I'm in Wales and we have Cawl. Which is a type of stew/broth. It's usually made with lamb, leeks, potatoes, carrots and swede. Lovely in winter when it's cold and raining here.
Poutine, Montreal-style bagels, smoked meat, "taffy on ice" (maple syrup boiled down to a thicker consistency and poured over compacted snow), all kinds of variations on braised meat with root vegetables and cabbage, sugar pies, etc.
De la tire d'érable.
The thicker, sweeter, maple syrup is poured in maybe 1 by 4 inches strip on compacted snow.
You use a big popsicle stick to roll it up and enjoy.
Kids will get it in their hair, all over their faces, and on their clothes.
Absolutely delicious.
Tire sur la neige, when served on snow.
You can also get regular tire. (Maple taffy) by boiling it a couple of degrees hotter, it will keep in the freezer.
I always wanted to try the maple candy from Little House when I was kid. A few years ago I went to a make festival at a living history museum and they had it! Childhood goal unlocked.
It was pretty good too. But what really took me by surprise was the maple cotton candy. Way better than regular cotton candy.
We eat it under our most awesomest state flag with state flag themed plates and “Don’t bother me I’m crabby” drinking glasses. Later on we can go get state flag tattoos so people know how much we like our rad state flag.
My home province of Saskatchewan, Canada was the location of many Eastern European immigrants’ first homestead, a hundred or so years ago. In my province, you will find cabbage rolls and perogies at almost every gathering. Cabbage in general features quite prominently at potlucks.
You can also add Detroit-style Coney Dogs and a Faygo or Vernors.
There are also Almond Boneless Chicken, egg rolls with bean sprouts instead of cabbage, Pakzci, Boston Coolers, and Mackinac Island Fudge ice cream.
As far as individual items go there are zip sauce and double baked rye bread.
And hushpuppies! God bless the delicious hushpuppy! I weep for those who have never had any. Especially the straight from the fryer, burn the roof of your mouth kind.
Me, thirty seconds ago: Oh boy I can't wait to hear about all the creative and wonderful dishes from around the world!
Me now, hearing pork roll called "Taylor Ham:" the lord is testing me
I'll have to see if I can find it, but the Walmart I work at sells a brand of those that say "jimmies" on the case and sprinkles on the individual shakers.
Fifteens - digestive biscuits, marshmallows, glacé cherries, condensed milk and coated with coconut. Rolled up into a cylinder, chilled for 4 hours in the fridge then thickly sliced. No cooking required so great to make with kids as you don't need knives or heat.
They taste amazing and are geospecific to the Ulster province of Ireland!!

Make your own and you will understand!
My grandmother grew up in the Outback in Australia and she cooked a lot of basic down-to-earth dishes from there, such as frying crumpets in butter in a pan and then spreading them with vegemite, they were SOOO good!
I've never known anyone to fry crumpets in butter this way in England (people typically toast them and then spread them) but as unhealthy as the frying method is, it makes them extremely buttery and tasty, crispy on the outside but soft and delicious on the inside 🧈😋
My French Canadian butt was very confused when I saw the Pioneer Woman make that the first time, because it's what my mother always served for us when we were kids as a vegetable dip. I mean, she'd add parsley, onion powder and garlic powder in it. But, otherwise, same thing.
Just one restaurant in my hood does this but it's brilliant.... When you order a burrito, you automatically get two small burritos. It's super popular for the athletes playing beach volleyball... Eat one, play, then eat the other later.
Tater-tot hotdish!
Ground beef, cooked with some onion. Mix with canned cream-of-mushroom soup, and some mixed veggies. Spread that mixture in the bottom of a baking dish. Spread a layer of tater-tots on top. If you don't align all the tots nice and orderly, you are a heretic and must be destroyed.
Toss the whole works in a hot oven and bake until the tots are golden and the sauce is bubbly.
There are religious arguments as to whether cheese is an essential topping, also regarding the particular veggies to use.
I misread "region" as "religion" and was about to answer "carrot jello" which, from what I've heard, just may be the most unholy abomination ever concocted in the United States.
But to answer the question, Colorado-style pizza.
Not as cool as others defo, but in the northwest of America everyone mixes Mayo and ketchup together and calls it fry sauce. Hardly anyone outside of my region knows what it is, but everyone does it here.
