Gado gado -- a delicious, satisfying dish that is vegetarian and high protein. (My family is from Indonesia.)

So, I just called a restaurant and they don't have it. Can you recommend a restaurant that has this dish? I am in MoCo.

Jucy Lucy from Matt’s Bar! The cheese between two hot griddled patties..... so good.

And hardanger lefse: https://cafejohnsonia.com/2012/12/norwegian-hardanger-lefse-recipe-christmas.html I should be representing the more typical potato lefse, but it’s hard to make at home and few storebought ones taste decent.

And cucumbers in sour cream over boiled potatoes. I may as well be eating summer.

Agreed! It’s so, so good. I recently learned how to make it, but have yet to find the proper picked cabbage here.

Do you mean pickled? I'm not sure about that ingredient but Thais use pickled turnip in things like Pad Thai. You can get that and any other Thai ingredient at Bangkok54 on Columbia Pike in Arlington. I go all the time and can also vouch for the take away food on the hot bar.

Sorry, I meant pickled radish.

I just googled it! Looks great. Does Thai cuisine use dairy in their sauces, do you know? One of my favorite dishes I recently discovered is from Noodles and Co. Pad Thai!

If you like Noodles and Co's version, go to a real Thai restaurant and have it sometime.

I would have said flat midwestern, but I looked it up and it’s Polish in origin (makes sense - that’s my ancestry). It’s so good. Although probably not this time of year what with how cucumbers taste.

I know Gado gado and have eaten it many times. Married to a Dutch person so they like Indonesian food a lot. We live about 90 minutes from the nearest Indonesian restaurant and so it’s a special treat. My favorite dish is sayur lodeh with house made tempeh.

My spouse makes kaas croquettes which when you translate from Dutch seem like they’re similar to mozzarella sticks but they’re not. They’re so much better.

Hoppers, also known as Appam. I’m South Indian, and these are found in South India and Sri Lanka. Bowl-shaped rice crepe eaten with spicy coconut based curries.

Thanks for this! I never heard of it before and I need wheat and dairy free recipes!

String hoppers are also delicious. I loved them for breakfast with spicy vegetable kurma at our home stay in Kerala.

Malawach is a staple at our house. I can and have made the dough myself but most of the time I buy the frozen stuff, which is increasingly available outside of kosher grocery stores. I serve it much like taco night, with lots of fillings for folks to choose.
