https://i.imgur.com/bg48ApD.mp4 On YouTube and Instagram, there are a shitload of videos of chefs at stalls or carts or whatever cooking and serving Foreign Delicacies. While some things like, say, doner kebab, pretty much always look amazing, I have found a lot of local dishes that confuse the hell out of me, or are just plain interesting. Here's one from Turkey, a dude making a big pot of çiğ köfte. Note that I will almost always post the mp4 with the sound so turn that on if you want to hear either weird loud foreign music or people speaking a language you don't know. https://i.imgur.com/QzhchkV.mp4 quote:In Turkish, çiğ means "raw" and köfte means meatball. So raw meat and bulgur and spices and stuff. I'd eat it, though I don't know how quickly you can cook raw ground meat with "spices and kneading". Here's a vendor giving it a final molesting before hand-squeezing it in to its distinctive.. hand squeeze shape, and served on lettuce to be eaten Cold. https://i.imgur.com/9wPPeGY.mp4 Figured I'd start off with one I've actually read up on, but there's definitely weirder stuff out there, check out this one also from Turkey that I've posted elsewhere: https://i.imgur.com/Xs772SG.mp4 post any unique or kool or strange street food videos here, no need to have any idea what's going on. with our powers combined we can surely figure out what any unidentified food substance is AARD VARKMAN fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Dec 23, 2022 |

Here's one from India. As far as I can find, "Unlimited Eggs" is a common thing in Surat, but I can't actually figure out what they mean by it. https://i.imgur.com/5XHwfEo.mp4 would this be delicious? i would guess... yes. I don't know if it needs 3 separate sauces but who am I to judge

My Armenian great-grandmother used to make something very similar when I was a kid that I can’t remember the name of and yeah it’s basically the heat from your hand and some form of acid that “cooks” the meat, although it’s more similar to the way citrus “cooks” the raw seafood in ceviche. Anyway it’s really tasty but I wouldn’t do it with grocery store ground meat.

I kinda like watching the seafood ones, which can be very interesting and weird, although it can be kinda gross to see the fish and various other creatures being cut up, sometimes killed on the spot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7xyVXmEr74 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOu8SEURbZ0 But the king and grossest of these videos is:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tohl-nFCugw

Soul Dentist posted:Can weird American foods count or is it limited to furrun treats? This thread's mostly foreign based since I've already gone through basically every weird American food imaginable in the Americana thread, but I don't object at all if it's interesting. I doubt I'll be finding or posting anything "new" on that front myself.

I'm thinking a lot of them have been the çiğ köfte. That's basically the origin story of this thread. Finding Sirdan a few months ago put me down a rabbit hole of Turkish and other foreign foods and now my entire feed is similar stuff. Sucks it won't let you follow hashtags in non-latin alphabets, Korea and Japan are up to some poo poo, I can tell. Turkey I like because they also have their own distinct popular food videos with smiling at the camera while cooking, there's the one psycho looking guy who never looks away from the camera, but a bunch more that seem far more genuine The greatest of all of them, of course, is Pendirhan, proprietor of Pendirhan, a food market specializing in pistachios, pistachio derived foods, olives, and brined cheeses, among other similar kinda stuff. He is my favorite because he seems genuinely childishly happy. https://i.imgur.com/UTMIYsx.mp4 he's a big'n https://i.imgur.com/mT8FhVc.mp4

I worked as an English teacher in Istanbul for a while and Çiğ köfte is genuinely one of my favorite foods, though the reality is that if you get it from a restaurant or street vendor it's going to be the vegan kind 100% of the time. The real old school raw meat one is still made in home kitchens occasionally, but serving the kind with actual raw meat to the public is illegal in Turkey.
