Thought I’d ask this because I want to discover more foods from across the world
(Also I shouldn’t have to say this to americans, please state where you are from and state where you are from without acronyms or shortened names because I’ve seen US Defaultism on lemmy and not all of us are going to know your acronyms considering we’re global users)
Potage au bonne femme.
Bunny Chow - South Africa (does not contain any bunnies)
It’s a ¼ or ½ loaf of bread hollowed out and filled with curry
There’s a version called kota (certain groups pronunciation of quarter, for quarter bunny) that is filled with chips (thick cut french fries), polony (bologna, I think), viennas (a frankfurter i think), cheese, tomato sauce, atchar (mango pickle), and sometimes russians (kolbasa, not the people). It’s the ultimate comfort food for me
Chicken nuggets.
Gooey butter cake. Dessert from St. Louis, Missouri, USA
I love Gooey butter cake but I think toasted ravioli is our best food. (Hi fellow Missourian! I’m from O’Fallon though.)
It was a difficult choice, believe me. I absolutely love t ravs but i think the cake just slightly edges it out for me. I do love stl pizza too but thats just too divisive :). Hi fellow Missourian! I’m out in the city myself but we’re all in the metro area either way
Canada doesn’t really have a local cuisine, unfortunately. Too much mutual cultural exchange with the US and too little history. Of the like three dishes to choose from, I do love a good Nanaimo bar. (That’s a layer of chocolate, on a layer of an icing-like custard concoction, on a thicker base of a coconut-chocolate crumbs)
Excuse me but we had moose maple chips once.
That wasn’t even my favourite one in the competition IIRC.
It wasnt very good tbh.
I forgot about Nanaimo bars. Omg I need to make some immediately.
I went to a bar in Nanaimo once. It was the Tally-ho. It was really divey when I was there. But it was that or go back to Cedar and hang out, and there was NOTHING to do in Cedar.
The baked treat is wayyyy better. Har har.
But it’s true – we’ve acquired a lot of different foods from people as they moved here, without a real image of our own. At least we can create mishmash of cultures and pick and choose some winners.
- dim sum with truffle oil and foie gras sounds a little posh
- street vendor $7 hot dogs with teriyaki and seaweed
- the iconic nanaimo bar
- candy-smoked coho
I guess someone’s gonna have to barbecue a gooeyduck street-side and call it iconic. I’m at a loss
jucy lucy. it’s like a cheeseburger but the cheese is inside the patty
Adana Kebab
Minced meat mixed with peppers, onion, garlic and tail fat, then cooked in strips covering the skewer. Served with lavash bread and onion salad, and if you’re grilling it you can grill tomatoes and peppers to go alongside with it.
With some fresh ayran on the side.
I’m Aussie but spent a few weeks in Turkey and I was in Heaven.
This sounds amazing
Vegemite and butter on bread.
Sourdough, toasted, then add some avocado smashed with a fork, maybe some cheese, fresh or sliced, alphalpha sprouts if you’re feeling fancy and a dash of lime juice.
Zang, thats great with morning black coffee.
Living in Valencia, paella valenciano is great, but for me the duck with rice is just… Amazing
Daeji Gukbab(돼지국밥)! You get it all over Korea but it’s especially famous in Busan where I live. It’s pork bone broth with meat served with a few toppings and a bowl of rice on the side. I always order the one with meat, intestines, and blood sausage. It’s very rich and savory and comforting. It’s also very cheap and often open 24hrs
székelykáposzta - its a hungarin stew with cabbage, i totally love this stuff
TexMex though really it stretches from southern California to Texas. Good tortillas alone are amazing but throw in beans and some kind of slow cooked meat like green chile pork and it’s perfect!
I’m from France, if I had to select one dish for you to try it would be duck confit with sarladaise potatoes (cooked in duck fat). In terms of calorie density it makes me think of Homer’s “I only eat food in bar form” meme. But so worth it.
It tastes awesome!! Look up images of it if you want. Black beans + sausage + carne seca (dried meat) is an amazing combo and I love this dish @w@
FYI your link formatting needs work, the closing brace is not used.
It works on my end (web client)
Nanaimo bars! I love sweets. Unfortunately.
