Pantua and chomchom both on the list but no roshogolla? Ok then
Roshogolla is claimed by Kolkata too, maybe that's why haha
Haleem during Ramadan is incredible, add it please
Shutki is an acquired taste, my non-Bangladeshi friends ran away from the smell
Shutki bhorta with hot rice is life. People who run away miss out
This list is ok but it reads like it was made by someone who never ate in Bangladesh. Where's morog polao, rezala, haleem?
Rezala and morog polao are wedding classics, should definitely be on it
Love seeing Bangladeshi food getting attention. Saving this for my next trip to Dhaka.
Khichuri on a rainy day with beef curry and egg fry. Perfect list for that alone.
Seekh kebab is everywhere in South Asia, not really Bangladeshi specific
Mezban beef from Chittagong is the best thing I've ever eaten. So glad it's on here.
Pitha season in winter is the best time to visit Bangladesh
Bakarkhani with tea in the morning in old Dhaka, beautiful memories
Borhani with biryani is a must, good that it's here
No mishti doi?? The Bogra sweet yogurt is legendary
Agree, mishti doi should replace boondi easily
Kala bhuna deserves top 3, the dark beef with rice is heaven
Decent start, but needs a part 2 with fish dishes. Bengalis are fish people!
Where is fuchka? The street food is half the cuisine!
And chotpoti! Street food totally ignored here
Kacchi biryani at number one is right though. Old Dhaka kacchi is unbeatable.
Monda from Muktagachha, finally someone remembers it
No ilish (hilsa) on a Bangladeshi food list?? Shorshe ilish is THE national dish. How did this happen
Exactly, hilsa should be number one, not biryani
It's a list of dishes from the wiki article, hilsa is a fish not a dish technically
That's the weakest excuse I've ever read lol, shorshe ilish is literally a dish
Kolkata biryani with the potato is better, fight me
Potato in biryani is a crime and you know it
Haha the potato debate again. Both are good, calm down everyone
Panta bhat on Pohela Boishakh with fried hilsa... see, hilsa again ;)
