Gibraltar

Image
This British Overseas Territory at the tip of Spain makes no sense, except that it just may have helped win WWII. I found an Italian pasta dish with the most British flavors. No herbs! For some reason it is very popular in Gibraltar. It was not bad. 10/21 21

Falkland Islands

Image
They eat a lot of lamb here, but I found a recipe for sea trout with an oatmeal gremolata (kind of) and it was delicious. 10/20/21

Iceland

Image
Rye bread -- easy and delicious. 10/20/21

New Caledonia

Image
This is a French territory in the South Pacific. Glad to have some French flavors here!  10/11/21 

Iran

Image
Iran is so much different than I expected. Like their northwestern neighbors, they are big on sour flavors. This chicken kabab was outstanding.  10/19/21

Fiji

A curry with very interesting ingredients -- tells the story of Fiji's colonization. Lots of Indian influences here. 10/18/21

Provence, France

Image
Chicken fricassee with garlic (with pasta instead of potatoes) 10/12/21

Christmas Islands

Image
Another island chain northwest of Australia. I didn't like this curry so much and making the roti canai nearly made me cry. 10/06/21

Niue

Image
I try not to bake many desserts for this project, but I couldn't face another savory South Pacific main course. This coconut bread is delicious.  10/05/21

Tahiti

Image
I've been interested in shrimp with a vanilla sauce for a while but this was not great.  10/05/21

Aruba

Image
I've been to Aruba, but I don't remember the food at all. This was keshi yena, and it was pretty good. 09/26/21 

Antartica

Image
Any excuse to eat lobster tails. So good. 10/01/21 

Barbados

Image
Chicken with brown sauce. Very weird nearly-burned sugar sauce. I don't think I did it justice.  10/04/21

Cocos Islands

Image
Chicken begana was fine but the dinner chat was first rate. Cocos (Keeling) Islands have a fascinating history.  09/29/21

Cook Islands

Image
Kind of bland chicken noodle dish.  09/28/21

Armenia

Image
Mushroom pilaf.  09/27/21

Faroe Islands

Image
I had never heard of this country, which is an archipelago between Iceland, the UK, and Norway. It's technically part of Denmark. Made a hazelnut oatcake. 09/24/21

Greenland

Image
Meat and barley soup, with beef instead of reindeer.  09/23/21

Dominica

Caribbean reef chicken. Dominica is not the island where so many baseball players come from.  09/22/21

North Carolina

Image
Pulled chicken. 09/21/21

Egypt

Not a looker, but wow so tasty. Circassian-style chicken in walnut sauce.  09/19/21

Georgia and South Carolina

Image
I was totally intimidated, but I made fried chicken and it was incredible. Messy, but great. Also, collard greens and cornbread. 09/16/21
