International Foods Exhibited--A Thread by Dale Wisely

Post the name and a photo of the food that best illustrates your nation’s culinary culture.

The United States of America:
Nacho-flavored Doritos

The United States of America:
Apple Pie

(at least, that’s how it should be :stuck_out_tongue:)

I’ll take #2 thanks!

duh! :laughing:

For non-germans, the ultimate stereotype:

Eisbein mit Sauerkraut und Kartoffelbrei

Grilled Bratwurst, ideally eaten with Senf and a piece of Weißbrot

…and a big, cool Weißbier… (I love it)



For me:

Classical Jägerschnitzel. :wink:

I prefer mediterranean and balkanese food though…german food’s often too heavy.

And the national anthem – Pi by The Alferd Packer Memorial Stringband

United States of America - Hot Dog

Unless you’re from Chicago - then it looks like this:

Oh, igittigitt. :slight_smile:

Texas style pit barbecue.

Paav Bhaaji (little buns and veggies).

I’ve been an American for more years than not, but I still love this dish from India.

This is not chocolate chip cookies. It is bean bread, a traditional Cherokee bread made from corn and beans.

On this board, how could we leave out the Ulster Fry? :laughing:

Cincinnati style chili:

aka - a Coney and a Three Way.

I knew I forgot something the last time I was in Cincinnati.

I don’t think there is a typical “American” food.

Irish Stew in the Name of the Law!

(Statue?)

That Ulster Fry looked a bit lean. Where was the Soda Bread? Where was the Wheaten Bread? Where was the Fried Slice? Was there any savoury Duck? And the Cup of Tea?

But you have to make do with some disappointing images.
Even this Irish Stew here, should be stewed for at least an hour longer.
You can still make out the individual carrots and chunks of meat, for goodness sake! It should be one very-nearly homogenous mass. Ideally.
Irish Stew with distinguishable components is for furriners.

Fish ‘n’ chips

Roast beef and Yorkshire Pud

Bangers and mash

Toad in the Hole

Cake and Sidney Pud

From Wikipedia:

"Other variations are found. A hot dog served with the addition of cheese is known as a “cheese hotdog” or simply a “cheese dog”. “Cheese dog” may also refer to a hot dog that contains processed cheese within the hot dog itself. A hot dog served with the addition of chili is typically known as a “chili dog” or “coney dog” in some areas (an exception being New York City’s Coney Island).

In Quebec, Canada this is known as a “michigan” due to its popularity and possible origin in that U.S. state."

They are sometimes called that here in Upstate NY too.When I first met my wife, who comes from Michigan, I found this to be one of the real regional linguistic oddities: In MI a certain type of hot dog is named after a NY location, and in NY state, that same or similar creation is named after the state of Michigan.
