    I'm from Finland. The weirdest Finish food I love is mämmi. It's traditional easter dessert and literally looks like *kitten*. It's made of rye and tastes sweet, great with sugar and cream. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mämmi for more info and pics. I also love a thing my grandma makes, she calls it "fat bits". It's rye bread cooked in lots of butter and some cream.

    I'm a Kansas City girl, and BBQ is my downfall. I could live off it, and never eat anything else. But I want the beans, slaw and taters to go with the (4 or 5 slabs) meat!! YUM.
    And now I'm hungry... :(

    oh, and forgot to mention boerenkool met worst. Kale has been a dutch staple forever and now is the vegetable go to for vitamins. Mind you ours was mixed with mashed potatoes, butter and the best sausage ever!

    Or...or....zuurkool met rookworst! That's sour kraut (and my Mum goes it with mixing mashed potato into it), served with smoked sausage and...yep, bacon and bacon fat.....and now I suddenly realise HOW I gained weight when I was visiting my parents!!!

    I am french canadian and live in the province of Ontario. The french are sure proud of their poutines and crepes. However, I stay away from those.

    Iowa (USA) here. Our native foods are corn and anything that was fed corn. My downfalls though are cookies and french fries.

    I live on the SE coast of NC. We're famous here for our BBQ........however, I'm not orginally from here and prefer the tomato based bbq sauce over the vinegar base that they do here. It's good, but I don't go crazy over it like everyone else does.

    I like in Maryland, USA. There isn't much as far as weird foods. Summer here is all about blue crabs, tomatoes, corn on the cob, and beer.
    We have scrapple though which is pretty heart clogging as far as breakfast meats go. And we eat soft crab sandwiches.. mmm.

    This right here looks incredibly good to me, LOL.

    Err...is there any OTHER worst than Hema??? ;) My treat as a kid was going to one of those stands that belonged to Hema and having a thin rookworst in one of those hollowed out baguettes with that mustardy mayo.....mmm...................

    I swear it is my Rotterdam roots that want me to have some extra junk in the trunk....

    I adore ceviche! And it is very good for losing weight...but of course you need fresh fish to make it work and I suppose you can't get that :( Welcome to the foum, we are all thrilled to have you here and this is a very supportive bunch!
