What foods were invented in your home city/country/region?

Enjoying reading answers but cannot even identify with concept of "home".

Born in Taiwan to mainland Chinese parents, immigrated to Canada where I grew up ages 4-18, moved to Europe after high school and worked between London and Paris until age 25 when I retired from modelling. Moved to Amsterdam to marry Dutch boyfriend ages 25-45. As a result of hostile takeover of the company I worked for, we moved back to London 10 years ago.

Culturally home is the Netherlands, but culinary taste is shaped by China.

Butter tarts...think pecan pie but a tart and with raisins, I make mine with maple syrup to be extra Canadian

I miss my great aunt's butter tarts (that side of my family is from about 1.5 hours north of Toronto).

Butter tarts really are the best thing ever

They were the first thing I made when we had to self isolate. 😊

Aberdeen and shire, Scotland

Aberdeen Angus Beef (hmmm steak),
Macaroni pie,
Cullen Skink (gads!),
Deep fried mars bars (gads),
Sticky toffee pudding (Possibly. My go to pud, if a restaurant doesn't have this on the menu it's not worthing going to imho),
and my all time favourite type of bread *drum roll*: Rowies! (or butteries, salty buttery flat bread).


Could go a rowie right now, wi lashins o' butter! :P~ slaverin!
Need to visit home more.

Ireland

Boxty: a potato potato pancake type thing

Coddle: A stew with all the sausages, rashers (bacon) and spuds (potatoes) left over from the week - mostly a Dublin thing

Concannon: Irish mashed potatoes with green cabbage and scallions

Irish Stew: Traditionally made with cheaper cuts of meat, lamb and veg and of course SPUDS

Bacon and Cabbage: Here's where things get funny. Americans (mostly) think Irish people eat Corned Beef and Cabbage and then ask for it when they come to visit. People in Ireland don't call it that. Here, it's called Bacon and Cabbage and it's very much a 'eat this in your mum's house' type of meal and not something one might order for dinner out. Tourist-centric restaurants in Dublin might serve it but not many other real restaurants do.

Soda Bread (Also called brown bread): A bread that many people still make at home today with many family recipes.

Barmbrack: Enthusiasts make this fruity tea loaf all year round, serving it smothered in butter with a cup of tea in the afternoon. It’s at Halloween, however, that you’d find a charm in your slice foretelling the future: a rag foreshadowed bad luck or poverty; a ring meant you'd be wed within a year; a pea that you wouldn't be wed in the coming year; a coin brought wealth; and a stick foretold quarrels. Raisins, candied peel (sometimes steeped overnight in black tea and whiskey) and mixed spice all go into the mix.
