Salmon croquettes aren’t exactly the most elegant dish. Traditionally made with canned salmon, some bread crumbs or matzah meal, eggs and seasoning, they are an easy and cheap way to throw together a meal. These classic patties, which are also referred to as salmon latkes, croquettes or cakes, may seem out of fashion to the young folks who came of age after the food revolutions of the late 20th century, but for me they will always be the ultimate comfort food. With the explosion of increasingly global ingredients at the ready and the emphasis on fresh food, all steered us away from the pre-1970s casserole-from-a-can type of cookery. And yet, classic old-time foods remain beloved, if not perhaps back in fashion.
No one in my mom’s or grandma’s generation made salmon croquettes with fresh salmon. Canned food had become popular during the Civil War, and even more so during WWI, when soldiers needed food that was convenient, safe and tasty. Canned salmon in particular became a household staple during the Depression, when meals had to be nutritious but also as cheap as possible, made with inexpensive proteins and stretched with filler to feed the whole family. New Deal subsidies helped make canned salmon economical enough for most of the immigrant and first-generation Jewish families at the time. And because salmon is kosher and pareve (neither meat nor dairy), the canned kind became ubiquitous in Jewish households, because fresh salmon was neither cheap nor readily available. 
Beyond the convenience, ease and cost, salmon croquettes occupy a particular place in my heart because they were also my mother’s last meal before she passed away. She didn’t know it would be the very last thing she ate when she fussed about the kitchen fixing up a batch of salmon croquettes for lunch. But had she known, my mother would have chosen them anyway. They were among her favorite foods and she made them at least once a week for as long as I can remember. As she used to say, “you just mix a can of salmon with an egg and as much matzah meal or bread crumbs as you need to shape them into patties.” 
It was the only dish my mother prepared just for herself, and, if I were visiting, for me too. That particular day, my aunt was over and the two sisters shared a salmon latke lunch while discussing whatever two older widowed women talk about in private. 
My dad had always refused to eat salmon croquettes because his mother made them so often when he was a kid, he had “enough for a lifetime,” he explained. They were a Jewish staple as far as we knew: Everybody’s mother or grandmother made them for lunch or for a “dairy” meal in the summer, capped off with sliced bananas and sour cream sprinkled with sugar.
The recipe didn’t deviate too much, though my mom would sometimes mixed in fresh dill and a chopped scallion if she had. She shaped them about 1-inch thick and fried them in vegetable oil. We would eat them hot or cold, plain or with sliced tomatoes, and during Passover, on matzah.
While have moved more towards using fresh salmon when I make them, I still sometimes revert to using canned salmon (red, just like my mother said). I’ve added a little of this and that too: one of my family’s favorites includes mashed potatoes and fresh spinach. The thing is, the “recipe” for salmon croquettes is so basic it asks the modern cook to do what our grandmas did: add a bissel of this or that, perhaps some harissa, grated fresh ginger, horseradish or soy sauce. I’ve seen recipes that call for mustard, cooked peas, shredded carrots, chopped jalapenos or grated onion. Some people coat the patties with panko before frying them, to give them extra crispiness. And the latest version: salmon croquettes made in an air fryer!
Salmon latkes. Croquettes. Whatever you call them, they’re still going strong. After all, what’s old is always new again.
My mom died suddenly, unexpectedly, an hour or so after enjoying that lunch. I always feel a little sad when I make salmon croquettes, remembering that day. But I also smile to myself, knowing how much she enjoyed that last simple, perfect meal.

From Japanese to Greek to Goan:15 Global Cuisines in Delhi for Zomato Gold Members
Are you one of those who orders the same food items (read: butter chicken) at a given restaurant without a second thought? If yes, this blog post isn’t for you. Our theme of the day is quite simple: why have the same thing when there is so much more to explore? Especially when Zomato Gold is here, which comes with complimentary benefits—one free dish for a collective order by a Zomato Gold member—and there are way too many places serving awesome cuisines.
Those in Delhi NCR, let us help you out with the ultimate list of spots where you can enjoy some of the so-called non-conventional cuisines. What’s awesomer is the fact that all these restaurants feature on Zomato Gold.

