Does your area have local specialties or dishes you can only find in your region? Here in Kentucky the big one is Ale-8. Its not so big here in Louisville but in Lexington its essentially a religion. Its really just a type of Ginger Ale with a little bit of sprite flavor. Louisville's also in the Ohio valley so even though we're not in Ohio we still have Cincinnati chili. Cincinnati chili is one of the most divisive foods ever created. For starters its not actually chili. It's really more like Bolognese sauce but it was created by Greek immigrants so it has greek-style sauces instead of italian. Cinnamon, all-spice, a little bit of chocolate, then its served on either spaghetti or a hot dog. I have never in my life met someone who likes it the first time they have it. But once you try it a couple times a switch just flips and it tastes absolutely delicious.

The northern Midwest has “pasties” which are basically a meat pie w/ short crust pastry (think a chicken pot pie w/out the tin). They are loving amazing. Pronounced “past-ees”.

In Southern California we have this stuff called "Mexican food that isn't rear end-garbage for idiots". It hasn't made it to the other states yet.

BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:Does your area have local specialties or dishes you can only find in your region? Don' forget about Ski. You know you're deep in the middle of nowhere when you see bottles of Ski. It's a lemon orange soda and isn't all bad. Growing up in Louisville, I had no idea people ate chili without pasta. I think the time I had Skyline was about 10 years ago and it was bad but that may also be restaurants changingt to fast casual and using poo poo ingredients. I still like Bearno's pizza because you can't find that style or flavor anywhere else.

Toronto is too boring to have any of its own local food, but we do have literally any possible ethnic food you can think of and it's all super authentic so that's ok.The Walrus posted:for some reason toronto claims jamaican patties which, I will admit, are good. so sure, they're from here.

If I go further upstate there’s garbage plates, which are exactly what you would think someone from Rochester would eat. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Tahou_Hots It’s under the garbage plate section, it’s basically a mix of ground beef, sausage, carbs, more grease, sauce, and so on piled on until you go into cardiac arrest.

Not specific to Galveston where I'm at, but we have this killer muffaletta shop run by an actual mob family...the place smells like heaven cause it's also a spice shop.  core ingredient in a muffaletta is olive salad, and it's so goddamn good, also the things are enormous, one whole sandwich feeds 3-4 people

Southern Missouri, specifically Springfield, is the birthplace of cashew chicken. The story goes that an immigrant man from a Southeastern Asian country (which varies depending on the storyteller) was working as a chef at a country club in Springfield sometime in the 60s or 70s. Some regulars asked him to make something exotic, so he altered a very common Missouri staple, chicken and rice in gravy, and added cashew butter to the sauce. I make the traditional chicken and rice dish all the time, though over the years I've been making more of a sawmill style gravy (milk with black pepper and thyme) and have included lentils in it to help boost the fiber and nutrition. My kids love it.
