Pemmican (Canada)

Image
Pemmican is a traditional food made and consumed by Canada's indigenous peoples for centuries. This unique dish is prepared by drying and grinding meat and then mixing it with animal fat. Sometimes wild berries are also added to this mixture, which adds a sweet touch to pemmican. The history of Pemmican dates back to the hunter-gatherer lifestyles of the indigenous peoples of North America. These people invented pemmican to make the most of the animals they hunted without wasting them and to preserve them for a long time.

Culturally, pemmican is not only a food item for indigenous communities, but also a symbol of survival, sustainability, and living in harmony with nature.

Phall ( UK )

Phall is known to many people as the spiciest dish in British Indian cuisine. However, in fact, this unique dish is quite different from traditional Indian dishes and has become popular in England, especially in Birmingham. Phall has its origins in the British love of Indian food, but the dish has no analogues in India. The British took their interest in Indian food one step further and developed a more spicy and hot dish to suit their own tastes. In this context, Phall emerges as a unique fusion of British and Indian culinary cultures. Culturally, Phall is a reflection of the British love of curry culture. There are curry houses all over the country, and these restaurants usually serve Phall as the spiciest dish. So much so that many restaurants and pubs challenge customers to try Phall, and these challenges have become a popular activity. Phall's unique feature is definitely its bitterness. It is usually prepared with a combination of scorpion pepper, ghost pepper, and other supe
