Not today, FBI... Not today

my local area is typified by PURE CLEAN WATER

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 8 points 2 weeks ago

So that rules out most developed areas.

In my country, the most renowned chefs all work at a hardware store

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

[–] Justdaveisfine@midwest.social 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

... And of course a Dr. Pepper.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

Hello fellow Kansas Citian!

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 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?

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 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)

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[–] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 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.

Cheese and beer. No contest. Everyone would.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 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.

[–] Theoriginalthon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 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.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 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

[–] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

Rollkuchen and a Pine needle Gin.

[–] JoeTheSane@lemmy.world 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

[–] tipicaldik@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Shrimp & Grits

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

French fries and meth.

[–] snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago
[–] ving_thor@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Dinnede (a type of flatbread/pizza thing), and white wine.

[–] Justdaveisfine@midwest.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

Dinnede looks very delicious.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 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.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

Fried gator tail and a Malibu driver

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

Weißwurst / white sausage.

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

[–] nsrxn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

milk, and grilled stickies

Käsespätzle and Spezi (das Original von Riegele)

[–] myrmidex@belgae.social 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

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.

[–] theywilleatthestars@lemmy.world 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.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago

Sweet tea and wet BBQ.
