I googled and the only foods I can find invented in NZ you probably won't have heard of
-jaffas (think of a round m and m that only comes in red and has an orange flavour in the shell)
- hokey Pokey icecream (so didn't invent icecream but did this flavour, and its the best)
- manuka honey (again didn't invent honey but did the manuka variety)
-
Of course the Kiwi fruit is associated with NZ, cause kiwi.1 -

While us Aussies try to claim it, I do believe that pavlova can be rightfully claimed as a NZ invention.3 -

Yeah the old Chinese gooseberry. Hence my use of the word "associated" not created0 -

I thought that was the case but just mentioned it for some that think it is from NZ originally.1 -
I'm Canadian....so poutine is a rather famous dish
Butter tarts...think pecan pie but a tart and with raisins, I make mine with maple syrup to be extra Canadian
I'm from Toronto which is where peameal bacon is from. Basically cured pork loin coated in ground up dried yellow peas....sooooo good
Beaver tails
Nanaimo bars
Bloody Caesar

Okie here.
As @renydo2 mentioned recently, brandy ice! A local treat, I think.
El Reno makes the biggest fried onion burger in the world once a year, and this small town has 3 long-time fried onion burger restaurants.
Home of Sonic and Braum’s.

Dukes Mayo...the only mayo that’s worth trying0

I was born and grew up in Bucharest.
The only one I know for sure is Joffre cake. People often say mici were invented in Bucharest but there are similar dishes all over southeast Europe, so...0 -

Had to look up that ice cream, it sounds delicious! Definitely have never seen that flavor here.1 -

😳I guess....embarrassed ...... but I’ve always called them casseroles. My DD & DH always tease me cuz I get mad when people make fun of the way we talk (Fargo-like)
I much prefer the Grumpy Old Men, or Mary Tyler Moore, images. You’re an ex-pat though, so you have two food cultures, and your adopted country’s food is up there with the best in the world.
BTW, it’s snowing here today ❄️1 -

I know. I called my mom and she said it was snowing. A funny story about casseroles. When I was a young Interior Designer at the Dayton's Design Studio in Ridgedale, a new designer came from New York. We had a party and people brought stuff. She had never seen a hot dish in her life. She's a gourmet cook and was pretty disgusted, but did her best to hide it. We still roar with laughter at the story.1 -

We have a few communities that have a very distinct Fargo-like accent (Sheboygan especially) so I make fun of it in a self deprecating sort of way, but don't let anyone else make fun of it.
I was always told that it is a casserole unless you are taking it to a Lutheran Church where it becomes a hotdish.

Butter tarts really are the best thing ever1 -
Actually: I don't know what's typical here. I know horseback riding and playing golf is typical. But food-wise? Ugh.. I also can't find anything online, though there has to be something. I'll visit some local shops to see if there's anything local. Maybe some baked goods?0
