Local Foods

I was born in America, but my parents are Guyanese, so I'll share those foods with you all.

Then there's roti. It's like a pita bread of the sort. You can eat it with curry by dipping it in.

I'll share more soon.
 
My city's got a signature sandwich. I am not kidding you, it's a steak sandwich that has coleslaw and French fries thrown between the bread. It's named after my city, and is served in several places, including my cafeteria.

we'll where i'm from the food is so good if you eat too much it'll probably kill ya. we have fried oreos, fried green tomatoes, fried jalape?os and fried pickles. i've never tried the oreos (not a fan yo) but everything else is great, the jalape?os are bomb.
 
Illinois has nothing special. Even in Chicago, it's a big city so there's just everything. Nothing really local. I'm kind of glad I live in a place where there's so much variety, though, because I love trying weird food and new things. My friends all cringe at what I have eaten and what I'm willing to eat lol

I go to Vermont a lot, though, and (I'm pretty sure this is exclusive to the state) they call softserve, creamees and they have maple flavoured and it's soooo good.
 
Well

we have Rocky Mountain Oysters..........................................
 
In the state of Texas, Takis have been really popular lately.

I usually get them whenever I'm at a gas station or some small shop like that. Last school term people were actually obsessing over them. Takis were really really GOOD. They're kind of hot, and there was a rumor going around that if you ate enough of them your stomach would bleed and you'd die. People believed it too, but everyone kept eating them. We were literally willing to die for these things.

Imo takis are gross. Just my opinion.
 
I'm Irish, and more specifically from Dublin. We actually don't have that many traditional foods, but here are a few that I know of anyway.

Coddle is basically just a hotpot of bacon, sausage, onion and potato. It's a traditional food from Dublin City and they serve it at a lot of pubs and stuff. I've never actually had it because I'm a vegetarian, but apparently it's pretty good.

bacon-and-cabbage2.jpg
This one is literally what it says on the tin. I don't know why bacon and cabbage is such a popular meal in Ireland but it is. Like, we even have songs about it. I don't get it.

This is soda bread, which is really really good. It's usually brown bread, and it's got a really crispy crust and tastes amazing with butter.

Irish-Coffee-cropped.jpg
This is Irish coffee, which is probably more popular around the world than it is in Ireland, but anyway. It's basically just coffee with Baileys and cream, so it's alcoholic, but yeah, it's more popular with the older generation here than anybody else.

Again, not something I personally have tried, but it's basically just pie filled with steak and Guinness..

Okay, this is shepherd's pie, which is basically like a vegetable casserole with this crispy sort of baked potato topping. I don't know how to describe it but it's really really good.

Then obviously we're known for our alcohol, like Guinness, Jameson, etc.
I don't really like Irish food and I travel a lot so I like to explore food from other cultures and places; my favourite food is probably Vietnamese.

I'm from Manchester, England and we have stuff like Eccles cake, Manchester tart, bury black pudding and lancashire hotpot.

oh and we have cordial which is like a bottled sweet syrup that you add water to.

In-n-out is probs what I can think of.

But at the farmer's market they sell this GUAC AND HOLY HELL IT IS THE BEST GUACAMOLE
 
I live in Colorado but my whole family's from New York so I love things like pizza and bagels, they aren't good here though. I'm not sure what kinds of things are local to my area honestly, it's mostly chains around here.

State neighbors!


I dunno, though... Hamburgers... maybe.

Here in Norway, at the coast, everything is just fish.

Glad part of my family came to America! (I wonder if I like fish)
