I’ve been really stuck on a lot of the small island nations - St Kitts and Nevis? Palau? With food - I prefer to go to a proper restaurant but for harder cases like Abkhazia I ordered some candy online (and debatable whether that’s a country any way)
Anyone else have a similar project?
New Zealand here. The most traditional Pacific Island foods are cooked in an earth oven - cover the food in tinfoil, wrap it in wet sacks, place it on hot stones in a hole you’ve dug, then cover it with earth until enough time has passed to cook it. Chances are you won’t find that in a restaurant, so I’m going to recommend our favourite dip. Take one can reduced cream (like condensed milk but thicker and unsweetened) and mix thoroughly with one packet dehydrated onion soup. Cover with film and leave in the fridge for an hour to set. Simple!
For an album I’m going to recommend We Rise by alt-metal band Devilskin. It’s uniformly good and singer Jenny Skulander has a powerful voice.
For a book, try Gideon the Ninth by Tamsin Muir. Sci-Fantasy necromancers in space. How can you go wrong?
Gideon the ninth is kiwi?? New Zealand gets cooler at every turn!
