Foie Gras
Typically a French delicacy, but enjoyed in many Western European nations, foie gras is a paté made from either duck or goose liver. Essentially, it’s a paste or spread cooked from a very fatty liver, which goes through alterations of heating and cooling before being served.
Classic recipes call for herbs de provence (French herbs) and are cooked in both milk and port.
Soft Tofu Soup
Traditional soft tofu soup involves a custardy tofu cooked with hot pepper paste and vegetables. It’s served boiling hot and a fresh egg is cracked directly into the soup at the table.
Additional toppings such as kimchi can be added, as well as meats such as pork, seafood or bulgogi beef. Once the egg has cooked, rice is added and everything is eaten altogether as an appetizer or main meal.
Fall is a great time of year to travel with fewer crowds, beautiful scenery and cheaper prices. Here are some of the best places to travel in October.
Rellenong Pusit
In the Philippines, rellenong pusit, or stuffed squid, is typically enjoyed with family as it’s cooked outside on a grill. To prepare it, the squid is first marinated in a combination of soy sauce, sugar, calamansi lime and peppercorns.
For the stuffing, pork or other meat is included along with a tomato, onion, fish sauce and a breadcrumb mixture. Once grilled to perfection, it’s sliced up and served with dipping sauce.