Close to the Indian palate, Persian cuisine is perfect for a family dinner. Head to Nooshe Junoon for that authentic Persian experience. Royal China

We’ve all been there. It’s late, and after a night out with friends, a craving arrives. The question is, what to eat? Sweet or savory, all around the world cultures have invented mouthwatering dishes that will satisfy those late night hankerings.
Whether they are fried snacks or street food finds, hangover foods are often indulgent and always delicious. And if one thing’s for certain, after a night out at the bar, calorie counting is not on the brain. In fact, many cultures thrive on street food snacking as a way of life.
To hit the spot, we’ve come up with a list of the best drinking food. Some dishes are tied to deep regional tradition, while some are new inventions—but they’re all delicious.
Japan

Okonomiyaki
Often called “Japanese pizza” or a “Japanese pancake” this regional Hiroshima and Kansai specialty packs a punch. Prepared to order on griddles, this savory delight is piled high with a huge variety of ingredients. Typically a thin layer of batter is topped with eggs, cabbage, meat (often pork belly), squid, noodles, and cheese topped with special sauce.

Pork Carnitas
Made by braising or simmering pork in lard for hours until tender, pork carnitas originated in the Mexican state of Michoacán. The juicy, seasoned meat is then served with cilantro, salsa, and guacamole on tortillas.
  USA

Donuts
Who doesn’t love a donut? But our undisputed favorite has to be Duck Donuts, which originated on the Outer Banks and has now spread through Georgia, Virginia, and the East Coast. Fresh, warm donuts are constantly churned out, made to order right before your eyes. As you watch your donut travel down the conveyor belt, pick glazes like peanut butter, maple, and cinnamon sugar. And if that weren’t enough, sprinkle on a little bacon, shredded coconut, or Oreos.
  Canada

Poutine
There’s nothing more indulgent—or Canadian—than poutine. Originating from Quebec, they’ve become the symbolic national drinking snack. French fried smothered with cheese curds and gravy, what more can you ask for? Oh yes, some restaurants have taken to also adding a variety of meats to up the ante. Poutine has even made its way across the border, with the New Jersey variant “Disco Fries.” Switching out the cheese curds for Mozzarella or Provolone, they originated as a late night snack in diners after the discos closed.
  Argentina

Empanadas
It’s impossible to visit Argentina without trying at least one empanada. This stuffed bread pastry can be found across Latin America, but have a special stronghold in Argentina. Specialty shops churn out a huge variety of empanadas, with different regions perfecting slightly different recipes. In Buenos Aires, a meat-stuff empanada is a fast food staple—a quick, cheap treat to satisfy cravings.
  Scotland

Haggis Balls
Haggis may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but this national dish of Scotland can be used to make bite size Haggis balls. Traditionally accompanied by whiskey, it’s no wonder these fried treats are often served with a whiskey mustard sauce.
  Turkey

Islak Burgers
Islak burgers, also known as “Wet burgers,” is an unmistakable staple of Istanbul street food. It’s impossible to miss the vendors, who stand at every corner with carts fitted with a transparent box full of burgers. What makes them wet? That would be the tomato-based sauced they are dunked in before going inside the steamy box. It may sound odd but these local favorites fly out of the box at 2 am, as late night snackers devour the garlicky patties.
  Italy

Supplì al telefono
Originating from the area around Rome, these fried rice balls are called “al telefono” for a clever reason. The balls, which contain rice and a tomato meat sauce, include a mozzarella center. After the balls have been fried, the string of melted cheese is reminiscent of a telephone cord—back when we used phones with cords. This cheap snack is commonly found as an appetizer in pizzerias and shops selling pizza by the slice.
  El Salvador

Fried Plantains
If you are looking for something sweet to end your evening, you may want to hop on the next plane to El Salvador. The fried plantains have a light caramel coating and are topped with a scoop of condensed milk. The indulgent treat is often eaten for breakfast, but is available at all hours of the day from street vendors.
  South Korea

