    The past 10-15 years the number of different cuisines you can now just buy ingredients for has just become so diverse. I remember when I first tried Adulting, if you wanted certain Chinese or Japanese ingredients you'd have to go to a specialty import shop! Nevermind a more obscure cuisine like Korean. 

    I recently became friends with some South Africans and they have quite the multicultural cuisine. Influences from Dutch, British, Indian and local cuisines. It's really interesting, makes me want to try more cuisines from the African continent which I feel are very underrepresented in the cooking world.

    I love African food, but like you say you can rarely get your hands on it. I can't think of any African restaurant, I think if someone built one over here it would do quite well.

    I have a family member who has been to Africa several times and they say the food is really nice. In traditional households they have some interesting manners as well, apparently you don't talk while eating, you do that before and after!

    Chinese food, not just the takeaway kind. Would have loved to have gone to Hong & China. Actually, most of East Asia.

    @JessieJ duck skin wraps (I can’t remember the proper name) are incredibly nice from Singapore apparently!!

    Oooh @66Mustang they sound right up my street, shame they're not! Crispy chicken skin wraps are good too. I'm actually having Peking duck for dinner tonight, minus the pancakes & sauce, sadly. On offer in Tesco with their card.

    Of course it's Italy and its pizza. The most delicious dish of all.

    My favourite is a roast with Yorkshire Puddings and plenty of veg. I like Chinese and Indian food but it does like me sadly. I have intolerance to certain ingredients.
