Käsespätzle and Spezi (das Original von Riegele)
Thin crust pizza with provolone cheese
Toasted ravioli
Gooey butter cake
Budweiser/Bud light
Shawarma and a Vodkow martini.
This is how we explain storm watches v. storm warnings, for reference:
Edit: Second choice would be a Killaloe Sunrise and an Old Style Pilsner. Both are ok, on the simpler side, and people often loudly argue that the fancier alternatives with more toppings and complexity are better.
Hol up. I’m in Nova Scotia / Halifax and our thing is the Donair apparently. How many Canadian cities food claim is shaved meat wrapped in a wrap type thing?
The differences are subtle, but important:
-Donair sauce is sickly sweet (imo, I hate donair sauce) and made with condensed milk.
-The spices used on the meat are different.It’s a good question, though - I’ve always associated donair with Halifax, and shawarma with Ottawa (it’s more a ubiquity thing than anything else). Does any Canadian city lay claim to the gyro?
Is that the same thing as the German/Turkish Döner?
Similar, but with differences (slightly different non-meat additions, often with a yogurt sauce rather than the condensed milk donair sauce).
Basically a Canadian variant of the döner kebab. The wiki entry has some useful background: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donair
(I’m sorry Halifax, I also think the sauce is gross 😤)
Beer and fish, I guess
Thin, crispy, square cut pizza. And probably an Old Style. But I wish we were better known for our abundance of great craft beer.
There’s a few tourism foods we’re very well known for, but the locals would get the above choices.
It’s tacos and energy drinks.
- Central California
Sweet tea and fried okra would definitely win, but personally, I’d like to see fry bread win.
Not today, FBI… Not today
my local area is typified by PURE CLEAN WATER
So that rules out most developed areas.
Green Chile, and various food items smothered in green chile, with a craft beer from one of the kajillion small breweries we have around here.
Pickled herring, new potatos, sour cream and chive, oh and strawberries.
At least during midsummer.
But on christmas we have pickled herring, potatos, sour cream, chive and cold smoked rain deer meat.
Sounds like Sweden, or one of its neighbors. Was I close?
Exactly right!
Tacos (really good ones like a proper al pastor or birria) and a strong frozen margarita.
Beer, fries or chocolate, hmmm. I should first taste them all again, just to be sure.
Well your instance kind of gives this away even if your answer didn’t make it obvious.
I was fresh awake and happy to be spoiled for choice 😀. The answer is, was, and always will be fries.
In my country, the most renowned chefs all work at a hardware store
Went to one the other day, no snags out the front. Devo
Philly: A cheesesteak, hoagie, or Italian roast pork (with broccoli rabe, roasted hot peppers, and sharp provolone cheese) sandwich, and a citywide special (traditionally a 12oz PBR and a shot of Jim Beam for $5)
Yuengs & Wings (which rhymes) would be another solid choice
For the kids, maybe a birch beer and a soft pretzel
Don’t forget pork roll and scrapple
(Actually let’s forget scrapple, it’s disgusting)
It’s gonna be poutine isn’t it? Or maybe ketchup chips. Anything but the fucking Caesar (why clamato???)
Caesar is so good but the store brand clamato sucks, too thin.
I’m sorry but seafood does not belong anywhere near alcohol
I’m looking at you too, Mexico. Micheladas are delicious but hold the clamato.
Seafood belongs near alcohol. But like, adjacent to it. In a separate serving format. Preferably in some sort of batter.
…I hate this thread, now I want fried clams and a beer.
That’s what the Worcester sauce is for, gotta be generous with it
oué pis bonne St-Jean mon chum!
Ah mais chu ta voisine à l’ouest, dsl :( Est-ce que chu toujours ton chum 🥺
Or Nanaimo Bars! But I live in Australia now, so I guess it’s snags and Vegemite toasties.
I do love me a Nanaimo bar, though I dislike when they’re too sweet. Honestly dark chocolate works best for those. Also love tiger paw ice cream
I’m the same. It’s been years since I bought one, so I just make my own to my own sweetness preference.
How about beaver tails / horse blankets / whale tails? With just plain ol’ cinnamon and sugar.
