What's the most traditional food where you're from, and do you have a favorite...?

Question

...among foods typical for the country/area you live? Please share recipes if you have it too. I just love food and have tried so much but still can't get enough! I wish I could spend a month in every country in the world just learning about different food cultures and how to cook some genuine dishes, lol, did I mention I love food?

Thanks so much for sharing and have a great day! :)

Answer 2

Everywhere else in low country areas of South Carolina and Georgia it's known as purlo (sp?) but in Horry county, SC it's known as Chicken Bog. It's chicken, sausage, and rice and I absolutely love it. You make it by boiling the chicken and sausage together with onions and spices for about an hour then you remove the meat, take the meat from the bone, then cook the rice in the broth you just made. I usually put the meat back in while I'm cooking the rice, gives more flavor. For a genuine experience, you should serve this with collard greens and homemade biscuits.
Ooh!!! Speaking of biscuits, instead of eating them with butter, put either cane syrup or corn syrup in a bowl, mix with butter and break up your biscuit in the syrup. That's a perfect end to this meal. Be sure you drink sweet iced tea with it.

Answer 3

My background is Greek, and typical cuisine from my culture is:
-Dolmades = Rice and mincemeat wrapped in vine or cabbage leaves
-Mousaka = Lasagne with eggplant slices
-Spanakopita = Spinach triangle pastries
-Tiropita = Fetta cheese pastries

Theres plenty more, and desserts aswell.

Being born in Australia however, the typical food that comes to mind is your meat pie, chiko roll (oversized processed chicken nugget), sausage roll (unidentifiable meat cocktail mince in pastry).
But in actual fact, we have some amazing produce here food wise, and being so multicultural, daily dining has a varied influence. Since the first migrants to this country were from colder climates such as England, we have a penchant for roast meals also, and are big on barbeques (esp in Summer).

Answer 5

Though I don't eat this, a typical soul food meal consists of fried chicken, greens (usually collard, mustard or turnip), homemade macaroni and cheese and sweet potatoes. Cornbread is usually a side...and for dessert, peach cobbler, or sweet potato pie.
I don't think is too much a regional thing...I think that black Americans everywhere can identify with a soul food dinner.

Answer 6

Sunday roast dinner is traditional where I live in Britain.

It consists of:
Roasted meat (usually chicken, beef, lamb, turkey or pork)
Crispy roast potatoes
Boiled veg: greens, carrots etc
Yorkshire pudding
Gravey
On occasion stuffing balls & mashed swede

It's such a nice meal to share with friends and family.

Answer 7

I was born and raised in Iowa, and we had good hearty food cooked fairly simply like meat loaf, fried chicken, chicken & dumplings, pork chops...usually fried, tuna casserole, beef stew, spaghetti, mashed and baked potatoes, fried fish (my dad loved to fish), macaroni & cheese, many fruits and vegetables both raw and cooked.

My mother loved to try new things occasionally. Once we had frogs legs (which were very good), and one thing I'll never forget LIVER CASSEROLE with liver, potatoes, carrots, onions and peas! Everything in it tasted like liver. Horrible stuff! She never made that again. LOL

Answer 8

Well, I come from the land down under and we love our aussie BBQ's. Common main meals would be bangers and mash (sausages and mashed potato), steak and three veg, meat pies, vegemite sandwiches, pavlova and lamingtons just to name a few.

Answer 9

I was born and raised in Iowa too! I'd say Iowa cut pork chops, and sweet corn with tons of butter. And you can't beat the church women's cherry pies. Reminds me of summers in Iowa.

Answer 10

Himmel un Aed, which is the west german dialect name. In proper german it would be "Himmel und Erde", which means "Heaven and Earth".

It's fried apples (heaven, coz they're up on the tree), mashed potatoes (earth, coz they're in the ground), and with that you have fried onions and fried black pudding (blood sausage... yes, I know... I guess you have to grow up with it to like it).

Reminds me of home...
