In Yemen, roast chicken might be considered exotic. Hilbeh, on the other hand, is common. Common as roast chicken is here in Australia (although this one is uncommonly small halfway between a spatchcock and a fully grown chook). Here in Australia, kumera is common. What is less common is adding garlic jam to the cooked kumera before mashing. In Brussells, Brussells sprouts might be common. Common, but not necessarily popular. Not as popular as chocolate, which the Belgians do really well. Whilst Brussels sprouts are common, they are commonly boiled - which renders them ordinary. Less common is to fry them in a little butter, which gives them an uncommon richness. Walnut oil also works well with Brussels sprouts. Sump oil does not. I have no idea if Brussels sprouts are common in Yemen. Nor kumera. I wonder what they eat in the House of Commons.
