If I visited your country, province or state, what food would you recommend that I try?

Question

Oh my! I've gained 10 pounds just reading this list. All sound so yummy! Wish I could choose all answers.

Answer 1

here in France ? all of it, especially the cheese, wine and sea food

Answer 2

Come on down to GA and we'll enjoy some Low Country Boil! It's all done in one huge pot, everything added by the length of time each item takes to cook. Start with plenty of water with Old Bay seasoning and salt thrown in....then it's potatoes, halved ears of corn, smoked sausage, onions....and last, pile in loads of unpeeled shrimp. Usually done out-doors, and much like the clam bakes that we always had up in NY. Serving it is the best.....once it's been drained, the pot is dumped right on to a table that's been covered with brown paper, or even clean news paper!, and everyone just digs in. And while you're here, you need to try the fried chicken, pork barbecue, corn bread and red velvet cake...all wonderful too. Southern cooking may not be good for the hips, but it does wonders for the soul. And you can always work it off once you get back home!

Answer 3

Cincinnati, is home to a unique style of chili. We have chains like Gold Star, Empress and Skyline that serves it on a hotdog with cheese & onions or ya can get it on spaggetti with what we call a "3 Way' chili,spaggetti & cheese,"4 Way is with onions and a "5 Way" has beans added. We also have corner 'Mom & Pop' Greasy Spoons with their own recipe for this chili. Some have "cracked some of the code and it includes cinnnamon,chocolate. It is definately a taste treat here in Cinci!!! Oh yea, one time 2 guys got arrested for asking an undercover cop where they could get a "3 Way or 4 Way" and charged with solicitation of a prostitute. The judge let them go when they aid they were looking for a "Chili Parlor"

Answer 4

If you wait until February, and then visit the Ottawa area (our nation's capital), you should be able to take in the Winter Festival on the Rideau Canal.

If it has frozen nicely solid, the city cleans and prepares it for over 50 miles of it's lenghth. And then along the route (which you can skate along) you can take in the outdoor hockey games, or old fashioned ice waltzing or ice sculpture exhibits.

They have a whole slew of different activities to join in. And when you get tired you can warm up at any of the way-stations along the way with a hot chocolate and a beaver tail. They are quite delicious and known around the world. Here's a link...

Answer 5

I live in the quad Cities. which is Bettendorf, Davenport Iowa and Moline and Rock Island ILL. the two states are separated by the mighty Mississippi river. you can do just about anything from going onto the river boats to the many cultural things going on. Well since i do live in Iowa i would say the sweet corn and steak we have. We have this restaurant called the Iowa machine shed and the food its like you are eating at someones farm. fresh food and served family style. Being a big area though we do have foods from all over the world.Like i said we have many cultural events here and you can try just about anything.

Answer 6

Gracie, I'm loving it, I'll take a little bit of all your dishing out. It all sounds good to me.
Donya, I'll take your perogies, and cabbage rolls, Love them.

Here in California, we are of such a diverse population, I don't think we are really know for any particular dish that I can think of. It is really a eclectic mix of everything.
Unless you count the Original Sourdough French Bread from San Francisco. That's the only place that you can get it that good. Others have tried, but it doesn't taste the same. And believe me I am a born and bred California girl.

Answer 7

Well, we are a very diverse province and you could get just about any food from any country ,right here in the Greater Toronto Area. I would probably get you to try Ukrainian peirogies (cheese and mashed potato) in fried onions and bacon with sour cream and fried keilbossa. (my husband is of Ukrainian heritage )and I have come to enjoy these foods . I love cabbage rolls also in tomato sauce.

Answer 8

Well Ontario has so many different cultures and so many foods, that's there's nothing really Canadian, except maybe Tortierre, a french pork pie or Poutine, french fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy or vinegar.

And of course there's moose or beefalo. My friend from south africa wanted a submarine or a hoagy as the guys in the US call them.

And if you're in Ontario you gotta have a Tim Hortons' coffee or tea and one of their donuts or pastries. LOL

Answer 9

If you visited South Carolina, I would treat you to a Seafood, Italian Cuisine, or a Steak dinner. There are three favorite restaurants I go to exclusively, when I wish to dine on each one of these dishes.

Answer 10

You could make a whole trip just tasting and eating fried chicken in the U.S.

Every place makes it differently and it is ALL good. I particularly like REAL Southern Fried Chicken.... No KFC for me.

My fried chicken is the best, however....come on over and I'll fry up a mess for ya.

Answer 11

How adventurous are you? The local delicacy here in Florida, is fried gator tail--yes, alligator! Natives have told me it's very good-but I'm originally from Connecticut, and I'll stick with a sweet, juicy Macintosh apple.
