my local area is typified by PURE CLEAN WATER

So that rules out most developed areas.

Went to one the other day, no snags out the front. Devo

Around here I'd say beef brisket sandwich with sweet BBQ sauce.

... And of course a Dr. Pepper.

Hello fellow Kansas Citian!

It's a Chicago dog and a can of Old Style, and it's not close.

Boiled crawfish and a cold beer. Or maybe turtle soup au sherry and a sazerac. Depends on the season.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

I'm a little to the right of you on the Gulf. Can I come over for some of that?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Roast dinner and cider I think, idk if there's a more fitting combo for the British countryside

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Probably a Cuban sandwich and Cafe con leche.

(ETA if it has to be things that grow here, probably fried alligator bites and orange juice)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (7 children)

It's gonna be poutine isn't it? Or maybe ketchup chips. Anything but the fucking Caesar (why clamato????)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Or Nanaimo Bars! But I live in Australia now, so I guess it's snags and Vegemite toasties.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I do love me a Nanaimo bar, though I dislike when they're too sweet. Honestly dark chocolate works best for those. Also love tiger paw ice cream

Philly: A cheesesteak, hoagie, or Italian roast pork (with broccoli rabe, roasted hot peppers, and sharp provolone cheese) sandwich, and a citywide special (traditionally a 12oz PBR and a shot of Jim Beam for $5)

Yuengs & Wings (which rhymes) would be another solid choice

For the kids, maybe a birch beer and a soft pretzel

Pork BBQ and Collards. Finish it down with some Cheerwine.

I literally live where the "Pluot," a combination of a plum and apricot, was first bred. So it has to be that.

Personally, I don't like them that much. I'd prefer to have my plums and apricots separated, Tuvix style.

Obviously pierogi and vodka

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (5 children)

Shawarma and a Vodkow martini.

This is how we explain storm watches v. storm warnings, for reference:

Edit: Second choice would be a Killaloe Sunrise and an Old Style Pilsner. Both are ok, on the simpler side, and people often loudly argue that the fancier alternatives with more toppings and complexity are better.

Smoked ribs with BBQ sauce (its always sweet baby rays) and Dr. Pepper

I don't currently live there but it is my permanent residence technically

[–] ApathyTree 7 points 2 weeks ago

Cheese and beer. No contest. Everyone would.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Probably barbecue ribs or pulled pork and cheerwine though I don’t like any of those.

Chicken and waffles though go hard. Add a cookout shake and I’m happy.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Theres no drink option other than overly hoppy IPA (gross, I know, but it is the pnw) and likely salmon on some mixed greens.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I was wondering why there were so many IPAs up here. Didn't realize it was a regional thing. Recently moved to Portland

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Cheesesteaks and yeungling

Dried plums and beetroots are a staple of the agricultural region I live in ; red wine comes next

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Rollkuchen and a Pine needle Gin.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

What I'd vote for: fish and chips What people actually want: McDonalds Because people are dumb

Shrimp & Grits

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Pickled herring, new potatos, sour cream and chive, oh and strawberries.

At least during midsummer.

But on christmas we have pickled herring, potatos, sour cream, chive and cold smoked rain deer meat.

Lake Huron Whitefish, asparagus, morels (dried from May) and strawberries all local today!

A craft lager and a local dry white wine.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Beer, fries or chocolate, hmmm. I should first taste them all again, just to be sure.

Chicken teriyaki and coffee

My home state would probably be tacos and milk tea

Fried gator tail and a Malibu driver

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Weißwurst / white sausage.

Not absolutely unique, but very well-known and therefore pretty identifying for the state of Bavaria.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Käsespätzle and Spezi (das Original von Riegele)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

A giant tasteless breaded pork tenderloin sandwich (a flattened pork chop, breaded, deep fried, and placed on a way too small bun) and a Busch light.

Note that this isn't an endorsement, but its the bullshit my area is known for and it fits.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Chicago hot dog, surely. The deep dish pizza thing is exaggerated, but Chicago style hot dog is plentiful. Chicago style hot dog loves you. If you ask for ketchup you will have packets thrown at you disdainfully.

If we aren't going based on what is naturally available which would be a variety of different berries but no fruit plus some trout and venison then it would probably be something simple like hamburgers and a screamer(a slushy with soft serve ice cream at the top and bottom mixed in like a swirl

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Beef pot roast and plain white bread rolls (ohio). Dont think there is a distinct drink for Ohio.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Breakfast tacos and Agua de Jamaica.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Sweet tea and wet BBQ.
