Welcome back to episode 2 of Veeky Forums's Amazing Race! Even though is still up, the bump limit limit is on death row. I'll make sure to preserve everyone's submissions when the thread gets deleted.
OP here- I decided to roll three times even though it breaks the rolls because after what I got, I want you guys to vote on how I suffer. I kid you not:
> Zambia > Burkina Faso > Niger

Jace Gomez
Are you doing a straw poll? If not, I choose Burkina Faso because it's the funniest sounding of the 3.
Jace Gonzalez
Zambia
John Jenkins
Zambia because we have enough people doing West Africa, assuming at least some of them deliver
Jeremiah King
I got Guyana, won't be able to post until Saturday though
Joshua Perez
Zambia it is.
Tyler Gonzalez
Rolled South Korea in the last bread. I've got until Sunday. Went full autismo today at the Asian market making sure the ground chile flakes were sourced from Korea, they're just fucking Chile flakes. Got some Kombu for broth, and some extra soft tofu among other things. Forgot a couple things (fucking rice) but I'll pick them up tomorrow. They have enough entire isle devoted to chile-sauce, but don't have shit for fresh garlic.
Gotta work on my truck tonight so I don't have time today, but I'll probably do the cookalong tomorrow.

Does that mean I'm making fish and chips, a sausage roll, Cornish pasty or..?

What kinds of things do you like and I'll give some suggestions.
I was thinking something Britishly foreign if that makes sense, like chips and curry sauce with a fish pie
Angel Scott
Not British roller but to what I know they usually dress fish and chips in vinegar, forgive my ignorance, but what if the whole focus was on the vinegar. Like a rosemary infused balsamic.
Fish pie with chips sounds like starch with starch and although here in Trumpland that's common, idk. good thinking though.
Xavier Sanchez
Literally never ate a fish pie in my life, unless it was an Admirals pie, but that's not really the same thing. With regards to curries, something like Tikka Masala or Korma maybe? Fairly mild curries of English origin, but can still be good if cooked right.
Personally I'd just do a roast of pork shoulder or lamb leg or something similar. Minimum effort and with good meat impossible to get wrong. Get your seasonings and herbs right and the meat does the work for you.
Levi Howard
Sounds good, I saw pork shoulder roasts are on special at the moment, I'll grab one after work. Might do some roast veggies and have a go at making elderflower infused apple sauce. I think the sauce would work as elderflower cider is delicious.
I agree about the vinegar. I'll try fish and chips another time and maybe infuse a vinegar then.
Ian Barnes
Personally, I pay it dry, score the skin and rub with salt, coat the meat (not the skin, that's for crackling) in crushed fennel seeds, garlic powder, pepper and salt and roast in the oven for 20-30 at a high heat to start the skin crisping and then turn down and roast for a few hours at 165c/325f. Either cut the skin with the slices of meat or remove whole and serve separately as crackling.
Also recommend a dessert, jam roly poly, custard tart, Eton mess, cranachan, loads of options out there. We're good at desserts.
Ryan Thompson
Don't really know what to make, this is really the only thing I could find. kiwifaves.co.nz/recipe/fijian-palau/ Guess I'll do that with some dragonfruit or something.
Landon Ramirez
Fish? Seems likely for an island nation.
Ooooo found this; >Fruit bat soup (whole fruit bat wings and head included cooked in a broth of coconut)
Oliver Thomas
What would be a substitute for fruit bat? Rabbit dyed black?
Adam Reyes
I rolled Mali and somewhat fortunately their food seems simple
Grayson Thompson
What's you planning on making? I got Senegal and there's some overlap there so I don't want to make the same thing.
Nathan Ward
Probably foufou and grilled chicken. I'll steer away from anything senegalese. I saw a recipe for a dessert that's just butter honey and sesame seeds and also might make that just because I have everything at home.
Adam Gomez
Honestly, how bad can a country that's by the ocean be?
Ayden Cooper
> when you're doing research, and a recipe calls for caterpillars in a non-joking way
Angel Perry
Trinidad and Tobago. I like fish, so this should be fun.
Asher Hill
meat pie?

Good chance a cook-along thread will happen today.
Jordan Flores
I was going to make a cook-along, but this ended up TOO easy. It's rapini, onion, tomato, garlic, eggplant, and lamb all cooking on the BBQ. Will post results.
Matthew Garcia
Got Papua New Guinea. Could be worse I guess. Any suggestions?
Thomas Scott
Pork (or, more preferably, some form of game meat) slow roasted over fire or underground with citrus flavoring.
Jackson Jackson
Reading around it seems the cuisine is mainly vegetarian and heavy on roots. Might do something like that.
Blake Lee
Zambia delivered. It may not get any Michelin stars, but it's a fun to make, fun to eat afternoon snack.

Aaron Parker
>tfw you were doing this to build up confidence to enter the Veeky Forums challenge but now the thread is gone
Colton Morales
I know right, they should make a new one. I hope
Christopher Hernandez
My thread series is just as good though, right?
John Flores
Stop begging for afformation.
Lucas Thompson
I'm guessing it was the rolling aspect, although they've done something like that in previous years. Mods might have been mad people were talking about actual cooking and not fast food.
Benjamin Nguyen
Ah. I wasn't aware that I had started. It was a thing called jokes
Levi King
I posted in the original thread a long time ago, I'm past my 7 days limit but I still want to make the dish from my country which was Guyana. I've just been really ill and kind of bedridden for a while.
So I just want you to know I didn't abandon the metemgee.
Zachary Hall
I got Israel. Gonna put my 20 percent Ashkenazi heritage to good use here.

Sundubu jjigae - South Korean soft tofu stew, delivered.
Robert Hill
Not really a fan of the whole scallion garnish but other wise looks great! Did you end up fermenting your own kimchi?
Levi Richardson
Thanks man
No I didn't, didn't use any either. I'll make make some eventually just been really busy.
Here's the photo setup lol.
Took pics of the cooking process so when I get time I'll make a cookalong.
Brayden Howard
Extremely tasty manifold. The lamb and rapini are actually a decent summer meal combo.

I'd help but I've got the next 5 (or 6?) days worth of meals planned. After that I might have a go.

I'm going to make some Budaatai Khuurga (pic related) I guess, or maybe flour soup. I will post a cook along if I have the time.

You have my attention

>flour soup I....I never want to eat this.
Tyler Scott
Why? They probably have the worst cuisine of any country in the world.

You're only proving my point
