What dish represents your state/province?

You can fill or spread it with whatever you like. I like butter and brown cheese (brunost) for everyday fare. Some like butter and sugar/cinnamon. Others put slices of ham and sour cream on theirs. Or one of my favourites on special occasions: smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and sour cream. (And now I suddenly remembered a film I'd like to share.)

Oh, I forgot the Wikipedia lefse-link too. Here it is:

Living on the coat of the Bay of Fundy I would have to say that Lobster is what would represent our province. In the summer there are many lobster festivals. The biggest one is in Shediac and they also have a huge lobster sculpture that is quite a tourist attraction. Shediac is called the Lobster Capital of the World. The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world and the water is very cold which makes for the best seafood. Fiddleheads would be the vegetable that represents our province. I love greens but fiddleheads would not be my choice. They grow along the river banks in early spring. Particularly along the famous Miramichi River. New Brunswick is the only official bilingual province in Canada. The Acadians (French) have well known dishes which would be Rappie Pie and Rappie Poutine. I have not tried either one of those. Regular poutine is a favourite of mine. That is fries with cheese curds and homemade gravy poured over the top. The city of Fredericton has a poutine festival.

 

We are known for dairy farming and people do like Bratwurst (brats) around here. I only like Johnsonville Bratwurst, I think they are the best ones. My favorite cheese is Colby...I like it mild.. I love milk at mealtime.

 

As i live in South Yorkshire it would have to be Yorkshire pudding with onion gravy!

 

Oh, lovely! I've had true Yorkshire pudding once in my life, and I loved it. The onion gravy is new to me--but it sounds delightful.
You have inspired me to try making a Yorkshire pudding for Christmas, but I'll need to practice a bit before then.

 

Yorkshire lass...this is the first I have ever heard of Yorkshire pudding with onion gravy. I guess you would think some of our foods are odd too with being from a different area . Interesting...

This thread is very interesting to see what favorites everyone has...I hope we can keep it going.

 

Breaded pork tenderloin! The bigger the better, on a tiny hamburger bun with ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato. Lol. Hmm I wonder if theres anyplace in this podunk town that makes em

 

The bip. I knew you were from Indiana as soon as I saw your post. I'm from there and I posted the same thing.

 

Good heavens, Texas has a lutefisk and lefse dinner in Cranfills Gap
Norwegian Lutefisk Dinner in Cranfills Gap - First Sat. in December
Who would have thought! Cranfills Gap has a population of 281, mostly of Norwegian descent, and is in a neighboring county. I don't think we'll be attending--my husband made disparaging noises when I described Lutefisk to him.

 

marlingardener, say what?!? In Texas... Who would have thought? It is a dish typically served before Christmas. I guess they're kicking off the Christmas season with that dinner. I completely understand your husband. I wouldn't have attended.

 

Yep, they don't do things half-way in Cranfills Gap. Amazing.

 

If there is anything "unexpected", you can find it in Texas.
