Unfortunately, nothing too sophisticated here as I'm a Northern (England) bird. Our delicacies are:
Pie on a buttie (sandwich) with some nice chips from the chippy
Or if you just want a snack, grab a pastie
Lobbies or 'Scouse' if you're feeling posh (it's just a stew)
Oh and er...that's drinks for you. :blushing:0 -
I need to come visit some of you guys – these foods look and sound amazing!
Funny story though about “Pigs in a Blanket” My cousin is who is from Pittsburgh moved to MO and married a girl out there. He told her one day that he was really craving Pigs in a Blanket and she told him she would make him some. All day at work he was salivating over the thought of having some Pigs when he got home; however, when he got home, this is what was before him:

He was like, WTF is this??!!! She said Pigs in a Blanket .. hahaha. That term is used for different things, but for us in Da Burgh, it will always be:
Plus another thing invented in Pittsburgh - Strawberry Pretzel Jello Salad! So yummy! Didn’t realize this was a Pittsburgh thing until I saw a show on TV. We always have this dessert at picnics and potluck dinners.

Syracuse, NY...we are home to salt potatoes. This is no ordinary potato cooked in salt. These baby spuds are boiled to perfection in copiously salted water (we're talked a cup of salt at least) and slathered in melted butter. Sooooo yummy! And lest we forget...the original Dinosaur BBQ is in Syracuse too.0

and its said, a bar in one of our suburbs, martinez, created the martini.
and like others have said, we have the "its-it" a cookie ice cream creation consisting of two oatmeal cookies with ice cream squished between them covered in chocolate, oh yes, its that good. if you're ever in the area i would try the mint one, delish!0 -
Albuquerque...New Mexican Restaurant on just about every corner...everyone has their own personal favorites. Food is awesome...but will cost you plenty in the calorie department. On average...if you ate an entire entree, including the complimentary chips and salsa, you're looking at roughly 1,000 - 1,300 calories...that doesn't even include the margaritas. Some examples:
Stuffed Sopaipillas
Chile Rellenos
Enchiladas (w/fried egg)
....and so much more yummyness....
