I live in Fl and everyone here is obsessed with hot sauce and spicy food. Spicy kimchi ramen has become a local fad. It's always sold out in the stores and there are three Mexican restaurants in the town I live in.

Edit: I don't know, but I somehow forgot about seafood. I guess it's because I don't like it very much. Anyway, shrimp and hushpuppies are a huge thing here. Hushpuppies are basically donut balls, but they're only served in seafood restaurants. Oh, and also biscuits and gravy for breakfast, which is good, but it's really horrible for you. And the last one is alligator meat, which I'd never heard of until I moved here, but apparently alligator farming is a thing.

Here, have some Filipino food & Snacks. Fun fact: The Philippines is the only country in the world where McDonald's isn't the number one fast food place; they were beaten by Jollibee.

Spoiler: Jollibee burgers

Spoiler: Kare Kare, an oxtail peanut stew. It's my absolute favourtie <3

Spoiler: Halo Halo. You mix it before you eat it. It's great for cooling down

Spoiler: Diniguang. It's a blood stew, and I'm not a big fan due to the smell. Most people I've met love it though

Spoiler: Sinigang. Love this a lot, it's my favourite when I'm sick

Spoiler: Random Photos because I'm getting lazy

I'm from Ireland too, just left Dublin for Donegal :3 I think my favourite irish food is probably Colcannon, which is mashed potato with cabbage in it and sometimes onion, leek, scallion, other green things and a ton of milk/butter. It's so good!

Other than that, Irish stew is always really great!

Tim Horton's beats out McDonald's in Canada, actually.

Also some of that food looks really good, but I'm super picky so my taste buds mean nothing.

In France, it's all about cheese... and wine. Not even kidding. Wish I was though, I hate cheese. And I don't drink.
We only eat snails for special occasions (they're quite expensive). We eat more snails than we eat frogs, actually. Shame though, I really like fried frogs. For anyone wondering, snails taste like garlic, and frogs taste a little like chicken

Out of curiosity, can you feel the eye-stalk things when you're eating snails? Are they chewy?
I've always wanted to try them but for some reason they scare me >.<;

Here in the UK we have the traditional fish and chips, pasties, and tea.
Cornish tea is lovely and so are scones with cornish cream, but I'm not from Cornwall and I don't live there, either.
