Devon Cream Teas in Devon, what local food is your area famous for?

Where I come from it is oatcakes, so now for those who do not know what they are I will try to describe them, they are similar to a pancake and are made with oatmeal, flour, milk, yeast and sugar, and round here you have them filled with cheese, bacon,sausages or whatever you want. I hate them, but the rest of my family love them, and they make a good cheap meal!!

Our local "must-have" in pittsburgh is a primanti sandwhich - lunch meat, cheese, french fries, and coleslaw between 2 pieces of fresh baked mancini's bread...they're awesome!! Other local fare includes pierogie pizza and wholey's fish sandwiches and of course eat'n park smiley cookies...there's probably a ton more but i can't think of them right now!!

I live in Canada in the province of Ontario. We have so many ethnic groups with their specialty foods, it is hard to pick out anything. What comes to mind though in Ontario and Quebec is pancake breakfasts in a sugar bush. This happens in the early spring when the sap is running in the maple trees. You go to a sugar bush and are taken around in a horse drawn sleigh to see all the little buckets fastened to the trees that collect the sap. Then you are taken to the sugar shack where they boil the sap. You can have a kind of toffee. You take some of the sap and pour it on fresh snow that is laid out on tables outside the shack and eat it when it hardens. Then they usually have a tent or rustic building where you get a breakfast of pancakes, sausages and ham with maple syrup. My kids used to love these outings in the spring. In Quebec there are a few more typical dishes. There is Montreal smoked meat. It is smoked and pickled beef piled high between slices of rye bread, there is mustard, dill pickles and cole slaw served at the side. Quebec is also famous for tourtiere and ragout de pattes and pork and beans. For those who are not familiar with this, tourtiere is a meat pie enclosed in a flaky pastry and is always a part of the Christmas dinner. Ragout de pattes is made from pork hocks. Those are boiled until the meat falls off the bones. Then all fat and grizzle is discarded. A brown gravy is made with roasted flour and the meat is put back as well as tiny meat balls. The beans are usually in tomato sauce flavored with maple syrup. For desert there is sugar pie. This is made by baking maple syrup and fresh cream in a pie shell. You can't eat a lot of this food but it is soooo good.

Singapore where I live is a food paradise, a hotpot of many flavors and cuisines. We are famous for many local dishes, but among the two most famous ones that all tourists who come here must try are the chicken rice and the chilli crab. You can see what the two dishes look like in the attached image. For the chicken rice, the chicken is prepared the traditional Hainanese method, which involves boiling the whole chicken in a chicken bone stock, then using the chicken stock extract and broth from boiling the chicken for preparing the rice, producing an oily flavorful rice that's delicious. The rice is eaten with the chopped pieces of the tender chicken, together with some condiments. The chilli crab is unofficially our national dish, and is usually prepared with fresh succulent crabs in a hearty, sweet and spicy gravy. It is really yummy, and is best eaten with your fingers. Diners usually like to mop up the mouth-watering thick creamy gravy with either white bread or fried Chinese buns called mantou.

My province here in the Philippines is Ilocos and it is known for its delicious food. One of it is called "Longganisa". It's like sausages but it's color brown. You guys should try it. It is one of the best food that I have tasted.

Hi, Ellie, sounds delicious, why not put some photos of them, then i can recognize next time if i have chance to see them. Haha. Here in Nanjing, the most famous food is salted water duck, i don't know how they make them, and i don't like them very mcuh, it's just so so. But some others like them, one of my friends ask me to buy her some when she left Nanjing to further study somewhere else. Can your Cream Teas be taken away. Our duck can, they are put in vacuum bags to preserve
