Pepperoni rolls and Mountain Dew.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 4 points 18 hours ago

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.

[–] remon@ani.social 1 points 13 hours ago

Cheese fondue.

[–] LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 14 hours ago

A plate of beige with watery gravy and mushy peas

[–] JoeTheSane@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cheesesteaks and yeungling

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago
[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

French fries and meth.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Käsespätzle and Spezi (das Original von Riegele)

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not today, FBI... Not today

[–] match@pawb.social 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

my local area is typified by PURE CLEAN WATER

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago

So that rules out most developed areas.

[–] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] darksiderbun@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

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?

[–] darksiderbun@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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

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.

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

[–] postnataldrip@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

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

[–] sinnsykfinbart@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Beer and fish, I guess

[–] Justdaveisfine@midwest.social 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't forget pork roll and scrapple

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

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

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

Thin crust pizza with provolone cheese

Toasted ravioli

Gooey butter cake

Budweiser/Bud light

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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.

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.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 3 points 1 day ago

Dude too soon

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 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

[–] TheWeirdestCunt@lemmy.today 10 points 2 days ago

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

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 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)

[–] traches@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

Obviously pierogi and vodka

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago

Cheese and beer. No contest. Everyone would.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 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.

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pork BBQ and Collards. Finish it down with some Cheerwine.

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.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Mostly_Gristle@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Green chile is life.
