I love stories about dishes, their history, and how the dish has fitted into various societies/cultures. There aren't many comprehensive stories about Western dishes, definitely not Australian dishes. Probably the UK and US have more of a grasp, and there are some great researchers who have published books on the history of some UK dishes.

I love this (longish) article about Chorchori aka Charchari - a Bengali style of cooking mixed vegetables that often uses left over veg from making other dishes, and peels and scraps. Very much a no-waste dish.

Jhal Muri/Masala Muri

This particular snack is made with Muri (crispy puffed rice) and is quintessential to Bengal. A savory treat with so much texture, flavors, and freshness, and it can be a great comfort food and an easy snack to make and share with people over ‘Adda’ (the Bengali culture of casually hanging out and sharing a hearty chat).
