Favourite traditional food in your country or state or city or culture or whatever!

A Diner Breakfast platter does it for me — especially when its well into the crackhead hours of the night.

I'd post a picture, but honestly, pictures from google don't do the dish justice on how deliciously terrible their presentation is in reality.

Burnt or under cooked bacon; greasy sunny side up eggs; decent hash browns; and that order of coffee which doesn't taste completely like it should, but it'll be a cold day in hell before you don't force yourself to finish that cup.

It's the epitome of comfort food: unhealthy, personal, great no matter how bad its made, and will always be an option no matter how old I get.

For me, it has to be poutine:

and sugar pie:

YUM YUM!!

Pierogies and pickles are my city's two main staples, so much so that each has a festival.

Also, stacked sandwiches that are four inches thick and include Cole slaw and fries on them. So good. So... so good. But this restaurant also pushed out a family-owned place I really liked a while back so I'm wary of them.

That's like a completo! They are awesome.
The most common here the completo italiano, that looks like this:

My favorite traditional food is pepian.

It's very complicated to make though, so I rarely eat it

Also Fiambre, but that isn't until Dia de los Muertos

[Chita]

These are my top ones, both are really typical in my region, but are kinda rare in the rest of my country XD

This is salmorejo, it’s like a tomato cream with bread, it tastes really good with baked egg and ham

And this is rabo de toro, like ox tail, it may sound weird but it’s delicious, specially in croquetas

[Allanbrito]

Yes, that's true. Food is diferent in other countries. I remeber that went to argentina once and there the meet was waaaaaay better than in chile.

What si this Shokugeku no souma?
Just kidding!

There's not a proper picture that does it full justice but Rly rly spicy chicken briyani, fried fish, boiled egg, all kinds of other sauces and lentils/vegetables (my fav is eggplant), with mango or jackfruit all on a banana leaf, with a crunchy papadum.

From Texas, it's fajitas with apple pie and Bluebell ice cream for dessert and now I'm hungry

All of my favorite savory Filipino dishes were claimed already!! You guys have good taste haha.
So here's some desserts I feel really nostalgic over:

Karioka/Bitso bitso: It's basically like.... fried mochi but with added coconut and sweet glaze. This is my childhood fff.

Leche Flan: Simple baked custard. It's like Japanese pudding had a baby with creme brulee. Super sweet, creamy and rich. It's the one thing I look forward to eating at Filipino birthday parties more than birthday cake lol. My aunt always reserves my family an extra serving of this because she knows I like it so much haha.

Lumpia is Filipino eggrolls that are literally the best <3 My friends mom would make at least 100 of them and I would die.

OH MY GOD YES. YOU FEEL ME <3 My friends step mom makes a dozen of them <3

Here is some of my favorite Korean dishes! The first is Naengmyun which is arrow-root noodles (i think that's what it is called in english) in cold broth. Though it doesn't taste the best at all restaurants, if you go to a good one, it's a bowl of heaven. A good restaurant is key for this bowl. If you live outside of Korea anyways.

Next is the classic street meal: Dokbokki! I love it when this dish is drenched in cheese with a side of egg soup and rice balls. SO GOOD. Korea has a really really really great late night take out culture so having Dokbokki with saucy chicken, sundae and other meals on the side with a can of beer or soju is the key to happiness. Seriously.

...cheesesteaks? They're yummy. uvu

[craftymarten]

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.

[ericsalinas149]

turkish lahmacun and pide

Not food from MY country, but I live here at the moment.

[dawgofdawgness]

Back in Taiwan we have tian bu la (fish cake) and bao bing (shaved ice)

and beef noodle soup! Get in my tummy

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:
