cooking
i've been wanting to cook more again, i don't cook as often as when i was dorming. i also want to try cooking new things! i'm kinda tired of eating the same things every other week.
recently i made reunionese sausage rougail! a friend commissioned me to draw his oc with reunionese bonbons miel, a fried pastry glazed with honey (wikipedia link). they kind of look like donuts! i'd never heard of reunionese food so i went to read more about it, out of curiosity. and sausage rougail immediately caught my eye. because, well, i'm a sucker for tomatoes.
my reunionese sausage rougail, still simmering in a pot.
it was really simple to make! i used recipes from reunion island's tourism website and this recipe from michel dumas (i showed my girlfriend the latter and she translated the first two sentences of the 'about' sidebar - she's impressively retained a good amount of her high school french!) for substitutions, i followed the latter - cayenne powder in place of chili and canned tomatoes in place of fresh. i forgot what sausages i used, but it was the only french sausages available at the supermarket. even so, it was soooooo good. tomatoes and sausage with rice i can definitely imagine this being comfort food. i'm considering regularly buying sausages so i can make this for myself.
i also made a post on bluesky a while back asking for recipes, and i've tried like. one of them so far LOL. it was a pad thai recipe by recipetineats, it was good! a bit dry, but i could only find flat rice noodles (which are better used for pad see ew) and too much beansprouts (its okay though i like beansprouts).
i asked another friend, who's from brazil, for his favorite food and he told me about bejinho and brigadeiro, and also tutu. he's also mentioned couve to me once, so i'm probably gonna try that next!
PLEASEEEEEEEEE send me your favorite foods from your cultures! if you have a recipe, that'd be great, but i can handle the recipe finding! if there are any variations between your dish an another country's version of it also let me know. travel is expensive and i want to eat new things. please answer this google form
