What's your favourite local food?

Nothing is unique to my town at all, but there is a local place that serves, in my opinion, the best pizza of all time. It is sooooooooooooooooooo good. <3 So I can take pride in that for my town at least, if nothing else.

Chick-fil-A (which is a fast food restaurant that is only located in the states if I remember correctly) is just about the best thing ever! I love their waffle fries and chicken sandwiches. :D As someone who doesn't really eat beef, I have a super appreciation for a restaurant that's dedicated to spreading the goodness of chicken. XD

Cheese curds. It's like cheese except chewier with a rubbery texture. It's the stuff that gets left over int he cheese making process. SO rather than waste it, it gets sold as it's own thing. The local burger chain Culvers even sells them as breaded & baked bites.  

 

I remember being asked this question after a concert, by none other than Marc Hudson, lead singer of Dragonforce. And cheese curds were what I recommended.

Either Karjalanpaisti (Karelian hot pot) or Vispipuuro (The only English translation I found was 'dessert made from whipped semolinpudding and lingonberries') :D

We have something in my state called an "Indiana tenderloin sandwich". It's a massive breaded (usually fried too) pork tenderloin served on a bun with all the toppings. Sometimes, they have certain seasonings on them too.

This is what they look like usually:

OMG, that looks good.

 

My favorite local delicacy around here is what we call a horseshoe sandwich. It was invented in Springfield, IL, and is basically an open faced sandwich with a meat of some sort on top of texas toast, a pile of fries, and plenty of cheese sauce. This dish is the CI (Central Illinois) in one dish.

As a Greek, I must say that we have a lot of rather unique flavours on our menus. People most likely have heard about our very beloved seafood and fish. And that's true, if you ever visit Greece do try some anchovies or some shrimps. But, my personal favourite has to be the so-called "souvlaki" or skewer. 

It is basically a skewer of meat (usually chicken or pork) which has been wrapped around by a pita. You can put other ingredients too, I sometimes add some onion, fries and tomatoes. They have around 350 calories.

Cider. We have cider, proper dangerous burns through wood cider. LOL My hometown is where Sheppy's Farm make their cider - you have GOT to try their Honey cider if you are ever able to get hold of it! 

But region-wise, Cornish Pasties are the best you get from the South West (UK) - I Highly recommend Horse and Jockey bakery ones - the bakeries are only in Porthlevan, Helston and I thiiink The Lizard too. (Cornish towns).

Just dont buy into the touristy trash ones like Ginsters or Land's End pasties, theyre horrible. 

DEVON PASTIES ARE A LIE!!!! Dont buy ones crimped on top! The crimping has to be on the side like a handle!!!

That really look like what we call "un grec" (a greek) in France, but in reality they're kebab, but since Turkey and Greece share a frontier, I think they're about the same ????

Please don't hit me if I'm wrong !

Yeah, they are the same. They are more popular with the kebab in Turkey though. Turkey is like our frienemy.

As a Finn, my personal favorites are
Karjalanpiirakka (Karelian pasty)

It's best with Munavoi ("Egg-butter" (spread made of butter and hard boiled eggs)) but can also be eaten with normal things (butter, cheese etc. thing you put on bread.)

 

Also another one is Leipäjuusto ("Bread-Cheese" (cheese curd processed into flat bread-like cakes))

Also I like rye bread a lot, but though they are "big food" here, I'm not 100% sure if it's "Finnish only" thing.
