Ask Lemmy

UK here and the best thing I can think of is a full English in a bun, there's a butty van near me where they taste amazing. it's basically a heart attack in a bun with how much oil is on there but it's so good.

Italy: It's really hard to beat pizza, maybe a good lasagna or a "cacio e pepe" pasta depending on the mood.

Switzerland: Fondue!

Bagna cauda, from Piemonte Piedmont north Italy

Delicious in winter, a cream made with a lot of garlic e anchovies, eat warm with vegetables or meat

Czechia and it's a tie between goulash (the Czech variety, not the Hungarian one) and Vepřo knedlo zelo.

Chicago Illinois USA here:

The two foods that scream “This is Chicago” to me are deep dish pizza and a Chicago style hotdog (poppy seed bun and a dog with mustard, chopped onions, tomato wedges, sweet relish, a pickle spear, and peppers, then sprinkled with celery salt).

As to which is my favorite, deep dish is definitely more unique and probably the better answer here, but man can I do love when the dogs are just right.

Australian here. I'm going with Vegemite with avo and toast. If I travel for too long, I end up missing it a lot.

Pepperoni rolls from West Virginia, and it's not even close. Simple and easy to make, last unrefrigerated, and I can eat about 40 of em if I'm not careful.

Burritos. Like most burritos.

South London, UK: doner meat and chips. Optional lettuce, onions and burger sauce.

Not exactly a dish, but a Pie or a Sausage roll followed by a Lamington.

Aternatively Tim Tams. (I'd like a chocolate biscuit. How much chocolate? Yes.)

Poffertjes!

Does British curry count? Cornish pasties are good too. Also cheese but that is more of an ingredient than meal.

One that's great just to see reactions to the name: leather britches.

But my favorite? There's something very comforting to having a bowl of soup beans. Chili's humble cousin is far more satisfying than it's got any right being.

For a crowd pleaser, though? Cornbread spread with apple butter. Listen to me, now: Do not sweeten the cornbread. Sugar in the cornbread is just cake.

Hard to say. NZ cuisine is like British cuisine, but it got stuck in the 80s.

The Flat White. But that’s not strictly food.

Or maybe a potato top pie.

From Arizona / Mexico:

Birria, especially Birria Ramen. It's slow cooked meat in a broth of spices and a bit of onion and Chiles. It's fall apart tender, and usually served with melted cheese (Queso Birria). But my favorite version is served on top of Tapatio Ramen. So it's fork tender beef with spicy noodles.

Really great on a cold day.

Funny thing is, I'm from the East Coast of the US, so actually have a bunch of favorites from there that are really worth giving a try too.

Especially a REAL Cheesesteak.

Shaved Ribeye cut thin and grilled on a hot surface for a char. Grilled and charred onions and green peppers. Add it to an Italian soft roll that's warmed, NOT toasted. Melt on top of it either Cheez Wiz (an Aerosolized Cheese snack that's awful by itself) or American cheese. Mix it all together on the bun along with a few slices of Italian peperonchinis and a couple dashes of celery salt.

Incredibly unhealthy, but quite an experience if you ever get to try one (or make one yourself! I'm literally eating one I made for dinner right now haha 😂)

I'm not from Lazaro Mexico, but let me tell you that the Mixtas there are the best food I've ever put down my gullet.

A store-made bagel, with 2 over-easy eggs and a thick slice of a spiced ham product called (pork roll) or (taylor ham), a slice of American cheese, and "salt, pepper, ketchup".

Commonly with bacon, sausage, or regular sliced deli ham replacing the meat. Sometimes with hot sauce instead of ketchup. The bagel can be any type, but is often "everything".

NYC area, mostly north New Jersey.

Belgium: vol au vent with Fries

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vol-au-vent

Furikake shrimp chips.

Green Chiliburger

It's just a cheeseburger with some good local new mexico green chili in it.

yum

Pork butt roast and sauerkraut. It's a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch recipe meant to bring good luck and fortune to the household on New Years. You simply season a pork butt with salt and pepper and put it in the slow cooker with a large container of saurkraut and cook on low til it shreds. Served with mashed potatoes, peas, and pork gravy. Guaranteed to give you a food coma.

For appetizers, I love beet-pickled eggs. It's essential to pickle them for 24+ hours to ensure the pink fully penetrates the egg white.

Living in japan. Sashimi/sushi would probably be my current fave. Not shocking, but true. Second would be all the lovely grilled fish and seafood we get here.

If from the US, so for that probably anything tex-mex.

Used to be Käsespätzle, but i had too much in december and november that i have grown sick of it.

Now i guess it would be A potato soup & apple noodle (not a pasta. A yeast dough with apple cinamon sugar filling

Boston baked beans. To my taste, good ones are cooked low and slow so that the beans almost start melting together, and they should be both sweet and tangy.
