What food is associated with your country?

[zeegler]

So I'm bored again.

What food do you associate with your country or region?

In Canada we don't really have a country-wide thing. I guess many people would say Canadian bacon, but we really hardly ever eat it, and in fact, we call it back-bacon anyway.

Since I'm actually English anyway, I'll say that with England, it's fish & chips, trifle for dessert, and a pint of bitter.

Here in America it's either Mexican or Italian...

Oh the irony...

You forgot Maple Syrup and Poutine! Not together of course, that would just be wrong.


Here in Winnipeg we have a few local faves that we are sort of renown for.

Alycia's Periogies are super popular. John Candy used to have them flown to him in California one a month.

Salsbury House restaurants are a local staple since the '50's. Burton Cummings bought a share of the company a few years ago. They make excellent diner-style food. They have these little burgers they call "nips" that are awesome. If you come to Winnipeg, you have to go to Sal's at least once.

It's not even Turkish food, but Turkey's associated with kebab,somehow.Just like Bengal's example.

Texas Barbeque and Tex-Mex, umm yum. This post is making me hungry

Supposedly the most popular dish in Britain is now the Chicken Tikka Masala. Which is kinda cool, ethnic diversity and all that. However, my part of the UK is usually associated with clotted cream and cider. (Not necessarily in the same glass)

Actually, America is associated with the Hamburger, thanks to the worldwide proliferation of McDonald's, or the Hot Dog (commonly found at baseball games). I guess we're fairly well-known for pizza, even if it's noting more than the unlimited variations of it.

Fried chicken (KFC), barbecued beef or pork, meat cooked on a metal grill over an open flame, or on a spit in a pit.

Speaking of McDonald's, thanks for not doing your part to stop the worldwide domination of McDonald's. Really, I appreciate it. It makes me all warm and fuzzy to know that no matter where I go in the world, no matter how many different cultures I may encounter, I can always find a McDonald's to avoid, and a wannabe gangsta to go with it.

Here's a tip for everyone outside America: if it's associated with welfare junkies and rap in America, storm your local Government agencies to block it from corrupting your country like it has ours.

Save yourselves from the hell we wallow in.

Hehe, I came to Canada back in 1982. That was right before chicken vindaloo became the national dish of England. :ROTF:

Actually around here (southeast Ontario) I'd say chicken wings are one of the most popular foods especially at bars. That's probably because we're so close to Buffalo.

Definitely burgers and fries for the U.S.

fish and chips for England
haggis for Scotland
Guiness/potatoes for Ireland
baguette/wine for France
beer and pretzels for Germany
chocolate for Switzerland
pasta for Italy
curry for India
sushi for Japan
tacos/burritos for Mexico

We also eat lots of "crow."

You forgot Maple Syrup and Poutine!

I'm from VT and we are big on Maple Syrup and Cheese. Since I live close to the border I make the trip to Canada pretty frequently. I first had Poutine there when I was about 15 or so and damn I gotta say that stuff is killer.

I believe the eggplant is worshiped in Italy...mine would be!!
