Regional Favorite Foods

In Philly,the city where I was born,it was cheesesteaks. I moved to Northern Virginia when I was8. Here we are close enough to Maryland crabs.I found a shop who makes cheesestaeks Just like in Philly.It is called The Philadelphia Cheesesteak Factory.They are so authentic that I don't have the urge to travel to Philly.

where i grew up in nebraska, we had a large influence of german and scandinavian types of food, as those were the people that settled there. Beef and corn were also a primary food source, as we raised both of these right in the state, so they were much cheaper there than in other places. I now live in maine, and maines primary agricultural resorces include potatos, apples, blueberries, and of course, Lobster. Everywhere you go to eat, they have a lobster dinner, or lobster dish of some sort, and always an abundance of desserts featuring blueberries. Seafood is also very much availiable, as we have a very large fishing industry, being right on the ocean. There are also many regional dishes that i had never heard of, let alone had the opportunity to try growing up in the midwest. People out here love their shepherds pie, new england boiled dinners, and clam chowder. They also eat fiddlehead greens in season. The confection known as the Whoopee pie was originated here, and it has been featured on oprah and attained national following. Maine is also the home of a soda brand called Moxie, which many people love, but i have tried and find to be repulsive. To me it tastes a lot like carbonated cough syrup. There are many things i miss from my home back in nebraska, and i always make sure to fill up on my regional favorites when i go back and visit family. things such as Dorothy Lynch salad dressing, food from the resturaunt Runza, Ruby Red Squirt Soda (not availiable out here), Cherry bing candy bars (made in Sioux City Iowa)and many others which i cannot think of right now. Oh, of course sweet corn. We grow corn here in maine as well, but no corn i have ever had ANYWHERE beats the wonderful flavor of fresh nebraska sweet corn in the late summer.

Pizza, barbeque and wings are big ones around here too. Idaho is the home of Famous Potatoes. Even a band by that name. Or used to be. We have boston shakes here. No one seemed to know what they were when I started a discussion about them. We have haystacks here too that are good. Cheese steaks? Oh, and at the fair they make a sundae shaped like a baked potatoe. YUM!

Hey worldwise! I don't really know what the area I live in is famous for! I live in a large city outside of New York City. We don't really have anything in particular that we are known for! We have great pizza, Chinese Food, Bagels, Hot Dogs, Italian Food, but, nothing in particular that I would say we are famous for! There are tons of restaurants here with great food! So there are lots of places to eat at with all different price ranges! The city up from where I live has great fast food restaurants and that's usually where I go to eat! They have the best pizza places ever!

In Philippines they love Sinigang, Paksiw, Lechon, Adobo, Sisig and more. Korea Kimchi, Bibimpap, Jjampong, Bulgoki and more. People who loves spicy are Mexican, Korean and Bicolanos (Filipinos) Philippines.

I love Hawaiian foods. The number Hawaiian food would be pork laulau or poi.

In my town it would be Angel's Diner. They have the best home cooked hamburgers around. They make some sort of special reish to go on it. It is served with french fries and hashbrowns. They opened in the early 1900's and they are still open here in Florida.

In my country-the Philippines varying dishes are favorites by people depending on the region where they belong. My father is a Tagalog from Nueva Ecija in Luzon provinces and he grow up with this sumptous and delicious dishes. They like Sinigang na baboy, Nilagang baka, Adobo-my favorites, Lechon baboy or roasted pig, Also from Luzon region, the Ilocanos like vegetable dishes they called it Pinakbet with bagoong or fermented shrimp or fish, and the Kapangpangan or pampangos and Bulakenos were the best in cooking diferent culinary dishes, like pancit, relleno, menudo, afritada, morjon, mechado and caldereta... The dishes if you taste like heaven, enough to stuff your stomach and fill it with tangy taste, delicious, aromatic and nutritious food. Then, my mother from the Bisayas from Visayas region are fond of cooking and eating food made from barbecued called Inasal, Binakol or chicken with coconut water, then the famous batchoy and lomi from Ilo-ilo of Ilonggos..then the Bicolanos like spicy food and they called it the Bicol express with coconut milk dishes, and kinilaw from fish or meat fermented with vinegar. Then the mindanao region where comprises of various ethnic groups were more focus on cooking and eating food from Tuna from General Santos city-the home town of boxer Manny Pacquiao, then the davaones love Humba or similar to Adobo and Inihaw, then The Maguindanaon from mindanao lover roasted cow, curry food, fish and a lot of dishes with coconut milk..And the kids love to visit the famous fast food chain in my country..they loved the Chicken Joy from Jollibee..]
