food exclusive to your country

[Corrin]

Kangaroo meat and Bunnings sausage sizzles.

Boiled root vegetables with a slab of overcooked meat; both unseasoned.

I don't think poutine is very popular outside of Canada? I love it, and I love it when restaurants get creative with the toppings. :)

I think tempe (the rectangular-shaped thing made from fermented soybeans) is pretty much well-known in my country. I'm not sure if it's exclusive or not, but it's one of my country's specialty.

BITTERGARNITUUR

And stuff like stroopwafels, speculaas and pepernoten, and fries + mayonaise. Most people look at me in disgust when I say we eat that. But I'm especially wanting bittergarnituur with mustard right now.

For sure. Poutine never feels quite right outside of Quebec. Usually because of the cheese. It has to be SQUEAKY!

 

[Esper]

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, the most American food there is.

I uh... nobody in here has even mention vegetarianism.

Apart from the aforementioned poutine (we even have a poutine place that specialises in serving all kinds of wacky variations), I think maple is pretty Canadian. I know they have it in New England, but c'mon; when you think maple, you think Canada. I'm not super into maple syrup, but I do really enjoy maple-flavoured things like cookies, oatmeal, and cereal.

 

[Kostas]

Souvlaki, and gyros. I mean, you can probably find it where you live too but it's from here and it's very famous. Also, Greek yogurt <33

This is Pouding Ch?meur (literally translates to Pudding of the Unemployed or Poor Man's Pudding). It is basically a batter baked in a pool of caramel, made with cheap and simple ingredients. The story behind it is pretty interesting.

Spoiler:

Legend has it that the pouding was created by factory workers during the Great Depression, women making do with few ingredients, including butter, flour, milk and eggs. The sweet caramel sauce that bathes the simple batter was likely made from brown sugar during economic hard times, and was later replaced with maple syrup. The dessert is considered to be quintessential Qu?b?cois cuisine and The Oxford Companion to Food notes that it draws on French cooking techniques that were adapted to a new environment. Made with maple syrup, as opposed to brown sugar, the dish is an example of the province?s syncretic cuisine that, since colonization, has combined ingredients from Aboriginal traditions with European foods.
