bacem Posted May 21, 2013 Author Posted May 21, 2013 oh, so there's many kind of chowder, huh... Quote
dr_spock Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 There are many types of chowders like fish, seafood, chicken, corn, etc. My favorite is rich thick and creamy New England Clam Chowder with large chunks of clams and potatoes. Thanks, now I'm hungry... Quote
TrumpetKing Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I live about an hour away from Seattle, Washington, USA, and I don't know if we have a famous food, but I guess for Washington you could say Apples or something. Apples and Rain. Quote
bacem Posted May 27, 2013 Author Posted May 27, 2013 so, something like apple pie, or apple strudel, maybe? Quote
TrumpetKing Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I guess.... We really have a lot of sweet shops. Pie does seem pretty famous here. Quote
tomdobs55 Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 I almost forgot!! The fluffernutter!! Peanut butter and marshmallow cream between 2 pieces of white bread...absolute heaven!! Fluff is an icon here in New England and was invented in the next town over from me in Somerville Massachusetts. So simple and so delicious. I believe that it's been in the running for state sandwich of Massachusetts. Quote

Athos Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 The pasty is one of the signature foods where I grew up. We had a lot of Cornish miners (including my ancestors) who came over duing the gold rush days. We make ours with beef, potatoes, turnips, parsley and onion. I'm actually having one for lunch today... Steve Quote
dvsntt Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 The Enchilaco. It's an enchilada, made the traditional way, and then placed inside of a taco-shell and topped like a taco, with meat, cheese, beans, lettuce, tomato, salsa and sour cream (or however you want). I invented it at a local Mexican deli (Deli Cioso). I think they only make them for me at this time, but they will be on the menu someday. Quote

Dannylonglegs Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Well, I'm from Philadelphia, and our most famous food is the Philly Cheesesteak! It's always fun to watch the tourists order these. There are specific ways natives are supposed to order them: first-off don't call it a "Philly" Cheesesteak, just a Cheesesteak... and not even that. Say "Whip wit" for whipcheese with onions (or "Whip witout" for Whip without onions.) There's a bunch of other rules too. I don't order these because I'm a vegan, but the culture surrounding them is quite amusing. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited June 1, 2013 by Dannylonglegs Quote

Dannylonglegs Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 looks delicous! especially to meat lover like me.. I've been told they're exactly that! You should come to Philly and try one! (Although they're so famous now that I'm sure they sell them elsewhere! ) ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote

I've had New England style food in other parts of the country and it's never the same as where it originated from. Not a knock on your suggestion just my observation. Quote

B34TBOXX5 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Well, I'm from Philadelphia, and our most famous food is the Philly Cheesesteak! Awwww man now I'm hungry. We have "Philly Cheesesteaks" on the menu at all our Pubs and Bar & Grills up here in Halifax, Nova Scotia... But I can almost guarantee they're nothing like the ones made in Philadelphia! Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Well, I'm from Philadelphia, and our most famous food is the Philly Cheesesteak! While visiting outside of Philly, for a funeral, in April. Never been in or near there before, so my cousins, who live in Philadelphia, suggested Ray's Pizzaria & Restaurant, which was very close to our hotel. Tried their Cheese Steak loved it! It was jam packed and weighed a 1lb or more and looked like the one in your photo, minus the onion Edited June 1, 2013 by LEGO Guy Bri Quote

I'm actually having one for lunch today... Steve That's cool! A pasty shop opened up close to where I live a couple of years ago, and it's always a happy familiar taste when I have one. In Chicago (home away from home) we have pizza. Not that I really know much about deep-dish pizza; I'm not terribly fond of it. Quote
Piratedave84 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 In Québec our stapple food is called Poutine, it's fries topped with cheese curds and smothered in hot gravy; it's trully decadent and is arguably the best hangover cure!! Although it can now be found pretty much anywhere in Canada, I believe this is the most well-known French Canadian food! Curds: Poutine: (I've had Thai beer, Singaporean beer, Taiwanese beer, and to be honest, I don't think I even know the name of a Chinese beer manufacturer.) Tsin Tsao is a chinese beer but I believe it was originaly brewed by German settlers Quote
bacem Posted June 5, 2013 Author Posted June 5, 2013 really. everytime i open this thread, it never failed to make me hungry. goodbye to my diet... Quote
Piratedave84 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 really. everytime i open this thread, it never failed to make me hungry. goodbye to my diet... Have a poutine; it'll fill you up! Quote
bacem Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 Have a poutine; it'll fill you up! well, the problem is, it is really hard to find cheese curds in my country, not to mention my city. Quote
