Sounds like a version of pilaf or pilau - Armenia?

As they used to say when playing children's guessing games - you're getting warmer

'Plov', shortened form of pavlova which is Australia's national dish although stolen from the Kiwis.

No, but strangely, mention of the word Pavlova puts you closer, geographically that is!

The name had something to do with a dancer /ballet dancer I think.

Russia? $:-\$

No, but Russia is a sort of clue. Think former Soviet Union.

Ukraine?

I think RiS has it. Just looked it up. Looks better than it sounds.

Somewhere off the west coast of Scotland?

RiS is correct. It's not particularly pleasant, but then I did have it every night for a week when I was there - there wasn't much else!

Four tides a day in Southampton Water, but I wouldn't call it narrow... or perhaps you mean more frequently than 6 hours-ish?

The Severn Estuary?
