Japanese curry

When I went to Japan 15 years ago my favorite Japanese food was initially sushi, but I learned that there is something better: Japanese curry (Karē). It was introduced into Japanese culture only in the late 1860s when Japan had to give up its self-chosen isolation and came into contact with the British Empire. Karē was by that time a military dish, today it is a beloved everyday meal ubiquitously available. While travelling through the country I often stopped by at a chain restaurant called CoCo Ichibanya serving delicious Katsu karē.

Coffee ceremony

Ethiopian food is known for its rich, flavorful, and communal style of eating, centered around injera, a type of spongy, sour flatbread made from teff flour. Injera serves as both a plate and utensil, with various stews, wats, and vegetable dishes placed on top, and diners use pieces of injera to scoop up the food. The cuisine is renowned for its bold use of spices such as berbere (a blend of chili and other spices) and mitmita, which infuse dishes with a distinctive warmth and depth. Common dishes include doro wat (a spicy chicken stew), kitfo (minced raw beef), and a variety of lentils, beans, and vegetables.

Gröninger

If you want to get a beer brewed in Hamburg, Germany, you might typically choose an Astra or Holsten. They’re the most famous ones, but the oldest brewery from 1793 at the oldest brewery location (used since 1722) is Gröninger. The Gröning Privatbrauerei produces a delicious, amber-colored Pilsener close to the historic Speicherstadt and Chilehaus. The building itself was built in 1761 and is one of the last Baroque-style buildings in the old city center; it is therefore protected as a cultural heritage since 1944.
