All our food is kind of boring but I'm partial to a bit of cranachan. (It's just cream, oats, and raspberries)

The best traditional Scottish food is obviously the munchy box though, perfect for starting your night out and there's enough left for the hangover the next morning.
It's usually pakora, kebab meat, chips, maybe some deep fried fish or sausages, pizza or pizza crunch (deep fried pizza), chicken tikka, maybe some spare ribs or chicken balls, whatever the takeaway has left, some red sauce, onions, and the smallest salad you could possibly add.

My fave Finnish foods are definitely:

Karelian pasties

They're basically rice porridge in a rye crust. Sounds simple but they're the best! Especially eaten with egg butter (mixture of hard boiled eggs and butter).

And Runeberg's torte:

This is what true happiness for me looks like. A dessert that tastes of almonds, rum and raspberries. Too bad they're only available once a year because they're the loveliest thing on earth. Not too sweet, but just perfect. <3

This thread is making me surer that I want to travel the world just to eat stuff.

I don't have a direct favorite food, but I guess from my moms side it's probably kimchi (preferably nappa) and spicy pork bulgogi. It's kind of hard to say I only like this one!

and from my dads side idk what's considered traditional but I guess:

Pupusas salvadoreñas. If it doesn't clog my arteries, no lo quiero.

Pierogies already got mentioned, so I'll just stay and stare at all the delicious looking food. xD

Edit: My city actually has those. Wow, pretzels.

People here make fun of them, but I think they taste good.

Some people think that Texas is known for steak, but it's actually beef ribs. THE food born right here in cowboy country.

Also:

Don't forget your sweet tea, ya'll!

It was the first time in years that I've been into London, so I was surprised to recognise the photo! It's in Lewisham, although I think it's a pizza place now instead of chicken.

[punkarsenic]

Pancakes! My family makes them with a 1:1 ratio of pancake and egg. We put Worcestershire sauce and maple syrup on them.

And, since my mom's family is from South Africa, I'll just add this: Koeksisters. Very yummy doughnut.
