For the most part, writing for The Tribudishional Food Blog takes a lot of organisation. There’s the initial search for out-of-place menu items and the weighing up of prices (yes, even I have a...
When I describe The Tribudishional Food Blog to people for the first time, I’ve found the conversation almost always follows the same pattern: an explanation of the idea behind it (i.e...
You might have to squint to spot it, but yes, this is Rösti in a Waitrose Café. It’s a potato-based breakfast dish, considered to be one of Switzerland’s national dishes, and as the...
OK, I’m pretty excited about this one. This post marks the first Tribudishional review outside the UK – and hopefully by no means the last. Tuna Tataki is a traditional Japanese dish, made...
I see the process of searching for Tribudishional dishes to be the ultimate treasure hunt; it’s not often you get lucky when scouring menus for food-tributes, but when you do, the reward is...
A while ago, I remember reading J. Kenji López-Alt’s Serious Eats article on the Turkish scrambled egg dish Menemen, with a big smile on my face. Not solely because of his humour (comparing the...
It’s getting to that time of the year again; festive spirit begins to grow, Christmas songs get radio air time, and markets start popping up left-right-and-centre. Distinctive smells waft...
No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. This really is a Shakshuka in a Tesco Superstore Café. Taking pride of place on the menu, this Maghrebi dish is as delicious as it is distinctive. Eggs are...
Ah, the Full English Breakfast. I must admit, I’d been holding out on reviewing this dish until I found it in the unlikeliest of places. My local pub simply won’t do you see, nor the...
If I had to pick a sandwich to eat on repeat, the Bánh Mì would probably be it. This Vietnamese classic is a firm favourite of many, and with bright, punchy fillings stuffed inside a crusty baguette...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
It’s likely that when you read “Key Lime Pie”, an image pops into your head of a fluorescent green pudding, topped with great daubs of whipped cream. Well that’s exactly what I...
Ah, the Mexican classic. Served all over the USA, Europe, and indeed Mexico, the humble taco is a street food staple, and comes in many variations. But it’s not often you find them in your local...
Hold on a second, a Kastu Curry… at Wetherspoons? The same Wetherspoons that serves up cheap pints and pub classics? The same English pub chain that’s found in almost every UK town? ...
