What food is associated with your country?

[DonP]

Cincinnati has Skyline Chili http://www.skylinechili.com/ (and rival GoldStar http://www.goldstarchili.com/). Sort of a Greek chili I think - it's different than what I had in California. I think it has cinnamon in it. They put it over spaghetti as well as hot dogs (called coneys) with lots of cheddar cheese.

I'm not sure about Cleveland (where I spend 5 days a week) or Columbus (where I pass thru twice a week).

Guiness/potatoes for Ireland

The potatoes are more like to be had as colcannon, which is a combination of potatoes and cabbage:

Bacon and cabbage is also (historically) popular:

With all that cabbage, I think it's clear why we drink so much Guinness.

I thought it was the universal local food

Here, in the Northwest, it has to be salmon. And I don't like fish. So, in my region it's any piece of meat that is $1.99/lb or way less.

Arizona food? Anything with chipotle and cilantro in it! Here, the burrito be king. Of course, quesadilla, tacos and enchiladas are members of the court.

blood sausage
roasted pork
baltic herring
sprat
sauerkraut (sour cabbage)
black bread made of rye

Um yes, we all know what you are talking about. Round here it's called Rsmacker's Special Sauce, and is extra sweet because of all the pineapples I eat. Best served on a bed of cherry-nipples, and gobbled up nice and hot 'n' fresh by a filthy little jizz junkie minx you found down at Wetherspoons on Saturday night. No kisses afterwards though. No siree.

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.

Come on now Newc, they do have a very valuable place in society. When you are in some backward foreign hell-hole (France) and looking for somewhere civilised to have a poo, tracking down the local McD's and partaking in the inimitable McShit is one of the most pleasurable experiences. Lockable doors, flushable bog, bog seat, bog roll (which you don't have to manhandle into a minging litter bin beside you, you just drop it into the pan, simple!), it's just superb.

Just don't eat there. Fuck them!

If they had any sense they'd open a chain of McShitters, that don't sell food, just a line of proper 21st Century bogs, then you wouldn't have to get there 3/4 an hour before they open to beat the other Yanks/Brits who turn up with their morning paper under their arm, busting for a Tom-Tit. Nothing quite as off-putting as a toilet seat still warm from the sweaty Yank who just unloaded a jet-lagged super-size bumslug.
And nothing quite as painful as waddling round the foyer of McDs grinning and pretending to be choosing your food, whilst touching cloth, again, waiting for the Yank to finish his ablutions. Especially when you are circling round 2 other grimacing waddlers clutching yesterday's Sun, who you know are going to race you up those stairs as soon as Fatty Arbuckle appears out of the bog door.
Meanwhile a row of pristine uniformed foreigners marvel at the amount of people in the "restaurant" but no-one seems to be buying anything, they just wander round looking at the toilet area and rubbing their chin, trying to decide which meal to have. But never actually buying anything. Every day, 10am sharp. Zem crazy Eeenglish.

I bet Branson would be up for backing me on this, if Ronald McD isn't interested. I see big profits in comfortable Shitters.

Worcester Sauce (not food exactly, but turns bland stuff into nice food)
