May 21, 201311 yr 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...
May 27, 201311 yr 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.
May 30, 201311 yr 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.

May 30, 201311 yr 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
May 31, 201311 yr 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.

June 1, 201311 yr 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, 201311 yr by Dannylonglegs

June 1, 201311 yr 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

(Although they're so famous now that I'm sure they sell them elsewhere! ) ~Insectoid Aristocrat Even if they sell them elsewhere its probably not the same. 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.

June 1, 201311 yr 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!
June 1, 201311 yr 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, 201311 yr by LEGO Guy Bri
June 2, 201311 yr 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 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.
June 5, 201311 yr 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
June 5, 201311 yr Author really. everytime i open this thread, it never failed to make me hungry. goodbye to my diet...
June 5, 201311 yr 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!
June 6, 201311 yr Author 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.
