Chicken and Waffles is delicious. Maybe topped with a bit of white gravy and some grits to side. Mm! Dang good!
But grits are made from corn? ETA: Also wouldn't feed them to my dog. I also wouldn't feed waffles or fried chicken to my dog either due to the facts that he either wouldn't eat it, would probably choke on a bone, and I would much prefer to eat them myself. God invented dog food for a reason, after all.
Oh god no. I did a semester in Istanbul, and the student cafeteria served kofte like every other day. That was twenty years ago and the idea of eating them again still gives me shivers, and not the good kind.... Iskender kebap, regular doner kebap, tavuk sis, whatever, just no more lamb kofte...
So for young folks explaining the grits is the South and the North is mainly for coffee shops and a telephone in your face?
Hmm - I see your issue. How about if I called them mici (v.popular Romanian dish) only served with chilli sauce and a garlic yoghurt? (I confess to having had a weird kind of weekend whereby I got mealtimes all wrong so I was VERY hungry and the kebas were ****ing amazing!)
I like to think of @Iain experiencing one of those vomitous moments on a daily basis. I had it once in a woman's house with hot dogs and doberman pinchers everywhere on her sofas, but suffering every day would be like top school of rock [modern]. The stew, the goulash in Slovakia at the academy was delicious and some of my best fantasies 'going forward' involve kebab and roasting and pitta breads and sucking the juices. I'm definitely for Turkish immersion.
Kofte Kebab (Koobideh Kebab) is an traditional Iranian food and is very delicious. The tourists who travel to Iran taste this excellent food. I myself love it very much and have it with grilled tomato, vegetable ( especially basil and small red radish), pickle and fresh bread. We sometimes serve it with cooked rice. Kofte and Koobideh both does mean mashed. Of course Kofte is not a type of Kebab. It is the same mashed meat with some spices that are shaped like small balls.The number of Koftes are fried in vegetable oil and then is added to a type of delicious soup. Koobideh kebab before grilling After grilling ] Kofte before frying and cooking After cooking A type of traditional Iranian bread that is is suitable for koobideh kebab. This bread is cooked on the pebbles.
I reckon varieties are available all over the Levant. Mine came from Surrey... served with roasted red onions, peppers, cherry tomatoes, and a bit of couscous (also from Surrey... Sainsbury's to be precise...)
They seem nice enough in a Chertsey kind of fashion. I'm sure you've faced many times the accusation re the resemblance and morning after.
that was a response to Kofte is not a type of kebab... not in Iran may be, but it is in Turkey (and various other levantine countries)
Of course Turkish may have a food similar to Iranian Kofte, as a group of Iranian people in the north (their language is similar to Turkish relatively) have a special big Kofte that is very delicious as well. It is called "Tabrizi Kofte". Tabriz is a city in the north of Iran in neighborhood of Turkish and Azerbaijan. The language of these three areas is similar partially: Tabrizi Kofte
Well if you're right then heaven is a well-grilled turd. The best kebab shop in the world is in Chertsey! My death row meal is a chicken shish from the flaming grill...
I used to get excited about the place in K-town, spent my 30th birthday in that kebab shop restaurant. I would go again. I still haven't found the manageable fast food of the North. Fish & chips is mighty of course but nothing else as yet. And the North doesn't have ye olde rustic, fat popping sausages from your rural butcher. Like a 'thing,' same as dayglo cheddar in Scotland. But no poshos' sausages are available. You can't ask either, they like their bangers regimental. When I say 'they,' I mean 'we.'
