The Amish in my area make some great whoopie pies, so I'll go with that.

The full Scottish breakfast, haggis, black or white pudding, square sausage, potato scone, bacon, beans, a fried egg and maybe a slice of fried bread.

Aberdeen Butteries, flaky, buttery, savoury bread roll normally toasted under a grill or in a toaster served with butter and jam.

Scottish Macaroon, sweet made of mashed potatoes and heaps and heaps of sugar formed into a bar which is dipped in chocolate and roasted dessicated coconut.

Tablet, very sweet confectionery item formed of boiled sugar, butter and condensed milk with vanilla.

Stovies, roughly mashed potatoes mixed with bits of square sausage, cracked black pepper, salt and chopped onion. Sometimes served with oatcakes.

Haggis, neeps and tatties. Our national dish, haggis served with mashed potatoes and mashed turnips. Normally eaten around Robert Burns night and sometimes topped with a whiskey sauce.

Can't pick a single favorite, but these are some of my absolute favorites. Get ready to be hungry:

Muffaleta

Po'boy

Meat pies

Jambalaya

Gumbo

Beignets

Pralines

 

[Vixdean]

Probably the pastrami burger here in Utah/SLC,

I don't know if you can even qualify it as a "local food", as it's more of a greek thing, but it was popularized by a local chain called Crown Burger and now basically any burger/sandwich joint or American restaurant around here sells a version of it.

 

[afroguy10]

Forgot about macaroni pie as well. Macaroni and cheese served in a Scotch pie crust pastry.

 

[scamander]

I'd say currywurst but lower Saxony has garbage tier currywurst, other locations are much better at that.

Spoiler

At least ours is more than a Bratwurst with Curry Ketchup on it.

 

[itwasTuesday]

I dunno man, Virginia. Ham and peanuts?

I'll rather go down the street and get a big bag full of blue crab though.

 

[Clockwork5]

I don't really miss living in Iowa. But I do miss Maid Rite.

Hell yes for Maid Rite. I grew up with those delightful monstrosities.

In K.C. we have the worlds best burnt ends.

Viet Cajun crawfish was created by Viet immigrants who settled in Houston.

This year, Eater is teaming up with James Beard award-winning Southern Foodways Alliance to spotlight their documentary work, premiering a short film every other week. This next piece focuses on Vietnamese-style crawfish boils, which have become a mainstay in Houston, a city that boasts one of the largest Vietnamese populations in the United States.

The Vietnamese crawfish boils in Houston are similar to traditional Cajun boils except the chefs add Asian aromatics to the boil — lemongrass and ginger — and serve it on top of a sauce of butter and garlic and spices. Says Kit Dong of Crawfish Cafe, "It's the same thing as Louisiana crawfish, boiled and soaked just the way Louisiana people do, except we add a little extra layer of flavor to it... it gives it a Vietnamese twist to it." The film tells the story of a dish but really it tells the story of Vietnamese immigration and the hybridized foodways they honed on the Texas coast.

Not sure how prevalent Italian Beef Sandwiches are outside of Chicago, but I know they originated here. I could eat these all the time.

Nasi kerabu. Blue-coloured rice eaten with dried fish or fried chicken, crackers, pickles and other salads.

The Nasi Lemak looks really delicious.

Growing up on the North Shore in Massachusetts, I had a huge variety of great places to eat. The local thing is a hot roast beef, and this one from Beechmont in Revere is just the best. I'm also a fan of Billy's in Wakefield, for anyone from MA that may be reading lol

I live somewhere new multiple times a year. Here in Mattoon, Illinois, the answer's "horseshoe."

It looks wonky, but it tastes great.

It is a bit of a classic, due to the poor wheat growing conditions in New England a lot of bread of was made by mixing various flours and Brown Bread(sometimes Boston Brown Bread) is made by using 1/3 rye flour, 1/3 wheat flour, and 1/3 cornmeal, flavored with a heaping of molasses and steamed in a can(allowing it to be easily made without an oven), keeping it nice, moist and crust-less.

A hearty, simple dish for the poor working class of old New England.

Scotland, the land of heart attack food.

[Kuro Madoushi]

Not sure any one thing defines Toronto anymore since we have so many ethnic groups living here.

Beaver Tails are an Ottawa thing
Poutine is a Montreal thing
Nanaimo Bars are a BC thing
We're supposed to be represented with Pork Sandwiches - specifically peameal bacon sandwiches.

I guess if you're including Scarborough, maybe Chinese Haka food? It'd be some form of spicy chicken dish.

 

[dagZ]

I can throw another one in I forgot:

Utica Greens

Utica greens is an Italian American dish made of hot peppers, sauteed greens, chicken stock or broth, escarole, cheese, pecorino, breadcrumbs and variations of meat and prosciutto. Other variations include greens with potatoes, kale, Swiss chard, and pignoli nuts.

I'm from Wisconsin and I can't really think of anything that's uniquely Wisconsin. Bratwurst is probably the best I can think of

Was in NS just recently and got to give this a try. Thumbs up. Has a good story behind it too.

A bunch of good roast beef places in MA, from the well known Kelly's to many random places (actually the one we have most frequently is in Hudson, NH, just over the border. ) Quality of onion rings is key.

As a Swede, I feel like I have a duty to rep the delicious butter and cheese sandwich
