[quote=Anonymous]In the interest of the Olympics starting, I thought I'd try to introduce the kids to a wider variety of foods.  We do the basics... Italian/Mexican/Irish/German/Chinese (e.g., lasagna, tacos, corned beef, sausage and sauerkraut, pork fried rice), but I'm hoping to branch out to new and unusual. :)

Tomorrow night will be beef stroganoff (Russian) in honor of the opening ceremonies.  I've also found some (what look to be) yummy Peruvian recipes.

I started poking around the internet and found a ton of possibilities, but I have no idea where to start. :)  So I thought I would poll the trusty DCUM site...  Any favorite recipes?  Or names foods in general (even if you have no idea how to make it, I can google!)?  How about tips to make a "better" common recipe?

I'm a pretty good chef (not ready for Top Chef or anything, but I can handle almost any technique in the kitchen), so no hold barred - whatcha got? :)

==================
I'll start:

St. Patty's day is coming up, so here's an IRISH Recipe:

Corned beef

Store bought corned beef with the seasoning packet is the way to go - it's a PITA to make your own seasoning, and I've never noticed a real difference.  The trick to an awesome meal is to put the meat in cold water to start out with.  Most recipes say put the meat in boiling water.  That's a serious[u] Don't!!!  [/u].  Starting the meat in boiling water seals the meat and won't let the flavor in as well.  Starting with cold water adds about an hour and change to the cooking time, but it makes a HUGE difference in flavor.  Trust me - totally worth the additional time![/quote]
