    Bho ko - a spicy Vietnamese beef stew - immediately comes to mind for me. It’s savory, hearty, fragrant. Has a touch of sweet. Great mix of eastern and western ingredients so it’s familiar and comforting on many levels. A Vietnamese friend of mine made it for a dinner party a few years back and it set off the cravings.

    I like mine without noodles, and instead with toasted french bread for dipping.

    Besides the aforementioned grilled cheese, I love a hearty borscht.

    I learned to make home made chicken soup from scratch a while back and it’s the best. Lots of work, but worth it, especially when it’s cold or rainy.

    The secret is adding chicken feet (about 1 lb per ~1.75 gallons of water) to the broth. It adds so much collagen, the soup is thick and delicious.

    I like to also add parsley, carrot tops, a bay leaf, and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with roasted chicken bones to the broth as well. Pressure cook for an hour, or simmer for a day.

    Strain the broth, add yukon potatoes, carrots, chopped onions, garlic, rosemary, thyme, sage, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper. Pressure cook for another hour or simmer for two (or until potatoes are soft…).

    Once done, add roasted chicken meat, and lightly simmer with fresh mushrooms and slowly whisk an egg in. Serve over cooked quinoa, topped with freshly chopped basil, cilantro, and/or green onions.

    Obviously… I love this meal.

    In Mazatlan, Mexico, a beach in the mexican northern pacific, when it’s rainy, we eat a sort of thin pancakes, a bit thicker than a crepe, called kekis, a short term for pancakes, that instead of being presented as a normal pancake, they are rolled like a burrito. We put some honey, maple syrup, or plenty of sugar on top.

        What a horrifying name, when viewed as a compound word. Thankfully, it seems to be a germanicization of palačinka.

          Yea a friend really likes it. I think the big stores carry it too but for sure smaller independent ones do in the city
