Chef Spins the Wheel to Cook a Random International Dish | A-Z Challenge: L

Sure, the chaos of pass it on and other videos is fun. But see Ben just knowing his game at every second of it, is like watching a genius work on a machine. Sublime

[@MrMinidanni]

As a Luxembourger and long time viewer I have been waiting for this moment since you posted the K video !

[@SortedFood]

Oooooh let us know what you think of this dish? Did we do it justice?

[@DaffyDucky1981]

@@SortedFood I am having mine straight out of the water and not fried in a pan. The pan is used to make a a cream bacon sauce that you pour over the Kniddelen. Other than that I would say spot on!!!!!

[@schnifi100]

@@SortedFood Hello as a fellow Luxembourger I have to say you got pretty close like 95% but it is often served with cream added to the lardons and maggi würze at the table so that you can add it for flavor, so often in fact that at every food stand where you get them they are served that way and I don't know them any other way

[@MrMinidanni]

@@SortedFood​​⁠​⁠​⁠You did great, and yeah when we eat Kniddelen it’s mostly at the Christmas market with some Glühwäin or Glühcider. I like adding a dollop of crème fraîche at the end as there isnt enough fat in the recipe🤣 There are other specialities like Feierstengzalot and Judd mat gaardenbounen I would have loved to see.

[@TheCloudhopper]

@@MrMinidanni Glühcider? You have my absolute attention, do tell how to make that 😀

[@GaryKidd]

Chicken kelaguen is a dish that has captured the hearts of many. It's a national dish of Micronesia, often enjoyed at family gatherings and celebrations.

[@NykkiLaneLane]

In Hungary, we have a similar thing called nokedli. My grandmother always used a box grater. She's spoon the mixture into the middle of the box grater with the largest holes on the side facing down. Then she'd use the back of her spoon to rub back and forth so that the mixture would run out of the holes, portioning the nokedli into small dumplings. We'd use the in a creamy tomato soup as part of chicken paprikash or even just panfried in butter as a base of something we'd put a main dish on top of.

[@erzsebetkovacs2527]

Indeed. Nokedli is actually the Hungarian form of the Austrian word Nockerl, so the dish itself might have been common to all German-speaking areas in Europe.

[@NykkiLaneLane]

@@erzsebetkovacs2527 Yes, exactly. They look very similar and, I believe, have almost an identical recipe.

[@Rockancrime]

Hooray for new sorted! Love your work, peeps! Tried making pasta sauce with aqua faba tonight and worked a treat! Thanks for all the learnings!

[@SortedFood]

That's great to hear 👏

[@Beth11271]

I make something like this, but I use a rolled out dough that I cut into squares, like a Hungarian type slider noodle. I love how most of inner Europe have so many recipes in common.

[@daneekaplan4284]

My dad's family- who have sadly only my generation remains-eat what we call "pot pie" but is in fact flour, fat (vegetable shortening was always used but I bet lard would be good too) , and water rolled out thin and cut into squares and cooked in broth. My dad's family comes from England. I can trace his family back to 1620 in the US and that man came from England to New England. I have no idea where this recipe came from but it's was dad's absolute favorite so we always had it on his birthday and family get togethers. Probably would have been our Christmas dinner but his birthday is the next day so we had something else.

[@Beth11271]

@@daneekaplan4284 I have a similar linage. My cousin traced half our family (dad's side) from France to England in 1066, then 1670 to America (Detroit area). My great great grand father came from Kent in 1892. My mothers side is Hungarian and Greek, arriving to America in 1890's. I have a book of Hungarian recipes from my great grand mother. My mother would make the noodles I mentioned above in a chicken stock, and serve with salt and pepper. Such a delicious comfort food that has lasted generations.

I first visited (Northern) Germany in 1991, and in a VERY cigarette-smoke-filled pub had a most memorable meal: Spätzle that had been pan-fried and topped with chopped green onions and a wee bit of Speck, served with of course, local beer. Loved it so much for the simplicity and frugality (North German, after all) that I bought a Spätzle press that I still use to this day. Now living in the aforementioned Northern Germany 30+ years later, still enjoying “Spätzle mit Speck und Frühlingszwiebeln” - among other delicious simple and frugal meals - thankfully without the cigarette smoke 😉. Thanks, guys, for all you do, including for me, a trip down memory lane 😊.

