I was introduced to currywurst only a couple of weeks ago by this amazing official postcard and currywurst has been added to my mental food map.

I havenā€™t received that many food-related postcards, but from time to time one finds its way into my letterbox. I especially liked this one:

There is a whole set of similar cards - I received some more through swaps and round robins. They are so cute!

Iā€™ve sent quite a few food cards, especially the set of maxicards on foreign food which has become popular in Sweden during the last decades:

Or this one from a set about Swedish cooks:

Or this shaped one:

I got a profile that said he enjoyed recipes, so I made this one about Spanish omelette and wrote the recipe on the back side, of course.

I wonder if he ever triedā€¦

I do like food postcards with and without recipes.
This came in the mail last week from Hong Kongā€“I just love it! She translated the recipe for me!
Going to make it this week!

I wouldnā€™t say food postcards are my very favouritesā€¦ that said I have a suspicious lot of food postcards in my ā€œfavouritesā€! :grin:

The Canadian sweets stamps make me drool! :drooling_face:

Recipie cards are fairly common in the US and are mostly regional (fudge from Michigan, peach pie in Georgia, Texas chili, New England crab cakes etc). I keep a few on hand as I often pull an official asking for food. My favs are from the Jack Danielā€™s whiskey distillery, apparently booze jazzes up almost everything!

The post office always has fruit stamps and just recently issued a set of coffee ones

It says:
ā€œThe most delicious fish is still a viennese schnitzel (breadcrumbed and fried veal scallop)ā€

It seems I always draw the ā€œwrongā€ profiles as I seem to stack up food and recipe cards and hardly ever send them out :sweat_smile:

I recently received these two and I absolutely adore them:

Are kohlrabi and parsnips forgotten in the Netherlands? :scream:

Indeed, all of these vegetables were once popular but not anymore. Some of these are still produced but on a small scale. Of all these vegetables I have only eaten parsnip occasionally.

If you want to try these particular two, come over to Germany. Kohlrabi are okay-ish and parsnips are delicious. :ok_hand:t2::grimacing:

Kohlrabi is a very veggie-friendly one, and one of my favourite vegetables.

You can eat it raw, cooked, friedā€¦ So much possibilities :smiley:

Hi @AngelinaWang! Nice to have you on the forum! :slight_smile:

Your postcards are gorgeous ā€” theyā€™re from Ever&Ein, right?

I can help translate the French postcard, but it requires an oven (ēƒ¤ē®±) to cookā€¦ Do you have an oven in your house?
