@DoctorEldritch wooooww it looks really appetizing

I cook sometimes (pizza!!!) but I like to make simple dishes.
Crepes with cheese (I don't know how to say "crepe" in English?) , hamburger (vegetarian) and my famous rice with coconut cream and soy sauce.

Depends on what you want to say. Crepes are big thin pancakes, this thing:



They can come with cheese and are quite tasty with it. Is this what you mean?

Pickles can be a bit complex process-wise (as in, there are tricks and nuances to them), but once you get the hang of them, they are easy and you can make a big batch at once. This is what I like about them.

Rice sounds nice. Have you ever tried cooking it in a Thai bamboo steamer basket? That is my favourite way to cook it.

Hamburger is an interesting word, I always wondered why it's called that, there is no ham in hamburger, there is beef, should it not be beefburger? And vegetarian hamburger is even more confusing because it does not have any meat at all. But names of things in general are such a weird thing, especially in English.

@DoctorEldritch the word "hamburger" comes from the city of "Hamburg" in germany, so it's not forbidden to make veggies 😍

@ramax I guess that makes sense, though after you told me that, I googled how that happened and got several different results and several different people as authors of the name, and different stories, be it named to appeal to German immigrants in America at the time or after the word in a fair name, but Hamburg seems to have played a role.

Still, goes to show how odd stories of naming dishes and their histories sometimes are. I remember @GoLLuM13 telling me the history of Couscous and there is an interesting bit of legend behind the name of the Eton Mess dessert, too. We discussed those here some time ago.
