When I travel, I try to taste the local cuisine and love to try things that I've never had before. Recently I tried haggis, which was outstanding. I've also had hakarl (fermented shark - not really my cup of tea, but glad I tried it) and balut (surprisingly tasty).

What have you tried? Anything that caught you off guard by how tasty (or not) it was?

I have no idea where it comes from but here I go : A long time ago, we were invited at some German friends place (I am french) for dinner and they served us a weird unidentifiable "mud" that we did not thought much of.

Well I like to try new food so I dug in and wouldn't you know it I still eat it today and everyone I made some for told me that it was amazingly good for what it is.

The recipe is simple : For a can of tune, you add a box of creamy cheese (I don't know if there is a word in English, if you look for "Philadelphia" on the internet, you will find it) and some finely cut dried tomatoes. Be careful to strain everything (remove the water from the tuna, from the cheese and remove most of the oil of the tomatoes) and mix everything together. Salt, pepper and you are good to go. I recommend eating it with plain crackers as the preparation is already salty.

Unfortunately I don't have the name as we did not understood what our friends told us and simply named it "carabistouille"

That box of creamy cheese is literally called "cream cheese", at least in American English. Philadelphia is the most popular brand name.

I call mine "rillettes de thon" or "rillettes de sardines" depending on which canned fish I put in them. Also, I love to twist them with chopped cilantro, chopped shallots and lime juice or smoked paprika (pimientón de la Vera).

Tuna, cream cheese, and chopped tomatoes. That sounds like tuna spread. I like to make mine with tuna, cream cheese, freshly chopped chives and chopped pickles. Great thing to spread on crackers.

That actually sounds quite tasty! One of those foods that tastes the opposite of how it looks. (Balut is very much like that)