Potato Wrapped Hotdog
Hot dogs and french fries are classics, but what if they were combined together and put on a stick? That’s basically what you have in Seoul, where street vendors sell hotdogs on a stick, spiral-wrapped with one long, delicious french fry.
  Georgia

Khachapuri
This traditional Georgian dish has all the makings of a perfect hangover snack. Khachapuri is cheese stuffed bread topped with egg and is the country’s national dish. Shaped like a boat, the bread’s crust is ripped off and used to dip into the gooey center. To understand how much of a staple it is, inflation is actually measured against the price of making it, something called the Khachapuri index.
  New York City

Dollar Slice
Pizza is a go-to staple after any night of drinking, but there’s nothing quite like the New York dollar slice. People rhapsodize about the quest for the perfect $1 slice, a phenomenon that started popping up in Manhattan in the late-00s. In a town full of high end options, at the end of the day, there’s no beating this budget-friendly snack.
  Russia

Chebureki
Street food and Russia might not seem like a likely pairing, but there are no shortage of snacks that pair well with a beer. Chebureki are tiny fried pockets filled with mince meat and onion, a seemingly humble food that was the national dish of the Crimean Tartars.
  Vietnam

Bahn Mi
A term for all kinds of bread, bahn mi mainly refers to the French baguette that was introduced during colonialism. It’s also become synonymous with tasty baguette stuffed sandwiches. The filling can vary, but is often steamed pork belly topped with an assortment of vegetables like cucumbers, pickled carrots, and white radishes.

Corned Beef Tacos
Innovative tacos are all the rage, but Patsy’s Irish Pub in Mission Viejo, CA puts a decidedly Irish twist on their version. These corned beef tacos are served with a side of creamy horseradish sauce and topped with shredded cabbage, making the perfect pairing with a pint.
  London, England

Brick Lane Bagels
New Yorkers may take issue with including bagels from London, but the 24-hour Beigal Bake on Brick Lane is an institution. Since 1977 they serve up fresh bagels stuffed with salted beef or slathered with cream cheese and salmon to late night revelers. They churn out up to 7,000 bagels a day, so they must be doing something right.

Shawarma
The shawarma, or its cousin the döner kebab, are popular throughout Europe. Especially popular in Berlin, where Turkish immigrants brought their cuisine, this delicious dish is based on slices of roasted meat cooked on a spit. The juicy shavings are rolled into a pita and topped with an assortment of vegetables, french fries, and condiments. In the Netherlands, the especially popular shawarma is often topped with a generous helping of garlic sauce.
  Turkey

Işkembe çorbası
Tripe soup? This may seem like an odd choice, but according to food writer Katie Parla tells us via email that işkembe çorbası—as it’s known in Turkey—is popular “consumed in the wee hours after drinking, it has the pleasing effect of soaking up all the alcohol of a hard night out and sort of sending you off to bed with a belly full of earthy soul food.”
  Malaysia

Meat skewers
Street food in Kuala Lumpur is more than just eating, it’s a way of life. When the sun goes down, night markets serve the heaving crowds that come out when the city cools down. Here, there’s no end to the choices that will fulfill late night cravings, but we’re especially fond of the grilled meat skewers that are crispy, salty, and hit the spot.
  United Kingdom

Bacon Sandwich
There’s nothing more hangover-worthy than a straight up bacon sandwich. This UK classic was once voted the thing Brits love the most about their country. For two slices of buttered bread with bacon and brown sauce, that’s pretty high marks. Scientists at Newcastle University have even investigated the reasons why it helps cure a hangover.
  India

Golgappa
Known as golgappa in North India and phuchhka in East India, this beloved snack is sold by street vendors across the country. Round, hollow Indian bread is fried to a crisp and filled with flavored water, tamarind chutney, chili, chaat masala, potato, onion, and chickpeas. The flavored water is typically sour, tangy, and spicy, which is balanced out by the sweet chutney.
  Amsterdam

FEBO Snack Vending Machine
We’d be remiss not to mention this mecca to fried snacks in the Netherlands. For over 40 years these automats let you choose from a wide variety of items from a traditional mince-meat hotdog and croquette on a roll to deep-fried cheese. You simply insert your coins and open the glass compartment of the snack of your choice. The genius kiosk was started by a pastry chef in Amsterdam in 1960 and has since spread across the country.

