region specific food
on the South Coast of MA, we have linguica. It's a Portuguese semi-spicy salted pork product. And I love it. It's very common here. In subs. On pizza. Even linguica dogs. But I've been to places in RI (less than an hour away) where they have no f'ing idea what linguica is.
just curious about similar local foods other people have? Especially good ones. That I should try to eat. |
^^^ eww. the name makes me think that it's made out of tongue.
oklahoma: uhhh.....indian tacos? they are tacos made on native american flat bread. vietnamese pho? again, not specific to oklahoma but we have the second highest population of vietnamese in the US (next to westminster in orange county, california), and there's a shit-ton of pho restaurants. beyond that, I'd say, "any food specifically engineered to give native americans diabetes". |
Pittsburgh is very Polish, so Kielbasa and Pierogies are very popular.
Also, there's the Primanti Brother's Sandwich: http://images.google.com/url?source=...1oQzkb13 ZEUg |
I suppose the dishes most iconically associated with London are ...
Pie and Mash  and jellied eels:  They taste better than they look. I promise you. |
o, gawd....that gravy is GREEN for fuck's sake!!
I'm not even going to bring up those "eels". fucking savages. |
BBQ and lots of it, variation in sauces mostly. Mustard or vinegar based. I'm not sure otherwise. I don't of any real "regional" thing that is widespread over the Southeast.

Hotdish.
You guys probably call it a casserole. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotdish My mom's personal variant on this was: Ground turkey & Cream Of Mushroom Soup cooked in glass with chow mein noodles on top. I'm pretty sure "hotdish" is the most ridiculous and parodied Minnesotan/Midwestern food item. However, it does get weirder. A dessert at family functions (and this is common in this area): white rice w/whipped cream and canned fruit cocktail, served cold. I'm not kidding. |

 throw all kinds of winter vegetables in one pot and serve with the cheaper kind of meat (sausages or pig's legs.. vegetables include carrots, brussels sprouts and more of that stuff)  mashed potatoes and one or more vegetables (like carrots) and sausage.  steak and fries. i don't really like the traditional kitchen here, it's all heavy and the idea 'meat is the base of every meal' is way too common. this type of food isn't exactly very popular in restaurants anymore. |
Around here it's your typical steak and mashed taters kinda thing. Buffalo is really popular around here too.
|
Hmmm... Currywurst?
 Although it has spread to the rest of Germany now, I think... |
I thought this said "religion specific food" so I didn't click on it. Not sure there is much unique to this area though.

if any of you darken my door at 3:00 am i will treat you to breakfast
 |
where i come from:
provel cheese, the most delicious cheese on earth. it's great in eggs. pork steaks toasted ravioli (also so fucking good, one of my favorite foods ever) brain sandwiches (i've never eaten one and i never will, and yes it is exactly what it sounds like) |
Fried mars bar.
 Tasty as hell! |
a chip shop near me does these, they're great.

That's more like it. Classic Glaswegian cuisine. |
Cincinnati Chili.

what about the stonner kebab (pork sausage wrapped in doner kebab meat and deep fried)  |

You lie. I have not once in my life seen or eaten that. A common Minnesnowtan dessert is that shit with the fudge stripe bars, fruit, and whipped cream but white rice? Now you're just making shit up. |
I am not!
This is a thing that a lot of iron range types will be familiar with. Now, fudge strip bars...that's just fucked up. |
Where I'm from is largely comprised of people from Norwegian ancestry so we have a lot of shit like lutefisk, leftsa, etc. I don't eat any of it.
The best shit I've only seen in the midwest, though has to be beef commercials. A hot roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes on top smothered in gravy. Fuck. |
Quote:
Fudge stripe bars, snickers, or any other kind of candy shit. My fatass cousins eat that shit up like nobody's business. |
fried pizza, which is essentially fried dough but with sauce and cheese instead of powdered sugar. im originally from upstate ny, but not too many people know about this.
 but with mozz cheese on top |
Hot salt beef sandwiches are still fairly popular in Jewish areas of London.
 |
Jerky other than beef, deer is most popular.
Cornbread and milk Okra |

my family used to have a house in a tiny village in france where the butcher mainly sold organs. one of my earliest summer vacation memories is rows of little cups with brains in them. fascinating when you're four. |

i had the best moules frites in oostende.  ... but your right about belgian food... it's like more american than american food. steak americaine and frites for example  it's called "steak amercaine," but most americans wouldn't eat it... even though they love red meat, they don't even like it rare, let alone raw. |