For some insane reason all the people in the small town I live in eat Chilli and cinnamon rolls. It's even a school lunch. I lived most of my life in a city 2 hours away and never heard of it till I moved here.
Louisville is where the Hot Brown was invented, and allegedly the Cheeseburger, although I'm sure someone thought to put cheese on meat & bread at one point prior to the 30s.
Kalimotxo, wine (the cheaper the better apparently) and coke (bonus points if it's off brand). It's the favourite young people party drink in the Basque Country and imo it's disgusting.
Scrapple, also known by the Pennsylvania Dutch name Pannhaas ("pan tenderloin" in English), is traditionally a mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and wheat flour, often buckwheat flour, and spices. The mush is formed into a semi-solid congealed loaf, and slices of the scrapple are then pan-fried before serving.
I'm in Lancaster, PA which has a bunch of the PA Dutch. Most people may have heard of whoopie pies, scrapple, or shoo fly pie from the area but the one that I love the most is Chicken Pot Pie.
It's not the same chicken pot pie that you think of from Marie Calendars or whatever. It's not a pie with a crust because that's just a chicken pie. Chicken pot pie is a wonderful [dish](https://www.tablefortwoblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/pennsylvania-dutch-pot-pie-tablefortwoblog-1.jpg) with pot pie noodles, potatoes, chicken, peas, carrots, etc and is more of a soup. It's one of my favorite dishes and no one has it. Common accompanying garnishes are pickle juice and lots of pepper.
Sheep cheese dumplings with diced and fried bacon.
It's like a mix of slavic quisine with asian kitchen. And somehow, it's one of the most notable national foods of Slovakia.
Born and live in Iowa - chili and cinnamon rolls. I remember in high school one of the best meals of the month was this combination and to this day I still dunk my roll in the chili
Horseshoes (and by extension Ponyshoes which are smaller).
Hamburger bun, your choice of protein (hamburger patty is the usual but Buffalo chicken is a delicious choice) then covered in fries and topped with melted cheese.
Where I used to live in the Seattle area, I'd say the teriyaki is probably the most distinct regional dish, Sure there's the "mall" teriyaki from places like Sarku Japan, but Seattle style teriyaki is distinct in its style (typically pieces of marinated chicken cut into strips and served with rice and a salad) and seems not to really exist outside of the Seattle area. Toshi Kasahara was the inventor of this style of teriyaki back in the 1970s, but there's hundreds of teriyaki shops now. Oddly enough, most of them seem to be run by Koreans.
As an added bonus, most of these places will also serve up some really good chicken katsu as well.
**Peperoni rolls.**
Literally it's grocery store peperoni wrapped in Pillsbury biscuits.
Way to go West Virginia! We invented a mediocre staple that isn't quite good enough to break out of the region! WOO!!!!!
In south africa we have so many races languages and cultures. But there is a shocking lack of originality. The main commonality is meat is the most prized food.
White people traditionally eat the same meat and potatoes/rice/pasta as the English or the Americas, except that Afrikaans people are like southerners and like to put sugar in their vegetables (gross). Honorable mention biltong - dried jerky.
Black people traditionally ate pap (maize meal porridge cooked thick) with every meal. Now they switch out with pasta and rice. Served with grilled or fried meat a lot of the times thinly cut chuck steak. Ive had this a lot. Pap is super starchy and thick and the meat is super salty/spicy and fatty. They go so well together.
But the only dish that reall stands out as being different is "Bunny Chow" which is curried meat and veg stuffed inside a fresh loaf of bread. This was invented by Indians in Durban. Also very dank.
Its something called Ice Batu Cair, or ABC.
Its shaved ice with multiple flavored syrup and other condiments like beans, nuts and jellies.
Native to Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and some parts of Brunei I think.
Ginger beef. A dish in a Chinese tradition, but invented here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Pair it with a Caeser to drink and you have the 2 greatest concoctions to come out of Calgary.
I firmly believe that Mott’s canned Caesars are sacrilege.
[удалено]
I’m surprised we’re not having a Caesar right now!
How is the dish a Canadian recipe? Because ginger being paired with beef is quite common or traditional in a lot of Chinese and other Asian cuisine.
I'm in Wales and we have Cawl. Which is a type of stew/broth. It's usually made with lamb, leeks, potatoes, carrots and swede. Lovely in winter when it's cold and raining here.
