little house on the praire

Going to a posh pub and having either scampi in a basket or chicken in a basket.

Also what was the first "foreign,"food you had?.

I remember a lad taking me for scampi and chips, well before pubs served food.

First "foreign,"food I had was Chinese. There was a Chinese in my town and sometimes my dad would bring one home and I was allowed to get up and have a bit. zid be 7/8

Mine was kebab. Something so exciting about sliced meat in a pitta bread with a slice of lemon. Still love a dirty kebab after a mad sesh

Probably curry goat with rice and peas. Still one of my favourite take aways.

My mum & dad were from other countries so i had tried varied food early on.

My diet is quite simple these days though.

I wish there were more Mexican restaurants here, like there are in U.S.

(My mum & dad weren't mexican, I just love mexican food.)

First foreign food I had was probably Chinese, or curry, but in another country it was paella

Somewhere In The Ether…

I believe the first foreign food I tried was Indian; Onion Bhajis to be precise, when I was a child.

I’ve been hooked ever since 😃

All over

My first curry experience did not go well at all and nearly put me off that sort of food for good. Still not a big fan but probably because of memories of that.

Manchester

I grew up in one of the most diverse areas of Manchester so I think "foreign" food was always part of my diet and my mum was always quite adventurous with what we ate so I don't really remember a first time that stands out.

North Yorkshire

My mum cooked lots of very unusual things for a British white woman from North Yorkshire. I grew up on a diet of Jamaican rice and peas, plantain curry, and various lentil based dishes.

As an adult, I've come to realise she'd never tasted the real things before attempting the recipes herself, bless her...
