    I'm from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and it's a tie between Kopps' Grasshopper Fudge frozen custard and Clock Shadow Creamery's cheese curds. Dairy state, indeed! :love: I try to limit my intake to once a month of each, but I do indulge.

    I'm from Rotterdam, The Netherlands. My favourite dutch food would be cheese!! Edam, Gouda, Leerdammer, Maasdammer, Old Amsterdam..young cheese, old cheese, herb cheese, smoked cheese, goat's cheese etc etc..yes I'm a real dutch girl in that sense, can always appreciate a good cheese sandwich.
    I also love our tradition of putting chocolate sprinkles on bread. It is a legitimate normal breakfast here, to have a sandwich with chocolate sprinkles.
    In winter I really love asparagus with ham, eggs, potatoes, and butter sauce.

    Everything listed above..

    I have lived in Central Texas most of my life.... I grew up eating TexMex and Texas style BBQ (slow smoked brisket, sausage, chicken).

    Awhile back, I was relocated to North Carina, for 2 years, and was dying for those foods... hadn't realized how much I loved them. I probably gained 10lbs after moving back home :)

    I'm from the Cincinnati, OH area and there's nothing like Graeter's mocha chocolate chip ice cream...especially after a Skyline 4-way :love: haven't had either in months and probably won't for the foreseeable future.

    Bean or onion?
    I just love a good 3 way but my favorite is a Skyline chili cheese sandwich. Don't forget LaRosa's pizza.

    Here's one from Cooking Light:

    I moved from Texas ten years ago. There are a lot of foods I miss, but I learned how to make my favorites at home. I still eat them; I just work them into my calorie budget.

    The only exception is chicken fried steak. LOVE IT. However, it's a mess to make, so I won't do it at home. Surprisingly enough, Chili's does a decent CFS. However, I'm keeping that off limits until I reach my goal - then it will be maybe once a year.

    I am from the South of England (born in London, grew up in Hampshire and Dorset, moved back to London for 8 years, now back in Hampshire again). Best local food - clotted cream and apples. Absolutely. They are the two things we do better than anywhere else in the world.

    Favorite local food - apple crumble with cream.

    Evansville, Indiana.. and you know, it's probably the WORST kinda food anyone can have, but I love me a brain sandwich. I grew up watching my grandmother & mother clean them, then prepare the batter. They were my first solid food when I was 4 months old and I only eat one a year.. don't knock it til ya try it. :) (Speaking of, the Fall Festival is coming up in October.. I'm ready!! LOL)

    Currently in Sweden, and can't say I favor anything in particular from here, though the quality of milk is better than anywhere I have tasted (and I loooove milk!!) , but originally from Melbourne Australia and the cafe culture there is some of the best in the world so my favourite would be good coffee and a good quality brunch fry up with eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and grilled tomatoes and mushrooms, maybe a little spinach, and sourdough toast.

    I'm from a Ilkley in west Yorkshire and I should say Betty's Fat Rascals ( kind of a spiced scone/ rock cake) , but if I'm honest it's the fish and chips fried in beef dripping, fish always always cooked to order. Apparently it's fine to eat the fish and leave the batter as the fish steams inside the batter, but really that's the best bit.

    I was going to argue with Blue fox about the best curry City , but I was a student in Liecester and the veggie curry houses were the best,. Lived in Bradford and Akbar's and Mumtaz are pretty amazing , but comparing Kashmiri food with Sourthern Indian is a bit like comparing French and Italian food ( geographically)

    I haven't been to Sweden, but the best milk I've ever had in my life was in Norway. Must be something about those Scandinavian cows. :)
