Walk around the streets of Vientiane, the Laotian capital, and it’s likely you’d find Laab – alternatively spelled larb or larp – on every menu. As the country’s national dish you’d expect nothing less, and tucking into laab (£12) at The Harley Café, Welbeck, I could easily see why this meal has such a high […]

The city of New York is famous for a lot of things: stunning architecture, big business, and of course, delicious food. There are plenty of iconic dishes that have become synonymous with the City of Dreams – from sloppy pizza slices, to puffy bagels – but the king of them all (at least in my

OK, so what’s a Chicken Chow Mein doing on The Tribudishional Food Blog? Granted, it’s a pretty common dish, and probably graces the menu of your local Chinese takeaway. It might even be your go-to meal when you have a takeout – it’s certainly one of mine. But that’s just it… Sherwood’s Orchid Cafe isn’t

Right off the bat, I’m sure you have many questions. What’s a Croque Madame? Why is there a shipping port in the background of this photo? Why, of all places, Felixstowe? I can assure you, all will be answered in good time. For now let’s start with the first point. The little-known partner to the

It’s safe to say that Tres Leches Cake is the most well-named dessert out there. There’s no beating about the bush here; the title translates to ‘three milks’, a perfectly succinct description of the cake’s star ingredients: evaporated milk, condensed milk and whole milk. That’s bad news for those who aren’t a fan of milk.

A hearty stew is probably what first comes to mind when you hear the pub name ‘Friar Tuck’. Most likely a heavy British one too, complete with root vegetables, stodgy dumplings and tough meat. Whatever the case, it won’t be the classic Jamaican stew I found in this otherwise unassuming Nottingham tavern. Brown Stew Chicken

Wondering around the pretty Suffolk village of Framlingham, marvelling at the rows of idyllic cottages, and on the whole feeling rather English, the last thing I expected was for my taste buds to be transported to Portugal. Yet tucking into a Bitoque in The Common Room Cafe, I could easily have been in the Portuguese

Envisage a golden-coloured patty, shaped somewhat like an English muffin, and you’ve got yourself an Arepa. Now picture this in a chocolate shop in Ipswich. Harder to do I’m sure. Well I had a difficult time trying to do just that, but Bonbon Chocolate’s Chicken and Aioli Arepa delivered on taste, texture, and to some

When a friend recommended I try the Moussaka at The Bread and Bitter pub in Mapperley, Nottingham, I was both visibly excited, and profoundly intrigued. I’d trawled through too many pub menus to keep count of, seeing the usual burger-and-chips pub grub, and Castle Rock Brewery’s menus had so far disappointed. Yet here it was,

Picture the menu at your typical workaday cafe. There’s probably going to be a Full English, bacon sandwich, the odd panini… but Beef Stroganoff? That’s fancy restaurant material, surely? Let’s see how the stroganoff at The Avenues Cafe in Nottingham fared. The makeup of this classic Russian dish is fairly simple: sautéed pieces of beef
