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.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Not today, FBI... Not today

[–] match@pawb.social 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

my local area is typified by PURE CLEAN WATER

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 44 minutes ago

So that rules out most developed areas.

[–] myrmidex@belgae.social 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 points 36 minutes ago

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

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 hours 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.

[–] halfeatenpotato@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Irish Coffee and Mission Burritos.

[–] Baguette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Chicken teriyaki and coffee

My home state would probably be tacos and milk tea

[–] legopika@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 hours ago

Washington?

[–] JustAPenguin@lemmy.world 14 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] postnataldrip@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

San Diego… I’m saying a burrito and a Modelo

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (4 children)

It's gonna be poutine isn't it? Or maybe ketchup chips. Anything but the fucking Caesar (why clamato????)

[–] 5PACEBAR@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

oué pis bonne St-Jean mon chum!

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.

[–] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 hours ago

Rollkuchen and a Pine needle Gin.

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Breakfast tacos and Agua de Jamaica.

[–] medgremlin@midwest.social 2 points 8 hours ago

Minnesota: Honeycrisp apple hard cider and fried Ellsworth cheese curds.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 8 hours ago

Sweet tea and wet BBQ.

[–] Dequei@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 hours ago

Horchata and Paella

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Hmm birch beer and disco fries I suppose! Or salt water taffy.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 hours ago

Fried gator tail and a Malibu driver

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 hours ago

Cheese and beer. No contest. Everyone would.

[–] tipicaldik@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

Shrimp & Grits

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 11 hours ago

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.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago

Probably a Cuban sandwich and Cafe con leche.

[–] Justdaveisfine@midwest.social 12 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

... And of course a Dr. Pepper.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 3 points 8 hours ago

Hello fellow Kansas Citian!

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 11 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 hours ago
[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

Obviously pierogi and vodka

[–] theywilleatthestars@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

Chicago hot dog, surely. The deep dish pizza thing is exaggerated, but Chicago style hot dog is plentiful. Chicago style hot dog loves you. If you ask for ketchup you will have packets thrown at you disdainfully.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 8 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Smoked ribs with BBQ sauce (its always sweet baby rays) and Dr. Pepper

I don't currently live there but it is my permanent residence technically

[–] TheWeirdestCunt@lemmy.today 10 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Lexington style or GTFO

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

Vermont: A maple creeme (maple flavored, butterfat heavy, soft serve) and your choice of locally brewed beer. We’ve got a lot of craft breweries. I know Heady Topper has a cult following, but there are also other options.

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 2 points 10 hours ago

Weißwurst / white sausage.

Not absolutely unique, but very well-known and therefore pretty identifying for the state of Bavaria.

[–] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Theres no drink option other than overly hoppy IPA (gross, I know, but it is the pnw) and likely salmon on some mixed greens.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 5 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

I was wondering why there were so many IPAs up here. Didn't realize it was a regional thing. Recently moved to Portland

[–] Theoriginalthon@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

What I'd vote for: fish and chips What people actually want: McDonalds Because people are dumb

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 12 hours ago

Lake Huron Whitefish, asparagus, morels (dried from May) and strawberries all local today!

A craft lager and a local dry white wine.
