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.

Sweet tea and fried okra would definitely win, but personally, I'd like to see fry bread win.

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 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days 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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days 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

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

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 3 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Green chile is life.

Thin, crispy, square cut pizza. And probably an Old Style. But I wish we were better known for our abundance of great craft beer.

There's a few tourism foods we're very well known for, but the locals would get the above choices.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Tacos (really good ones like a proper al pastor or birria) and a strong frozen margarita.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Beer, fries or chocolate, hmmm. I should first taste them all again, just to be sure.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well your instance kind of gives this away even if your answer didn't make it obvious.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I was fresh awake and happy to be spoiled for choice 😀. The answer is, was, and always will be fries.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Irish Coffee and Mission Burritos.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 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.

Sounds like Sweden, or one of its neighbors. Was I close?
