Announcing a New Project

Today I have decided to attempt a challenge. I am going to try and cook a dish from every country in the world. According to this list, there are 206 sovereign states recognized by the UN, so it will certainly be a varied and unique project. I will mostly be doing web research on each country's cuisine, but if you would like to make a comment suggesting your country's 'classic' or best dish, I would love to hear it! To start with, I will go in alphabetical order, which means that our very first country will be Abkhazia, a conflicted state which used to be part of Georgia and whose independence is disputed. Why start simple?
