Answer 2

In the USA, most people probably think of hamburgers, fries and a milkshake or soda, or fried chicken, as the typical foods and drinks.

But the truth is that the foods and drinks that are typically consumed in our country are as diverse as the people who make it up. For example, pizza is consumed in great quantities, and that is certainly not a dish native to America.

In a week, I might have Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Italian, Middle Eastern, and Indian food. I know I eat these more often than what is usually considered "typical" American fare.

I was born in the MidWest but now live on the West Coast.

Answer 3

Because of our cultural diversity, there's a HUGE variety of "typical" food in Australia.

I suppose the most typical Australian food traditionally would probably be roast leg of lamb, and drink would be beer LOL. But we have access to so much varied cuisine that you could eat a dish from a different country of origin every night for a month and not repeat one . I love that.

A typical week for me tho would include wine to drink, (not a beer fan) Home cooked Asian stir fry or barbecue pork (my Chinese neighbor's yummy recipe) , at least one steak dinner or lamb chops, Greek Moussaka or Italian lasagne. Maybe a tuna bake, some pasta, fish and a roast. of some kind with baked potates, pumpkin, green veg & gravy.

I make sushi some weekends, and we will usually have a barbecue - ribs, sausages, steak, chicken, chops or seafood & all the trimmings

Answer 4

In the UK we've been influenced by many migrants over the years. Guess some of the traditional dishes are the following however it is difficult to suggest one as that is stereotyping . . . Bangers (sausages) and mash Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding Roast Pheasant Pie and liquer Spotted Dick (a pudding) Jam roly poly Shepherds pie Mushy peas ******* Haggis Welsh rarebit Scotch eggs Scones Stoved Howtowdie Cock_a leekie soup Cod and chips Kippers However if you're after the most popular dish eaten in the UK, I understand it is Chicken Tikka Masala!

Answer 5

Hi Moon..
I'm from a country where people do not feel satisfied before they have rice. So, it's rice 3 times a day, 7 days a week, 4 weeks or 5 a month, 12 months a year, for the rest of their life .. :-) We - I do not really do this - eat rice with fried noodles, rice with pasta, rice with potato... :-)

I'm now living in a country where vegemite is very much loved and enjoyed... :-)

Take care..

Answer 6

Well it used to be lamb or mutton, and beer. Or a meat pie for a day out at the races. Or fish and chips at the beach. Or prawns (Americans call them shrimp, I think) in Sydney, or crayfish (lobsters) in South Australia. We seem to export anything worth eating these days, and import replacements. So Nowadays typical food seems to be anything from inedible hamburgers and cardboard chips, to "Italian" pizzas they've never heard of in Italy - or frozen heat-ups from the supermarket - or restaurant exotica claiming special license for mean serves so you either feel satiated with rich sauces or have to find something else to eat when you get home. So in our place, we mainly eat fat free steak roasted or grilled for the good of my blood count. Although I suspect sheep is the only meat not shot full of chemicals and raised in pens. Poor feller my country - it doesn't know where it is, these days. But the wine is good - though what folk drink is mostly fashion. Isn't everything?

Answer 7

My country has too much food stalls that I do not know where to start. A multi-national nation with foods from Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, P.R.Korea, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, USA, Germany and even by our locals Singapore.

Food like Satay, Tom Yam, Sushi, Kim-chi, etc. Whatever you want to eat, it's just walking distance away from where I stay.

Cheers :)

Answer 10

I think in my town it is Basque food. We have 4 restaurants in our town of this food type. It is first served with a soup, salad, beans, green beans, spaghetti, a form of potato and then a huge 16 ounce steak of your choice! It is very very GOOD! To drink I thin it is either a cola product or beer.
