What is your city's trademark food? - Off-topic

So, wherever you are, what is that area known for food? What's their "specialty"?
I'm from the Rochester area...
Rochester: garbage plates - highly overrated "plate" consisting of two meats (hamburgers, hotdogs or sausages) over mac salad, homefries and covered in ketchup, mustard and sometimes meaty hot sauce.
Western NY: salt potatoes - the incredibly simple way of boiling potatoes and coating them in butter with salt (why this is special is beyond me)

I wouldn't say here in Pasadena, TX that we have one particular food, more of one particular type. We are overpopulated with Mexican/Tex-Mex restaurants, and that is completely fine with me.

Boston Baked Beans and Boston Creme Pie, and nothing like lobster, steamed clams and and corn on the cob, during a clambake on the beach on Cape Cod.

Oakcakes from Stoke-on-Trent!
Lived here 10 years now, before I moved here I had never heard of them before!!

Egg waffles from Hong Kong...

I think for Newcastle (upon Tyne, the REAL Newcastle) it would have to be Greggs pasties.

There're many trademark food of Turkish kitchen but here're the most populars. If you haven't tried one of those before, try it. You'll love it if you like cow meat
Turkish Doner
Adana kebab
Iskender kebab

Coatepec, Veracruz, México
Here 2 examples of our traditional cuisine
River fish (Trucha)
Mole, Flautas, Guacamole and Tamales.

Wouldn't say its a trademark of Belfast, but Ulster Fry, Champ, Dulse , Irish stew, Bacon soda & Lough Neagh eel would all be traditional dishes from Ireland/Northern Ireland

Well -- Im a Vodka type also...
and my favourite-- I dont remember the name - but its in a aluminium bootle (a bullet like) and usually with flavours - like currant!!! and off course there is the other one with a russian name - "Zeljenaja Marka" !!
But the best and most extravagant - a Vodka or clean alcohol mix with a ingredient(from a beaver- my dad and grandfather are both hunters) and left for a while to ripen... after that its a blast - the taste stays in your mouth for the whole night- no mather what you eat or drink, but I wouldnt reccomend to kiss someone after drinking it - cause the taste is not pleasant to the one you kiss!!
Just dont ask my age!!!
For my every day drinking (which I probably do too much of) I usually drink a vodka called Vikingfjord. Yes, its Norwegian but it is inexpensive and clean. I can't state how clean it is. No hangovers!

Anything chinese is my favourite (fried rice, noodles, spring rolls, stirfry ect).
I often snack on noodles with sesame oil and soy sauce, so good, can't understand why people eat pot noodle type crap.
Sushi is amazing, but it's pretty much impossible to get shop-bought stuff without cheese or egg :-/

Well, people eat whatever they like. Don't make face's to their eating habits and choice coz that is the food that keeps them alive and we should be thankful that we get to eat twice a day...My opinion though...Respect everyone!

No offence intended. I respect the people that deserve it and I reserve the right to disagree with others.
I was just saying, it tastes better imo and you actually know what's in it, unlike preservative ladled pot noodles. I don't really care what people eat (that's a lie, but beyond this conversation), whatever makes them happy.

...with the Irish. Might not be around to post a lot, not like any of you care. Any good Irish beers while I'm on layover in Dublin? If no one posts, then I'm drinking Guinness, if someone does post, it's probably about Guinness. lol. Anyone know what the price for a beer on Aer Lingus is?

WARNING! Telescope may hit Earth

http://www.hindustantimes.com/WARNING-Telescope-may-hit-Earth/Article1-756017.aspx
all these satellites and crap floating up in the stratosphere, and falling back down as they age, it's making the future picture in Max Headroom more and more closer to reality
soon enough we'll be walking out the streets with those metal shielded umbrellas to protect our-self from the falling debris
Max Headroom was such a cool show!
Anyway, yep..it's getting pretty messy up there. If there was a runaway cascade effect it could get seriously ugly, fast! Imagine going back to pre-satellite era communications!*
We do have the re-tasked NORAD keeping a watch on the situation though, (when they're not busy tracking Santa), and i'm sure if there were any imminent threat we'd have heard more by now.
Don't forget that a lot is coming down even as we put more up, and what comes down mostly burns up safely in the atmosphere. I watched a beautiful re-entry event from my garden one night, as something that glowed green as it burned, streaked towards the ground before splitting into numerous fragments.
*In the event that this happens i'm buying every share i can in Skype. VOIP would take off like a rocket!
the one that you saw... was that the other telecom satellite that was in the news 3 weeks ago?
i though they said that went into the sea

Could have been anything and it was a long time ago! It was eerie and quite unexpected though. I just always look up while i'm outside smoking at night. Force of habit!
It annoyed me when people started mouthing off recently about how NASA couldn't predict where that last one was coming down. If by putting spin on it, you can make a tennis ball swerve by two metres over the length of a tennis court, imagine what unpredictable path an irregular shaped object falling through one-hundred kilometres of atmosphere could take!
YOu know I'm taking some of it if parts of it fall in NYC. And I'll try to be there before the FBI/CIA/Secret Service/Army/Navy/Coast Guard/Aliens/BBQ gets to the location.
