Hey guys! This week’s Worry Free blog will be centered around different meals in different countries. If I didn’t have to worry about time or money, something I would want to try is to try traditional meals in different countries. Let’s get started.

India: Masala Dosa

This looks extremely delicious because it has a thin crepe-like bread along with other sides that you can dip it in. Anything bread-like is automatically something that I would find delicious. The different sides/dips that can come on the side include Chutney sauce and Sambar. There’s a lot of variety and flexibility that can come with this dish, so if I ever get the chance to visit South India, I’ll be on the lookout for this.

Japan: Sushi

Believe it or not, I’ve never had real sushi in my life. If I were to go to Japan, fresh sushi made by a real sushi chef is hands down a must. The sushi that many restaurants serve include Salmon, Tuna, Yellowtail, and many more. Tons of options and flavors to choose from.

Middle East: Fattoush

This looks like the better version of the American salad. With tons of fresh vegetables and leaves, this traditional middle eastern salad is different because it has a flatbread base. I could use some more healthy foods like this in my diet!

England: A Full English Breakfast

Though this breakfast has some similar aspects to an American breakfast, there’s a lot more diversity in terms of sweet vs. salty. An English breakfast typically contains sausage, bacon, sweet beans, eggs, and mushrooms. Typically, this meal is paired with a coffee or tea. Sure, it may sound typical, but I hear that it’s one of the best things in England you can ever have.

Uganda: Luwombo

I found this meal interesting because it’s served in bowl-shaped banana leaves. Drawing a parallel to Asian cuisine, there’s a food called glutinous rice that’s also wrapped in bamboo leaves. Anyway, Luwombo is essentially a stew that can have any type of meat or fish. There are steamed vegetables in the soup as well. A very homey meal, something that I would crave on a cold winter day.

Vietnam: Banh Xeo

This crispy pancake is guaranteed to satisfy your cravings in that it’s both salty and sweet. The egg pancake on the outside is made of rice flour and coconut milk giving it a slight hint of sweetness. Inside, you can find different arrangements of vegetables and meat. There is also a special sauce that you can dip it in that tops it all off. I’ve had this in the U.S. but I know it can’t compare to if I were to have it in Vietnam!

If you didn’t have to worry about time or money, where would you travel to and what meal would you like to have?