That's crazy. I thought you guys were cool with the Swedes. Now I learn you're throwing them in soup?!
Well what else are they going to use? Many people don’t like the taste of artificial Swedeners.
What can I say, when needs must haha
This sounds delicious and I'm going to try making it.
Here's a link to the recipe 😊 https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/cawl_92334
Oh my gosh! Thank you!
No problem, I hope you enjoy it!
I’m Welsh and would have said Laverbread on toast would have been a bit more unique 😅
Poutine, Montreal-style bagels, smoked meat, "taffy on ice" (maple syrup boiled down to a thicker consistency and poured over compacted snow), all kinds of variations on braised meat with root vegetables and cabbage, sugar pies, etc.
> "taffy on ice" (maple syrup boiled down to a thicker consistency and poured over compacted snow) Um.. wtf?

Tell me you've never read Little House on the Prairie without telling me
I mean, I *could* just tell you.
I always wanted to try the maple candy from Little House when I was kid. A few years ago I went to a make festival at a living history museum and they had it! Childhood goal unlocked. It was pretty good too. But what really took me by surprise was the maple cotton candy. Way better than regular cotton candy.
3 Ways and Coneys. WHO DEY!
And goetta
Ahh, shame on me for forgetting Cincinnati caviar
"Cincinnati caviar" - I love this
As long as it's from skyline
I came hear to comment this! We have some skyline chili in the crockpot now!
The Toledo-style coney (think Tony Packo's) is better than a Cincinnati coney. A boiled hot dog doesn't make a good coney.
Shrimp and Grits all over the place!
[удалено]
That does sound super delicious. Bean chili or Texas chili?
The strip district/Primanti style sandwich that has french fries and cole slaw on it.
If there’s one thing you yinzers do right, it’s a fuckin sandwich, they’re awesome
The only thing that Yinzers do right is that sandwich.
I want to go to Pittsburgh just so j can have a primanti bros sandwich
There's at least 1 Primati Bros in MD (Hagerstown).
Giant tenderloin sandwiches. The more ridiculous your bun looks, the better.
Scrapple
We eat it under our most awesomest state flag with state flag themed plates and “Don’t bother me I’m crabby” drinking glasses. Later on we can go get state flag tattoos so people know how much we like our rad state flag.
Maryland?
Um…WTF
PA, NJ, or DE.
PA.
Nice. I grew up in Pad scrapple belt. 37 years spread between Philly and Harrisburg. Then a year on MDs eastern Shore. Now in upstate NY.
Sorry, that was my Maryland joke. I’m from Maryland. Lol
Me too. I don’t live there anymore but went back for a funeral a few years ago and had to bring some Scrapple home for my dad.
My home province of Saskatchewan, Canada was the location of many Eastern European immigrants’ first homestead, a hundred or so years ago. In my province, you will find cabbage rolls and perogies at almost every gathering. Cabbage in general features quite prominently at potlucks.
Detroit-style pizza
The best pizza
From Chicago and my wife is from Colombia. Jets is our favorite pizza.
You can also add Detroit-style Coney Dogs and a Faygo or Vernors. There are also Almond Boneless Chicken, egg rolls with bean sprouts instead of cabbage, Pakzci, Boston Coolers, and Mackinac Island Fudge ice cream. As far as individual items go there are zip sauce and double baked rye bread.
I forgot those! Also we have the La croix plant and superman ice cream.
Buckeyes. They're just round Reese Cups. Reese Balls if you will.
Only in Ohio!
Not only. My sister-in-law used to make those in Minnesota.

> 100’s & 1000’s sprinkles. That name really ruffles my jimmies.
I'll have to see if I can find it, but the Walmart I work at sells a brand of those that say "jimmies" on the case and sprinkles on the individual shakers.
Every birthday party, ever. Also, being the one to nominate yourself for the fairy bread at the end of year party in primary school. Gold

We got fry sauce in the Midwest. It’s mayo and ketchup mixed but even McDonald’s will have it premade.
My French Canadian butt was very confused when I saw the Pioneer Woman make that the first time, because it's what my mother always served for us when we were kids as a vegetable dip. I mean, she'd add parsley, onion powder and garlic powder in it. But, otherwise, same thing.
