Will be great to hear about different experiences around the world! I imagine when people think of what makes up a culture they might think of the arts & science, music, cuisine, social contributions and more.
I was wondering some of the foods that stick out in other cultures. Maybe even the obvious/well known ones. Like in the US some examples might be hamburgers and clam chowder, and in Canada maybe poutine and salmon. I got into mole the other year and had a new appreciation for Mexican cuisine! That sauce opened me up to endless flavor combinations with a dinner.
Would be great hear more, especially if there are recommendations on how to experience it (and why).

In Portugal, I’d say mostly fish and cakes/ pastries/ sweets. “Simple” but very tasty food

Every place believing they have the best pie floater is exactly like all Portuguese restaurants claiming to have the best Francesinha ????

Variations of the Pie Floater include a meat pie with tomato sauce “floating” in a bowl of pea soup, on mashed peas or can of whole peas complete with the liquid. They’re actually not as disgusting as they look! ????

We used to buy a packet of chips and a buttered bread roll from the school tuckshop (canteen) and make these. Some people put tomato sauce on them as well. ????

I’m sure the Portuguese ones are better… Chicko rolls don’t contain much meat. ???? I actually don’t eat them these days because I have an MSG sensitivity. https://chiko.com.au/products/chiko-rolls

Whether you call this a Potato Cake or a Scallop will betray which Australian state you are from (they are mostly called potato cakes in Victoria). It is neither a cake nor a scallop, but a battered and deep fried slice of potato…

Sausage Sanga (sausage sandwich) – A sausage served in a slice of bread with optional tomato sauce and fried onions. This is arguably the king of Australian cuisine.

Also called a Democracy Sausage on election day, if you buy it from a vendor at a polling place. Many polling places are schools and the P&C (Patents & Citizens Committee) of the school will often run a BBQ or cake stall to raise money. Voters will even select which polling station they go to based on who has the best democracy sausage & cake stall. Fair dinkum – there is even a website to help you find them: https://democracysausage.org/

<div>I have always been an onions on top type of girl. My weigh in to this national debate is that Bunnings is a third party interlooper and has no jurisdiction over my sausage sanga. </div>
