Thought I'd ask this because I want to discover more foods from across the world

(Also I shouldn't have to say this to americans, please state where you are from and state where you are from without acronyms or shortened names because I've seen US Defaultism on lemmy and not all of us are going to know your acronyms considering we're global users)

Hard to say. NZ cuisine is like British cuisine, but it got stuck in the 80s.

The Flat White. But that’s not strictly food.

Or maybe a potato top pie.

One that's great just to see reactions to the name: leather britches.

But my favorite? There's something very comforting to having a bowl of soup beans. Chili's humble cousin is far more satisfying than it's got any right being.

For a crowd pleaser, though? Cornbread spread with apple butter. Listen to me, now: Do not sweeten the cornbread. Sugar in the cornbread is just cake.

Soup beans and cornbread is a fond memory from my great grandmother's kitchen when I was young.

Does British curry count? Cornish pasties are good too. Also cheese but that is more of an ingredient than meal.

Strawberry rhubarb pie

Green Chiliburger

It's just a cheeseburger with some good local new mexico green chili in it.

Not sure if it's "local":

But the "燒賣"

From Guangzhoug, but the first time I remember eating it in a NYC Chinese Restaurant at a family gathering when we dined at the restaurant. So I assume its probably the Americanized version.

Now I'm in Philly, and I still occasionally have some 燒賣

Its not even like an "Entrée", more like afternoon tea-time snacks.

As a Chinese-American, I haven't even tried much "western food" besides the typical Pizzas, Fastfood burgers, chicken nuggets, fries, and I did have some "Hoagies" (aka: subway sandwitches), and a cheesesteak once or twice. Never had like an actual western "meal".

Idk, I feel like I'm missing out on stuff, but I don't know where to start, because I'm a picky eater... 😓

jucy lucy. it's like a cheeseburger but the cheese is inside the patty

[–] catHerder93@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Minestrone. Not local to me, but a great dish nonetheless

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

Boston baked beans. To my taste, good ones are cooked low and slow so that the beans almost start melting together, and they should be both sweet and tangy.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Used to be Käsespätzle, but i had too much in december and november that i have grown sick of it.

Now i guess it would be A potato soup & apple noodle (not a pasta. A yeast dough with apple cinamon sugar filling

Fish and chips

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

Living in japan. Sashimi/sushi would probably be my current fave. Not shocking, but true. Second would be all the lovely grilled fish and seafood we get here.

If from the US, so for that probably anything tex-mex.

[–] gon@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Very, very tough question...

🇵🇹 Maybe Polvo à Lagareiro or Arroz de Polvo. I really like octopus...

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Pork butt roast and sauerkraut. It's a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch recipe meant to bring good luck and fortune to the household on New Years. You simply season a pork butt with salt and pepper and put it in the slow cooker with a large container of saurkraut and cook on low til it shreds. Served with mashed potatoes, peas, and pork gravy. Guaranteed to give you a food coma.

For appetizers, I love beet-pickled eggs. It's essential to pickle them for 24+ hours to ensure the pink fully penetrates the egg white.

Tex mex breakfast taco.

Egg, bacon, cheese, tomatillo salsa.

Good for any meal. Takes less than 15 minutes from start to clean. Delicious and filling.

Nanaimo bars! I love sweets. Unfortunately.
