National Dish/local delicacies

I'm currently enjoying one of the things that keep me on the lump of floating moss known as Ireland.

A sausage and bacon soda.....a large bit of soda bread (another one of ours) fried with fried bacon and fried sausage......an entire Ulster fry was available inside one, but really there's a limit to what I can handle in one sitting these days.

Alledgedly soda bread is the only reason we aren't all dead by 15 from heart attacks brought on by all te Ulster fries, soaks up fat and carries it our apparently.

I could no more live without soda bread and potato bread than air and water.

I do not like cheesesteaks.
I do like soft pretzels. I also like scrapple (which tastes kinda like black pudding)

Most of all I like something from Spotnick's neck of the woods.

which incidently is easily made with beef bisto and some bbq sauce. I couldn't find cheese curds at netto so I used some red leicester.

I know in Liverpool they eat 'scouse'

In manchester we eat 'scousers'

don't know how to upload pictures

but i like:-

chop suey rolls. mixed grills liver dinners (minus the liver) salt n pepper ribs

& chips/fried rice halfy half with soya sauce from pani's chippy on Breck Road after the match ~~DEE LISH !! :p :p

i'll tell you what though.

i've eaten kangaroo, shark and emu. and all were dead yummy.

forgt to mention crispy duck with pancakes and that brown (eeeyuk) sauce. i could do with a quick duck

Saw a lot of Cuy in Peru (fried guinea pig), didnt fancy it though. All the meat was attached to a Guinea Pig shaped structure, they even put legs and a face on it...weird

Ate a bit of Alpaca, lovely looking animal, cross between a llama and a sheep and very very tasty.

You call moose strange? We eat that alot here in Sweden. We hunt them in Oktober every year. Dunno how many are shoot though, but I think it's round 200.000. My granddad was a hunter, so when he was alive, we ate moose 3 times a week. Yummy.

Other than that, I think I'll have to mention swedish meatballs.

:D

Don't even joke about my boy!

And back on subject, Lancashire Hot Pot i suppose. Boring but tasty, tatty hash!

I'm really hungry since reading this thread, damn you all.

Bacon Roll Coronation Chicken Sandwich Crisps

Later, a traditional Burns Night Chicken Jalfrezi will be consumed.

take plenty of plasters for Burns night.

Mopane worms, deep fried - nice and crunchy with a nice squishy centre, hmm.. Or guinea fowl hung by its neck in the hot sun till it rots through, talk about melt in your mouth.

Dinner time over there is it?!

:barf:

Haddock, chips, salt and vinegar! Simple and delicious. NO I dont like cod, it's southern nancy bwoy food :)

i don't like any type of fish. it tastes like it's been soaking in water too long.

Don't drink water. Fish fuckes in it.

When I was a kid one of my favorite things to eat was 'chinese pie', made with ground beef, sweetcorn and mashed potatoes. I thought it was something my mom came up with till I found a reference to 'pate chinois' in a cookbook a few years back. I never realised it was a traditional Quebec dish, but it makes sense as my stepdad was French-Canadian.

I've started making it again (with veggie mince), very yummy!

i don't know if australia actually has any kind of national cuisine yet. currently they are big on what they call fusion i e a mix of asian and european. i suppose you could call the meat pie an aussie dish.

i should say we don't actually eat kangaroo here. we so shoot the buggers. the only place i actually ate roo was in germany.

as for the german stuff, i just love dumplings, sauerkraut and sausages.

I'll eat a cheese steak, but only if it's vegetarian - they do exist, believe me. I like soft pretzels, especially if they're not frozen from the box. Scrapple is nasty. Tasty Kakes are the best thing Philly has: The Coconut Juniors, Butterscotch Krimpets, and Banana creme pies are the best.

And as I've said before, nothing beats Canada Dry creme, black cherry, or pineapple sodas.

Seafood? Cow? Wild Game? All fit in with things regional here.

Um, there're these danish hotdogs that are encased in red dyed intestine that I'm absolutely addicted to, and I get them from a large Danish transplant community down south. Green boiled peanuts are a roadside delicacy in the southern American states.

My area's such a melting pot of cultures that I ate a few things my parents grew up on and the rest of my dietary needs were fulfilled by the thousands of immigrants from all over that settled in our area. Wasn't a day someone didn't bring over a new dish for us to try, and us likewise with them.

I'd say barbecue is a local dish, but some people may say Texans don't do it properly (I've learned that sauce turns out to be the biggest argument in the barbecue circuit.)

i had some turkish shashlik, or should that be kebab, for australia day.

I remember I went by train to a village just for my friend's shashlik that his dad was making on that day...
