Solved! Strange green fruit (?) possibly pickled, in mixed salad

Thumbnail

138 Upvotes

Fork for scale. We have no clue what this could be. Google Lens says seedless kiwi (too small), seedless grape (too big, also solid and not translucent), or plum (no pit). I thought olive, but again, no pit.

For context, we're in Austria, the salad was the side of a traditional dish, and it also had pickles and what I assume was kraut.

Any help?

Raga vi prego aiutatemi, io ricordo di aver amato un biscotto in particolare da bambino, che oggi non esiste più, né nei negozi, né su internet. Ho ricreato con l'IA a memoria una foto di quel tipo di biscotto, è la più vicina possibile ai miei ricordi. Qualcuno ha idea di come si chiamavano?

P.S. dalla foto sembra enorme ma nel miei ricordi erano biscotti di grandezza normale, come gli oreo indicativamente.

Solved! Possibly central/southeast European orange pastry/cake?

Thumbnail

100 Upvotes

I have been thinking about this cake for YEARS!

I used to go into people homes for work and a lot of very nice people would offer me food. If the house and kitchen looked clean enough I would usually accept.

This particular time I was offered a white cake with whipped topping, it had an orange flavor, and was possibly soaked/baked with an orange liquor/syrup. It was so light and delicious!

Problem is there was a language barrier. Based on their house decor and the sound of their language, im guessing they were eastern European of some sort. We got by with a lot of hand gestures and when I was finished with my job, they pointed to the table, gestured for me to sit and presented this cake to me. I tried to ask what it was called and they unfortunately were unable to understand.

Now I know I can Google "orange cream cake" and probably find some recipes, but I am looking for THIS RECIPE. Does ANYONE possibly know of a traditional Czech, Romanian, polish, or maybe even Ukranian cake that fits this description???

Im doing a friendsgiving in a few weeks and would love to find out where this comes from and share it with others (as well as the story behind it.)The cute elderly couple that invited me into their home and fed me live rent free in my mind because of this cake! I NEED TO KNOW!

Looking for the recipe Green olive rolls

Thumbnail

51 Upvotes

I get these at a local farmers market and they don’t always have them so trying to see if I can recreate at home. They call them “vegan green olive rolls.” Wondering if someone can help me identify what the olives are mixed/seasoned with and how to try and make the rolls? It looks like they fold the rolls over and tuck the olives on the inside but can’t tell how this will work without making it soggy or uncooked inside. Thanks

My mom said she grew these in our backyard. It tastes slightly citrusy like a lime. It also leaves a bit of a starchy aftertaste like quenepas.

Solved! Bosnian Dessert ID?

Post image
78 Upvotes

Hello, TOMF! So growing up, my mom's best friend was a Bosnian immigrant to the United States. She used to make this Bosnian dessert that we just called "yellow squares" or "[her name] squares". I never learned the Bosnian name, and I can't find any recipes for it by searching its attributes.

As our name for them implies, they are these squarish, layered bars. The layers alternate between cream (which is a yellow color) and a soft, sweet layer that is kind of like cake but less spongey. On top are crumbled nuts, I believe walnuts. The whole thing is nutty and vanilla-y. I remember my mom saying that she tried to make them once (and has since lost the recipe), and they're hard to make here in the United States because they use a special vanilla sugar (?) that is common in Eastern Europe but not so much over here.

Thank you all so much in advance!

What is this food? what is this 2010s sweet

1 Upvotes

picture early 2010s when teens all used to buy snacks (and other things) and hang out at the skate park

me and my friend were obsessed with this one sweet from Poundland (UK)... it was a little straw of creamy fruit substance. almost like a thick yoghurt consistency??

we have searched Google for years with all sorts and never had success so my final attempt is this reddit.

not sure if it was a UK brand or imported by Poundland. it was a big pack of small straws but we really can't remember much

When my parents and I would go on our weekend trip to the San Jose flea market we’d always get these clear containers that carried about 4-6 meaty brown pits that were covered in what I can only recall as like liquid Caramel or very sweet honey I loved them as a kid

What is this food? Bubblegum icecream in round tub (UK)

6 Upvotes

Hello, there's a bubblegum icecream I've been searching for for about 7 years. I always used to get it from a shop called p&gs in the UK but it closed down a while ago. It was the most amazing icecream and I haven't been able to find it anywhere since. I've searched online for it a few times, but I can't find the exact one. All I remember is that it was a very blue/cyan colour and it came in a round tub. The tub had a similar design to mackies icecream. Please let me know if you have any ideas of which brand it could've been 👍🏻👍🏻

What is this food? Chocolate wafer brand missing

5 Upvotes

Over 3-4 decades ago in Long Island, my favorite snack food was a brand of chocolate wafers. The wafers were so fine, and the chocolate was so rich. They were stacked in a rectangular package that you had to open with one of those thin red plastic strips. I got them from Waldbaum’s. All of a sudden they disappeared and I can’t find them anywhere on the internet. Packaging was maybe had some gold and red on it? Did they get discontinued? Anyone know what I’m talking about?

I do in-home therapy for this little boy and his grand mother is always giving me snacks and food. I really like this one she gave me but I don’t know what it is. She only speaks Vietnamese and when I asked her, the translation said “Japanese cake”. I couldn’t read the packaging, I couldn’t get a picture of it either.

What is this food? Does anyone remember a brand of Beef Tea (not Bovril)

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

Hi all! In the late seventies, in the US, my dad used to bring home "English Beef Tea" concentrate, and I cannot remember the brand name. It came in small glass bottles, like A1 or Worcestershire sauce. It wasn't Bovril. I vaguely think it was Major Something's, or Colonel Somebody's, Beef Tea. I assumed it was a British import. What's it called, and so they still make it?
