The Texas BBQ Forum

You guys keep posting and talking about seafood lately, so I was out for dinner with our dinner club group last night, a bunch of us go to different restaurants on the first wed of the month, we get turns to choose, well last night we had a Thai restaurant, I would normally have the chicken satay, but my mind was corrupted with a picture of the prawn pad Thai. I've been hanging out for prawns so I ordered that. It was the best meal I've had in 2 or 3 years, I'm definitely going back. Do you guys go to different ethnic restaurants? Next month we are going to a Persian place. We've been doing this for 6 years. The prawns were massive and sweet as. Hunger satisfied.

In my world, it's limited to Chinese, Mex, Tex Mex, Southern or Cajun - - - if you can call those Ethnics ?

Had my first Bahn Mi a week or so ago…I really enjoyed it. I try to mix in something different occasionally.

In addition to this OUP mentioned on the regular rotation we do some Cuban and Thai.

Hmmm Cuban, that place has always fascinated me with their American V8s,lol. What sort do you like with a Cuban flavour,? I've never thought about their cuisine and I don't think Andrew zimmern has done Cuba ??

We are kinda Cuban Sandwich junkies. If we are at a Cuban restaurant for dinner I usually go with Ropa Vieja.

Oh...here in Italy the king of the ethnic is japan food at the moment (sushi, sashimi, tempura...)
For the rest there aren't many available choice a part kebab and chinese but they're anything's special in my opinion....
So..no I usually don't go to ethnic restaurant, but fortunately Italy is done by a lot of different regions and each one has his traditional food (often very different from the others), and is easy drive from a region to an other so you have the possibility to eat different Italian traditional food like if it would be from a different country

Tasso I cook Italian as my kids and grand kids just love pasta, wife recently bought me a pasta maker, havnt used it yet, but it's on the list, my daughters spent time in Japan and cooked it for Mother's Day. The vegetable omelette was amazing and the chicken in panko was beautiful as well.
