Your Favorite Local Foods

[Save_Ferris]

Yes, this has been done before, but six years ago. What are your favorite foods specific to your general region?

I'll start with the good ol' sopapilla, a pillowlike bread which is often filled with honey.

Steak:

 

[GinandTonic]

Yorkshire pudding.

 

[Old Hippy]

witchery-grubs... I won't provide a picture... as it is still before breakfast here

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Yorkshire pudding.

Mmmm

Haggis has also become one of my favourite foods since I first tried it a few years back. Not deep-fried mars bars though, I have not had the pleasure.

Scouse, duh.

My babushka's pirozhki (and belyashi), but she's long gone, and we live separately with my mom, so there are no good pirozhki these days... They were made of minced meat and delicious thick oily pastry, I'm not sure of the exact components.

The second comes shashlik (kebab). I love it in almost every form possible, but especially when it is made of pork (and on a campfire, of course).

Also I love chicken bouillon with onion fried in flour and small pieces of bread in it. And baked potato with butter (real one). Those two are easy to prepare so I love them twice more for that.

Considering sweet stuff, I'm not sure how local those are:

And this (rum ball):

Both (as for store bought) were much better in the past.

And this (cottage cheese ring):

Two foods I have found here in the Philippines which are far better than their US counterparts: potatoes and chicken.

Best local food: mango shakes.

 

[Takhisis]

Argentina has excellent food: Asado, great pastries, good pizza, empanadas, tamales, locro… you name it, I'm in for a try of whatever these people offer.



Para, this thread is about food.

 

[Joecoolyo]

Deep dish.

There isn't much that is particularly awesome in Ohio, especially not in Columbus. Cincinnati is famous for it's chili (though I don't even like their style, preferring the Tex-Mex stuff) and Cleveland has a lot of good Eastern European places.

I'm just going to expand local to the Midwest in general and steal Italian Beef from Chicago.

 

[Quintillus]

The most distinctive food from where I am now are cheese curds. They aren't bad, but I don't think I like them well enough for them to be a favorite.

I'm originally from Ohio, though. I'll agree with bombshoo that Cincinnati chili isn't very good (in my book, at least), but I always seek out some Columbus thin-crust pizza when I'm there. Can't get pizza like that in most of the rest of the country.

Most of my family lives in St. Louis, which is famous for its thin-crust pizza. That said, I hate thin-crust, even though I have it every time I visit

Geoduck. +1 internet to whoever knows what this is.

It's spelled geoduck and it's the giant clam that looks like very phallic.

I hear they are quite good. I know they are local, but are they expensive in the Pacific North-West?

 

[CavLancer]

Mangoes, mangoes, and mangoes.

You beat me, I was coming right back into here to fix that! Yes, they taste great.

Coffee milk.

 

[Kraznaya]

 

[GinandTonic]

That looks like a really poopy burger.
