Falling apart Zeppelins Thanks all. Couple of things worry us. Seems to be some debate on how much boiled versus raw grated potato to use. Also, I can see these things falling apart in whe water whilst cooking. Is there some secret to avoid that drama? BACON = :yum: !!!!

Lithuania - Cepelenai Does anyone have any tips on making Cepelenai, the national dish of Lithuania. I want to cook that next week. Something to do with dumplings I believe and we have never done anything where we have to build something before cooking. Please, please, please can we include bacon?

I've never really enjoyed any jam except for Strawberry. Must be my simple pallete!

The Bahamas sounds like a really interesting one to debate and for us to cook. Can we get Conch anywhere in England though? In the meantime, Canada has jus bee finished and uploaded. I hope you enjoy it! At the weekend, we are taking on our biggest challenge - the mighty mansaf from Jordan...

This sounds awesome. Congratulations on living in the Bahamas once. I wish I had! Can I get conch in England?

England, maybe a Roast... Although apparently Tikka Masala is one of our national dishes. Scotland - we'll try and make Haggis... Wales - definitely - the Cawl. I had an Ulster Fry one in Ireland so would love to make it. I'm a bit more worried about finding turtle or conch for the Cayman...

Oops... I think they noticed. Should have sent a private message!

Consider my limited and child-like pallete, for some reason I really like sauerkraut! The Polish stew sounds nice.

That was very helpful thanks! We have made the poutine and filmed the escapade. All I need to do now is spend about 8 hours editing it!!!

Thanks for the welcome and support CG. Pierogi looks very interesting to try. I had the national dish of Poland down as "Bigos". Any idea what that is?

Yes but worse than the teeth - look at the ridges at the top of the underside of the inside of the mouth. Ewwww....!

We'll dedicate the Borscht episode to you Charlie D. I don't know anyone else from the Ukraine!

Thanks, we will eat well though! And to be honest Borscht sounds delicious!!! :chef:

I've never made pie crust but I saw my Mum do it thirty years ago. I can't remember anything about it other than it looking yellow. We will give it a go though!!!

That looks fantastic and is really clear to follow with the pics. I would love to try that but it looks more like 5 hours than 45 minutes! The first bit is an hour and a half. The first two episodes took 5 or 6 hours to film so it's tricky for me to make the curds for the poutine. But the recipe...
