasted and eaten.
Bread- made with wheat, amaranth, or barley flower (or all three), a part of most meals. A type of flatbread is used as a base to scoop up other parts of the meal.
Wild game:
gazelle, antelope, hippegalga, and deer.
aurochs (sometimes found in the low river valleys and foothills)
crocodiles (mainly found in the Erubin river valley)
ducks and geese
unkata (a genera of cassowary sized flightless birds, a smaller subspecies of which can be found here as a grazer)
grynaig (a native species of pidgeon which nests among boulders)
piispiispi (a lagomorph that can be found at high altitudes, somewhat resembles a marmot. The name is onomatopoeia based on their shrill calls)
fish (especially trout), frogs, freshwater mussels, and crayfish from the rivers.
Native fruits: wild plum, dirrucag (a shrub that produces small fruits, roughly comparable to autumn olive), wild rose hips (used for tea and jams).
Other vegetables (cultivated and wild): cabbage, onions, garlic, carrots, rapeseed, peas, wild amaranth, mustard greens, nettles (the latter two also being regionally unknown and likely brought in the original migration).
Herbs/spices: relatively few spices are natively produced. Fennel is reliably grown. A type of sumac can be obtained in the river valleys, and a couple native sages and mints can be found throughout the region.
Alcohol: murre (a relatively strong (8-10% abv) alcoholic beverage made with fermented fruit and horsemilk), mead, kulys wine, and a few wheat and barley ales.
Teas/non-alcoholic beverages:
-Kulys flower tea (a mildly sweet herbal tea with nuanced, delicate flavors, usually consumed on its own without a meal)
-Brolge tea (a bitter tea made with the brulge leaf, which has a mild stimulant effect (comparable to coca in composition, but a different kind of plant) and is often consumed in the mornings. (This plant is known as bruljenum in Imperial Wardin))
-Floral tea (tea made with a variety of edible wildflowers, with plum and rose flower being especially favored, and rosehips added for tartness. Often served with milk)
-Nettle tea (favored as a soothing evening tea for its rich, earthy flavor)
-Mint tea (it's mint tea)
-Roasted barley tea (an everyday staple, often taken with milk or butter and honey, or mixed with herbal ingredients).
-Honey-garlic tea (usually uses roasted barley as a base, boiled together with garlic that has been fermented with honey. Preferred by herders for a warming effect on cold nights).
-Green tea (the preferred untreated variant of imported tea leaves)
-Fermented tea (a combination of imported tea leaves and a native preference for fermentation)
-A sour fermented horsemilk beverage, best taken with salt and/or honey.
-a fermented cowsmilk and yogurt beverage, taken with mint.
-A beverage made with mead, extra honey, hot peppers, and chopped garlic boiled together. Consumed for its warming qualities and to treat colds.
Examples of Dishes:
-flatbread (the base of most meals, made with wheat, barley, and/or amaranth flour. Assume that most non-grain based foods described here are served along or atop it)
-a spicy yogurt sauce made with finely chopped hot peppers, sometimes garlic
-a sour yogurt sauce made with sage, mint, or fennel.
-A type of thick dumpling, stuffed with a variety of foods (beef or horse, wild game, onions, fennel, magah, cheese, etc) and used as a common element of meals. Most comparable in shape to a pierogi.
-fried or baked dough balls with cheese and herbs
-taarn pheasant with a butter and plum or dirrucag sauce.
-beef stock soup with dumplings, onion, and curd cheeses
-beef or horse tartare with melted butter. Sometimes eaten on its own, sometimes sprinkled with herbs or topped in a spicy yogurt sauce.
-wheat or barley porridge with milk, yogurt, or butter, sometimes sweetened with honey.
-broth made with beef trotters and lightly flavored with herbs, often used as a base for other dishes but usually sipped.
-savory barley porridge cooked in beef or horse stock (often as a base for meat dishes)
-cheese, beer, and meat stock soup, often with peas, onions, magah, barley, and/or amaranth.
-yogurt, mint and fennel soup
-plain yogurt with mint and honey
-a mildly sweet porridge made with mashed squash, barley, and milk
-sweet snacks made with amaranth seeds, honey, and dried fruit.
-piispiispi stuffed with herbs and onions and roasted
-mashed magah, basic dish of thoroughly cooked magah, mashed with butter, cream, or yogurt.
-boiled, minced magah with minced meat, mild peppers, and fennel, best topped with a sour yogurt sauce.
-mustard and other wild greens, usually cooked down with butter or beef fat and mixed with onions
-an absolute litany of cheeses, often made with delicate herbs or strong peppers. Soft cheeses are generally favored and most widely used in cooking, hard cheeses are eaten on the go.
-Beef or horse testicles, usually cooked in a butter sauce as part of a larger meal. (most commonly obtained as a byproduct of gelding, in which case it is thought to uniquely boost fertility in ways that testicles obtained in slaughter do not)
-a mild pastry stuffed with soft cheese and topped with honey
-a nettle soup and onion soup, best taken in a fish or shellfish broth for enhanced umami flavor.
-Cow head that has been de-haired and de-brained, smoked, and slowly cooked with herbs and vegetables until tender. This is eaten at wedding celebration- the husband's family will have slaughtered the cow as a bride price. The husband and wife are given the choice, fatty cuts, the marrying families share the rest of the meat, and the broth is sipped by all guests.
-cow or horse brain, minced and fried in butter with onions and served atop mashed magah.
-blood sausage, with grain or magah and wild onions for filler.
-a spicy soup or stew made with boiled crayfish, onion, hot peppers, and cream.
-smoked trout with honey
-roasted honeycomb with larvae
#Give it up for: Another food post!!!!!!!!!#A lot of these dishes would be more of an occasional thing rather than everyday meals fyi#I snuck a less horrific variant of my evil hot toddy recipe in here. This is the established culture that would most appreciate the concept#Unfortunately there is no lore friendly Fireball#Also I came up with the honeycomb with larvae as just. a likely way to eat bee larvae? And then googled it and it's real.#Grilled as street food in Laos/Cambodia/Thailand. And oh my god it looks so fucking good like apparently the larvae have kind of a#light honey/nutty flavor and everything. Which sounds like it would be amazing with honeycomb .
