Green Jello with carrots and marshmallows, sometimes whipped with whipped cream. Utah.

I'm American - so all of them.

America: Burgers and Tex Mex

NW Florida: Grits a ya ya, that shit it to die for.

A barbecued sausage in a piece of white bread, purchased from a tent out the front of a hardware store (it is the glue that holds a multicultural Australia together)

Locally, the PNW (and specifically Seattle) have our own version of Teriyaki.

Seattle-style teriyaki dates back to the 1970s when a Japanese immigrant named Toshi Kasahara departed from traditional teriyaki recipes to create something new. This must-try food typically consists of chicken or beef that is marinated in a blend of soy sauce, sugar, fresh garlic, and ginger. The meat sits in the sauce overnight, then is grilled over an open flame. It is typically served with steamed white rice and cabbage with a sesame or ginger dressing.

The heavy use of fresh garlic and ginger is one of the biggest differences between Seattle-style teriyaki and traditional Japanese teriyaki. Traditional dishes feature a light marinade that is comprised of soy sauce, sugar, sake, and mirin (types of rice wine). The meat is usually grilled or pan-fried before being brushed with the sauce. Seattle-style teriyaki not only uses additional ingredients like garlic and ginger, but it also soaks the meat in the marinade overnight to create an even stronger flavor.

It's so freakin good.

In Austria we have many regional options: Wienerschnitzel, Kaiserschmarrn, Germknödel, Käsespätzle, Schweinsbraten, Leberknödelsuppe, Frittatensuppe,...

Do you prefer a specific type of food?

I’m from Valencia (Spain), one of our mainly known food is Paella.

The other is Horchata with fartons

Probably the Cuban Sandwich

But you can't make it without cuban bread. Which I think is only available in Cuba or Florida.

I recently learned that Deviled Crabs are also local.

Fondue or Raclette

Probably meatballs,

… or Surströmming.

Lutefisk, probably. But doing it well from scratch will take you half a year, and it's easy to fuck up.

I hear Brunost somehow became very popular in South Korea, but that's not really a dish on its own.

Fårikål is less known, but easy as hell to make. Traditionally the only spices are whole black pepper and salt, but I stumbled across a persian dish that wasn't that different, so I'd think whichever spices and herbs you normally use with lamb would work well.

Germany, grilled sausage and sauerkraut I guess. But if you ask a native about the national food or a food that they miss when living abroad, it's usually bread, specifically sourdough made from mixed rye and wheat flour. Goes great with butter and slices of cheese or cold cuts ("Käsebrot", "Wurstbrot").

Biscuits and gravy - the way I do it - make American breakfast sausage crumbles, add flour and butter to pan to start roux, add milk to make roux, pour over southern American biscuits.
