Trying to decide last night what the theme should be for our small monthly supper club, we came up with a great idea.
Someone mentioned going with fusion, and we decided to randomly draw country names and then create a dish that joined the two. The results were, of course, cuh-lassic.
Karen and I are responsible for a dessert that's Greek-Filipino. My sister's entree will be Ethioppean-Mexican. Other combos included Turkish-Japanese and Spanish-Indian.
Personally, I can't wait to see how this turns out. I'll post photos.
Feel free to make any recommendations on how we could pull this off.

I miss our Iron Chef cookoffs. =(
Greek and Filipino are two cuisines I don't know much about, unfortunately.
Greek desserts are already pretty tough...lots of phyllo dough layers and such. I can't imagine this will be easy, but it should create new dishes in the vein of Iron Chef.
hmm... filipino/greek dessert. how about GALATABOUREKO
with Champorado or Palm Sugar Custards
instead of the custard in the bourklaskhsldkhseoi recipe.
spanish indian... i would say paella with indian spices
My favorite line from the Galataboureko recipe posted by Vo0 above...
"It's like eating a Peanut Butter Cup for breakfast! "
* Holds stomach, ponders Peanut Butter Puffins he ate this morning....*
