I grew up in Cincinnati, Oh and still live in the area (although I moved away a couple times, there's no place like home)
Here we have our Cincinnati style chili and cheese coneys. Gold Star is my favorite, but there is also Skyline which is very popular and the rival of Gold Star. So basically you take the Gold Star Chili (which is Cincinnati style chili) put in on the hotdog, in the bun top with mustard, onion and cheese. We also have 3 ways, 4 ways and 5 ways; 3 way is spaghetti, chili & cheese, 4 way is a 3 way plus onion or beans, 5 way is a 3 way with onion and beans. Its good stuff.
We also Montgomery Inn BBQ which is awesome and Grippos BBQ chips0 -
Unfortunately, we Dutch are also good at this: Dutch cheese and Bitterballen!!
Yummmm....0 -
Born and raised in Ontario, Canada but spent a good deal of my life in my parents hometown in England. Oh lawd, anything curry based. Flying saucers sweets. CADBURY'S BUTTONS.
But most of all. I live 3 blocks from a poutine bar that is open 24/7. The ultimate Canadian food. The other day I was thinking about Mac and Cheese poutine with bacon and thought, when I get to my goal, we are going to order that and I'll get to have some of it.0 -

Ireland!
& food-wise, the simple spud - baked/mashed/roasted + everything and anything that it spawns (chips/fries, crisps, dumplings, wedges, hash browns etc...)0 -
I was born (and mostly raised) in California, and my downfall is burritos and tacos.
Right now I live in Jersey, and my downfall here is Taylor Ham. >_< lol. But ohmygosh, it's so good! I'd never even heard of it until I met and married my husband, but you can get it in any store or diner out here.0 -
I was born in Germany and spent a lot of years living there and most of my family still does. They have so many yummy things. Schnitzel, bratwurst, kaiser rolls, potato salad, etc.
Right now I live in Idaho and we pretty much have a lot of corn and potato's in our food. There is also a big Hispanic community so lots of yummy Mexican food0 -
I'm from the Chicago area... and of course the foods that are big here are deep dish pizza which includes lots of cheese and a butter crust and italian beefs. Both are wonderfully delicious
Of course the sausage on the deep dish pizza is a huge patty of sausage too!

I am from Newfoundland, Canada.
I would say that my downfall was Salt Beef. Yup, Beef, cured in Salt. I think one 100g piece is something like 3600mg of salt. It's mostly cooked with white potatoes, and some other veggies and stuff ("puddings" but not like any creamy Jello kind or anything lol) and referred to as "Jiggs Dinner" . I still eat Jiggs Dinner, I have just adjusted it so it's not so bad for me lol.
Our biggest downfall is salt. We add salt to everything!! Salt Beef, Salt Cod, Salt ______. Traditionally it was done to preserve our food, and while we no longer HAVE to use it to preserve food, I think we have grown fond of the taste lol. I refuse to cook with it, but almost all of my friends and family use it while cooking, and then drown their food in it after it's on their plate.0 -
Ocala, Florida, US
Gator Tail, Frog Legs, anything seafood, BBQ, Fried Okra0 -

My mother came from the Quebec province, and I remember her using salt pork in her baked beans. Is that the sort of thing you are describing? I'm vegetarian now, but I vaguely remember this from my childhood.0 -
Seems like there's a lot of Texans on this thread. I'm right up there with them. I've managed to stay away from the deep-fried things served at the fairs and the rodeo (all except the zucchini... but then, that stuff is delicious). I have a big family and they like to make pies and cakes and all sorts of sweet things covered in butter for any and all holidays (minor ones included). Family gatherings are my downfall.0

I think I love you and your list....I'm another Southern girl so your list has me drooling(except for the liver pudding...). I must also add cornbread that is made with REAL corn meal and buttermilk cooked in a cast iron skillet(none of that Jiffy crap), collard greens that are cooked with smoked meat...preferably a ham hock, and homemade mac-n-cheese. That that crap in a blue box. The kind with eggs, whole milk, and a 2 inch layer of sharp chedder cheese on the top.....Last but not least a simple pound cake....made with a pound of REAL butter.....0

I am from Bucharest, Romania.
I don't eat much from our traditional food. I prefer to eat simple and healthy (fruits, vegetables, poultry, fish, yoghurt, cereals).0 -
I live in England but right on the border with Scotland so my nearest chippie is in Scotland and they do deep fried steak pies which I had a bit of craving for when I was pregnant with my second child....my husband sat me down and explained what trans fats were...:-(0

North Carolina... born and bred....
Deep-fried anything is native.
Barbeque is a noun and always pork.
Biscuits and meat (sausage, ham, fried chicken, fried steak, bacon... etc.)
Whole milk
Liver pudding (which is actually yummy)
But my favorite is a red ripe tomato just off the vine, with Dukes mayonnaise.

Aussie living in Texas in the U.S. I miss certain areas from my hometown (Melbourne) that had amazing restaurants. Lygon Street (famous for authentic Italian food - not Olive Garden), I miss real Thai and Malaysian, the little restaurants that were cheap and delicious. Can't get Laksa here! I miss the non-franchised places.0

Was born & raised in Illinois, and the staple out there is sweet corn....but I always go back for Monical's Pizza, which started my love of pizza!
Danville, just east of Champaign.0
