Pepperoni rolls and Mountain Dew.

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.

Not today, FBI... Not today

my local area is typified by PURE CLEAN WATER

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

So that rules out most developed areas.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Cheesesteaks and yeungling

French fries and meth.

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.

Hol up. I’m in Nova Scotia / Halifax and our thing is the Donair apparently. How many Canadian cities food claim is shaved meat wrapped in a wrap type thing?

A plate of beige with watery gravy and mushy peas

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Käsespätzle and Spezi (das Original von Riegele)

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

... And of course a Dr. Pepper.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Hello fellow Kansas Citian!

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

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Dude too soon

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I love pluots and get excited on the rare occasions groceries near me have them. I'm a simple lady

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

Obviously pierogi and vodka

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Pork BBQ and Collards. Finish it down with some Cheerwine.

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Cheese and beer. No contest. Everyone would.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days 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.

Beer and fish, I guess

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Rollkuchen and a Pine needle Gin.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Beer, fries or chocolate, hmmm. I should first taste them all again, just to be sure.

Theres no drink option other than overly hoppy IPA (gross, I know, but it is the pnw) and likely salmon on some mixed greens.

Shrimp & Grits

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Dried plums and beetroots are a staple of the agricultural region I live in ; red wine comes next
