Pepperoni rolls and Mountain Dew.

Cheese fondue.

A giant tasteless breaded pork tenderloin sandwich (a flattened pork chop, breaded, deep fried, and placed on a way too small bun) and a Busch light.

Note that this isn't an endorsement, but its the bullshit my area is known for and it fits.

A plate of beige with watery gravy and mushy peas

Cheesesteaks and yeungling

French fries and meth.

Käsespätzle and Spezi (das Original von Riegele)

Not today, FBI... Not today

my local area is typified by PURE CLEAN WATER

So that rules out most developed areas.

Shawarma and a Vodkow martini.

This is how we explain storm watches v. storm warnings, for reference:

Edit: Second choice would be a Killaloe Sunrise and an Old Style Pilsner. Both are ok, on the simpler side, and people often loudly argue that the fancier alternatives with more toppings and complexity are better.

Hol up. I’m in Nova Scotia / Halifax and our thing is the Donair apparently. How many Canadian cities food claim is shaved meat wrapped in a wrap type thing?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The differences are subtle, but important:
-Donair sauce is sickly sweet (imo, I hate donair sauce) and made with condensed milk.
-The spices used on the meat are different.

It's a good question, though - I've always associated donair with Halifax, and shawarma with Ottawa (it's more a ubiquity thing than anything else). Does any Canadian city lay claim to the gyro?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

(I’m sorry Halifax, I also think the sauce is gross 😤)

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Is that the same thing as the German/Turkish Döner?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Similar, but with differences (slightly different non-meat additions, often with a yogurt sauce rather than the condensed milk donair sauce).

Basically a Canadian variant of the döner kebab. The wiki entry has some useful background: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donair

Cincinnati chili and a rhinegeist.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Beer and fish, I guess

In my country, the most renowned chefs all work at a hardware store

Went to one the other day, no snags out the front. Devo

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

Around here I'd say beef brisket sandwich with sweet BBQ sauce.

... And of course a Dr. Pepper.

Philly: A cheesesteak, hoagie, or Italian roast pork (with broccoli rabe, roasted hot peppers, and sharp provolone cheese) sandwich, and a citywide special (traditionally a 12oz PBR and a shot of Jim Beam for $5)

Yuengs & Wings (which rhymes) would be another solid choice

For the kids, maybe a birch beer and a soft pretzel

Don't forget pork roll and scrapple

(Actually let's forget scrapple, it's disgusting)

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

scrapple is indeed disgusting, I'll take care of all the scrapple give it to me 👍

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

It's a Chicago dog and a can of Old Style, and it's not close.

Thin crust pizza with provolone cheese

Toasted ravioli

Gooey butter cake

Budweiser/Bud light

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Pickled herring, new potatos, sour cream and chive, oh and strawberries.

At least during midsummer.

But on christmas we have pickled herring, potatos, sour cream, chive and cold smoked rain deer meat.

Boiled crawfish and a cold beer. Or maybe turtle soup au sherry and a sazerac. Depends on the season.

I literally live where the "Pluot," a combination of a plum and apricot, was first bred. So it has to be that.

Personally, I don't like them that much. I'd prefer to have my plums and apricots separated, Tuvix style.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Dude too soon

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I love pluots and get excited on the rare occasions groceries near me have them. I'm a simple lady

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

Roast dinner and cider I think, idk if there's a more fitting combo for the British countryside

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Probably a Cuban sandwich and Cafe con leche.

(ETA if it has to be things that grow here, probably fried alligator bites and orange juice)

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Obviously pierogi and vodka

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Green Chile, and various food items smothered in green chile, with a craft beer from one of the kajillion small breweries we have around here.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago

Lived in the Denver area for a couple years, I miss the green chili, even though I have a shit tolerance for spicy food.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

Green chile is life.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Cheese and beer. No contest. Everyone would.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Probably barbecue ribs or pulled pork and cheerwine though I don’t like any of those.

Chicken and waffles though go hard. Add a cookout shake and I’m happy.
