What are your favorite dishes from your local region/city/country? What are the best dishes from less talked-about cultures? - Infosec.Pub

As a home-cook and foodie I love taking inspiration from as many cultures as I can when I cook. One of my personal goals is to make at least 1 dish from every country and every major city around the world, and I’ve been compiling a list of my favorite dishes from each country to research and create versions of my own. I have tried and created many dishes from well-known countries, but I would love to know more about the culture and cuisine of places that are less talked about or less well represented. So what are your favorite dishes and cuisines from your local city or country? Or local dishes you know of from other places? Or maybe you have your own list of your favorites? My addition: Garbage Plates from Rochester NY. They sound strange at first but have become one of my comfort foods. When they are done well, they hit the spot like no other. As for a lesser known dish I absolutely love Roti Canai which is a type of curry and bread from Malaysia. My list so far: Japan: Spicy Miso Ramen South Korea: Curry Tteokbokki China : Lo Mein Taiwan: Mongolian Beef Thailand: Pad Thai Malaysia: Roti Canai Singapore: Singapore Street Noodles India: Lamb Marsala Syria: Maqluba Libya: Couscous Bil-bosla Turkey: Gozleme Greece: Lamb over Rice Russia: Stroganoff Italy: Carbonara Germany: Rahmshnitzel Belgium: Liege Waffle France: Croque Monsieur UK: Lamb Tikka Masala Sweden: Kottbullar Iceland: Pylsur Canada: Poutine US: Garbage Plate Mexico: Carne Asada Tacos El Savador: Charamuscas Trinidad: Dahl Jamaca: Peanut Punch Guyana: Pepper Pot
