What are your favorite and special foods in your country?

I know we all speak English which is the official language of the internet here but it still doesn't mean all of us stay at the same place.Proof that i've seen many people here speak more than one language and i myself have also come to this site with english as my second language so wherever nation you might come from,why don't you let me know what your favorite traditional foods of your country?

Here are some of what i love in my hometown.

This thing called Pho(i think it's unnecessary to say more about the fame of one of the best noodle in the world.If you never heard about it either you're from another world or had been living in the cave for your whole life)


Nem chua(a dish made of pork, use the enzymes of the leaf to ripening,i don't know how it called in english so i just keep the original name}


Dog meat{an important part of our traditional cuisine along with Korea and China}
inb4 cruel


Let's introduce your dishs to the comunity,remember to include a photo in your post at least and i might post more later.

i wonder if it's the same as that way to 'cook' sea food with citric acid(i can't remember what it's called, but i'm pretty sure it's spanish).




even though i have never had less than two dogs at a time(usually quite a few more than that) my entire life, i have often wondered what they taste like. do different breeds have different flavors? are some more tender/tough than others? i even had one dog that was so stupid and useless*, the only thing i could think of to do with him was eat him(my mouth still waters just thinking of him), but my mom had him put down by a vet before i could figure out the most humane, least damaging way to off him.


as for food from my country...
my dad's side of the family comes from the middle of the U.S. from what i remember from visiting his parents and other relatives, no meal is complete with out some kind of bread. i love bread. all kinds, sourdough, rye, wheat, potatoe, corn... i even like to eat only bread for a meal.



*[size=10]before anyone freaks out or thinks i'm a cold hearted jerk, my family has been breeding, training, and showing dogs since before i was born. so when i say he was useless, i know what i'm talking about. he was a rescue so i can't be sure, but i suspect he was inbred for several generations in a row. neither positive nor negative reenforcment worked. out of the twenty something dogs i've had, he was the only untrainable one.

It's ceviche.

That one food that I would always eat whenever I go back to my real hometown for holiday purposes, Asam Laksa. I love this food so much because of its mixture of spicy and sour.

Since their are so many foods from the US of A. I am going to go with my favorite foods of California. Of course the California burrito (a carne asada burrito with french fries inside), Cioppino ( a seafood soup...tastes great)

I'd say Nasi Goreng, a real spicy one. It's your typical Indonesian food. It's simple yet tasty and filling.

Biscuits and gravy and fried green tomatoes. Tri tip is close.

Second to that, my favorite food since long ago. Not born in Indonesia, but I like the spicy flavor. It's mostly just a fried rice, but there's something that makes it kinda different.

Since I'm stationed at both the European offices of the company I work for 9 months out of the year I'll just list both of the countries.(From the USA but working under contract with couple of our European partners.)

Germany-Bavaria(they eat like cavemen but have the most beautifully enginneered cars.)
Sauerkraut
Kartoffelsalat(potato salad for those English speaker)
Beer-Technically it's a drink but those German beers (esp those Bavarian brews) fill you up.
Schweinshaxe-Pig knuckle or ham hocks in the US.
Wursts-Weisswurst, knackwurst, and etc

France
Mille feuilles
Éclair-Everyone know what they are
Mousse au chocolat-Chocolate mousse eh...
Wine-Again not food but a type of drink but everyone thinks of France when someone says wine.
Cheeses-Various cheese that are well aged and quite strange.

To start off, I live in the States, but these are just traditional dishes in my family.


This dish is known as "Kielbasa". It's basically sausage, but Polish.



This dish is also Polish, it's called "Haggis", which is sheep's stomach.

Hate to break it to you, but haggis isnt Polish, its Scottish. Its like their national dish.

I'm gonna start off with I live in the US, so my choices will be centered around that.
Biscuit, eggs and sausage
Hamburger or Hotdog(or course)
Waffle
Chocolate chip cookies (cookies in general)

I'm not exactly sure if these foods were originated in America or not, if not, please say.

Yeah I would definitely pick Pho as one of my favs in my country.
Goi Cuon is pretty good too, withouth the shrimp though. Especially with the peanut sauce which makes it delicious!

Im in Canada...

so Poutine and beaver tails all day everyday.

pho is indeed amazing. I was thinking of making it sometime soon - you got a good recipe, perchance?

never tried out Goi Coun though. looks tasty

well I usually just go to a pho restaurant and order to go. It's kinda hard to make form scratch. sorry :/
and yeah you should try goi cuon, they sell them at pho restaurants too

dunno where the pho resterants are in England D:

I did make pho once earlier with a friend in scotland from scratch. That was very tasty

well it's not from where i currently live but its a Maltese dish called Pastizz or Pastizzi as is the plural the way i make em about once a year i make meat ones and ricotta cheese ones. There a pretty fun thing to make and its one of those nice yearly traditions

I really enjoy Ba Bao Zhou (8 pearl soup/porridge). It's a Chinese food, but it's great to eat on cold days and it fills me up very well.