[@darknessblades]

For "The Netherlands", I got a few suggestions from cookies, soup and even deserts/cake Cookies: -stroopwafels Soup: erwtensoep Main course -Hachee [with smooth mashed potato-puree] desert: -Hangop Cake: -Arretjescake I would suggest to make the "Hangop" in the background as its the easiest to make out of all things, as it requires little to no effort.

[@kjeleharrison3249]

I have a family recipe called Milk Clice, which combines eggs and flour to make the dough, drop in teaspoon size blobs, cook in boiling water, drain, return to the pot, and add milk and butter. Heat through, but do not boil, and eat it as a soup with bread. It is a wonderfully comforting dish that I actually planned to make this weekend. The women of my family love this, but the men prefer the dumplings in chicken soup, so we always make two pots and everyone is happy.

[@Nastyhoops]

This is sort of reminiscent of someone who is playing guitar as a hobby, or is an aspiring musician, and they are playing along to a song off a record, and they are trying to decipher what the guitarist on the record is doing. This is a very similar theme to other European countries that have dumplings of some type. Bacon is one thing that is used to finish them off. I know that's common for pierogi. This series is a lot of fun. Cheers! ✌️

You're right on your comparison.... very similar in the technique of deciphering!

@@SortedFood 1.Pastizzi are the quintessential street food of the people. The original choice flavours were ricotta or lime a curried mushy pea in like a puff pastry made with animal fats. Nowadays, They're changing the game with new flavours like chicken or Nutella. 2. Imqarrun: basically a baked pasta dish, commonly using either tortiglioni or Rigatoni in a Bolognese style sauce. 3.Fried Rabbit in garlic and wine is always loved especially on a Sunday at grandma's house 4.Kawlata is a traditional soup made with cabbage and pork. We call it a soup but it can resemble the texture of stew almost due to the collagen in the pig trotters thickening the broth. 5.Imqaret and Qaghaq tal ghasel. Imqaret consist of date filling in a dough similar to cannoli and deep fried. Commonly served piping hot with a side of gelato tan nanna(condensed milk, cinnamon, nuts and candied peel) Qaghaq tal ghasel are these beautiful rings of pastry stuffed with a mixture of honey or treacle, star abuse, cloves and allspice. Looking forward to seeing if this helps

Not from, but been. You HAVE to cook with Screw Pine. I don’t think I ate anything there that, that wasn’t served with or in. Pork I remember being the meat of choice! But remember POKE is huge in the region due to proximity and influence to Hawaii :) good luck guys ❤

[@ThreadbareInc]

Those look like the dumplings my family made for chicken and dumplings, although we preferred them bigger and lumpier. No need to season the dumplings when they absorb the flavors of whatever you put them in, which in our case was chicken stock. But as an American with a few different heritages, I have no idea what part of Europe the recipe was from.

National dish of Micronesia is chicken kelaguen. It’s really good.

[@ElliottRodgers]

Fascinating... 😋🇱🇺

[@davidcy1121]

Chicken Kelaguen: Chicken kelaguen is a beloved dish in Micronesia. The traditional preparation involves grilling or smoking chicken, then shredding it and combining it with lemon juice, onions, and local spices. The result is a tangy and flavorful dish that showcases the fusion of local and international influences in Micronesian cuisine. Octopus Soup: Octopus soup, or “kelemwoon” in the local language, is a traditional Micronesian delicacy. The tender octopus is simmered in a flavorful broth infused with herbs, spices, and sometimes coconut milk. The soup is often served with vegetables and provides a comforting and hearty meal option. Banana Pok: Banana pok is a traditional Micronesian dessert made with ripe bananas. The fruit is mashed and mixed with coconut milk, sugar, and sometimes tapioca pearls. This sweet treat offers a delightful combination of creamy, fruity, and tropical flavors.