Salmon croquettes aren’t exactly the most elegant dish. Traditionally made with canned salmon, some bread crumbs or matzah meal, eggs and seasoning, they are an easy and cheap way to throw together a meal. These classic patties, which are also referred to as salmon latkes, croquettes or cakes, may seem out of fashion to the young folks who came of age after the food revolutions of the late 20th century, but for me they will always be the ultimate comfort food. With the explosion of increasingly global ingredients at the ready and the emphasis on fresh food, all steered us away from the pre-1970s casserole-from-a-can type of cookery. And yet, classic old-time foods remain beloved, if not perhaps back in fashion.
No one in my mom’s or grandma’s generation made salmon croquettes with fresh salmon. Canned food had become popular during the Civil War, and even more so during WWI, when soldiers needed food that was convenient, safe and tasty. Canned salmon in particular became a household staple during the Depression, when meals had to be nutritious but also as cheap as possible, made with inexpensive proteins and stretched with filler to feed the whole family. New Deal subsidies helped make canned salmon economical enough for most of the immigrant and first-generation Jewish families at the time. And because salmon is kosher and pareve (neither meat nor dairy), the canned kind became ubiquitous in Jewish households, because fresh salmon was neither cheap nor readily available. 
Beyond the convenience, ease and cost, salmon croquettes occupy a particular place in my heart because they were also my mother’s last meal before she passed away. She didn’t know it would be the very last thing she ate when she fussed about the kitchen fixing up a batch of salmon croquettes for lunch. But had she known, my mother would have chosen them anyway. They were among her favorite foods and she made them at least once a week for as long as I can remember. As she used to say, “you just mix a can of salmon with an egg and as much matzah meal or bread crumbs as you need to shape them into patties.” 
It was the only dish my mother prepared just for herself, and, if I were visiting, for me too. That particular day, my aunt was over and the two sisters shared a salmon latke lunch while discussing whatever two older widowed women talk about in private. 
My dad had always refused to eat salmon croquettes because his mother made them so often when he was a kid, he had “enough for a lifetime,” he explained. They were a Jewish staple as far as we knew: Everybody’s mother or grandmother made them for lunch or for a “dairy” meal in the summer, capped off with sliced bananas and sour cream sprinkled with sugar.
The recipe didn’t deviate too much, though my mom would sometimes mixed in fresh dill and a chopped scallion if she had. She shaped them about 1-inch thick and fried them in vegetable oil. We would eat them hot or cold, plain or with sliced tomatoes, and during Passover, on matzah.
While have moved more towards using fresh salmon when I make them, I still sometimes revert to using canned salmon (red, just like my mother said). I’ve added a little of this and that too: one of my family’s favorites includes mashed potatoes and fresh spinach. The thing is, the “recipe” for salmon croquettes is so basic it asks the modern cook to do what our grandmas did: add a bissel of this or that, perhaps some harissa, grated fresh ginger, horseradish, or soy sauce. I’ve seen recipes that call for mustard, cooked peas, shredded carrots, chopped jalapenos, or grated onion. Some people coat the patties with panko before frying them, to give them extra crispiness. And the latest version: salmon croquettes made in an air fryer!
Salmon latkes. Croquettes. Whatever you call them, they’re still going strong. After all, what’s old is always new again.
My mom died suddenly, unexpectedly, an hour or so after enjoying that lunch. I always feel a little sad when I make salmon croquettes, remembering that day. But I also smile to myself, knowing how much she enjoyed that last simple, perfect meal.
