What exotic food item can I make easily at home? (jemmy.jeena.net)

When I was traveling the world I always learned about new food, then when back home I'd try to recreate it and invite friends and family who have no possibility to travel to taste it.

Now I haven't had the possibility to travel to new places for the last couple of years, but I wonder if you guys have some tips what I could try to make. Something not too complicated but to some extend exotic.

My tip would be the the Sabich which I tried in Jerusalem in 2019. A flatbread with eggplant, egg, other vegetables and sauces. Sweet and savory.

Ice cream soup:

Place 2-3 scoops of ice cream in a bowl
Use a tablespoon to vigorously stir the scoops in the bowl until they have the consistency of a thick soup
Garnish with chocolate syrup and serve

That is delicious. Although I skip the syrup.

Uhm, that sounds weird ^^. I was thinking more about savory food from Africa or the middle east or South America or Asia, etc., but most of the comments are about extremely deserts.

Exotic, maybe not depending on your feelings on access to rich velutinous chocolate: ganache. Equal parts heavy cream and semi-sweet chocolate chips by weight. Heat the cream until just below simmer, add to the chips, wait 5 minutes and then mix. Profit.

Totally second this! Super easy to make, tons of applications. Ice cream, cakes, fruit, you name it.

I once made a chocolate ganache and a strawberry merlot sauce over ladyfingers for my wife/then girlfriend for our first or second anniversary. It took minutes to make, but talk about decadent!

Whoa, that sounds decadent :D I don't think I ever had it, will try it!
