What does your country claim as its national dish?
Aside from the Kiwi fruit ( not exactly a dish ), NZ has claimed the mighty Pavlova as its national dish

what does america claim?
i know what russians claim because they have a saying for it: schi da kasha - pischa nasha. translation: schi (a type of soup) and kasha (basically oatmeal) are our food.-
America is the all American cheeseburger and apple pie. -
In other words....Mc Donalds....haha
-
McDonald's apple pies are more like eggrolls though.
-
There's also the hotdog, what you guys call a hotdog we call an "American hotdog" and we call a "hotdog" is pretty much a battered sausage on a stick - which I'm assuming is what you call a "corndog" (?)
-
Hot dogs are actually a combination of German and Polish sausages. Hamburgers are an American invention though.
-
my vote goes to the hotdog

Korea claims kimchi-spicy pickled cabbage
and Korean BBQ Kalbi-marinated and wood grilled beef short ribs.-
I loooove kimchi, but no one is your friend if you eat too much of it
-
It's only good one in a while when you're really in the mood.
-
@sam1982, hahahaha.

-
I suppose we have to go with fish and chips...-
NZ is big on fish and chips too, and meat pies - we'd try and claim that too but we don't take whats not ours, we're not australian
-
Australians over 36 (the national median age) would definitely say either meat pie and sauce OR fish and chips.
It would be very interesting to know what younger Australians think of as the national dish. -
Yeah I would have said meat pie for australia, washed down with a fosters or 4X
-
I thought it was vindaloo or balti nowadays

how weird...it's really violent...but it's food...
-
It's really appropriate. Every nationality is identified by it's food. You were dead on about the fish and chips.

Turkish Kebab & Turkish delights-
YUM! My fave is with the hazelnuts.

Georgian Pizza (Khachapuri)
I miss it -
Canada is a multicultural nation. It is not a melting pot nation. Here we have an enormous diversity of ethnic foods, including those from our First Nations peoples, but none that I would character as being a uniquely "national dish".
-
Same here, so much so that the fusion resturants are getting out of hand. There's one on every corner nearly.
I would have thought there would have Imagined that Canadas dish would have had something to do with salmon, bacon or maple syrup. Thats what I think when I put Canada and food in the same sentence. I've never been there though. -
Where I live in the gulf islands fresh seafood, both finfish and shellfish are abundant. Sadly our Pacific wild salmon stocks, 5 Oncorhynchus species are dwindling. Most of what is passed off in fine restaurants in Canada and America as salmon from Canada are Salmo salar (a species of Atlantic salmon raised in net pens in BC).
-
I went to a family reunion in Canada and although I am very keen to try most overseas cuisines when travelling, one Canadian specialty blew my mind.
For breakfast at the hotel, the locals were eating a stack of pancakes, with fried eggs added on top, then fried bacon added on that, then maple syrup drizzled over the top. That was enough to block the collective arteries of a small city

i'm not sure about National Dish but the main dish in Bangladesh is Rice and fish. -
Thomas Soffron made friend clams a national dish for Boston.
A clam digger and entrepreneur, brought fried clams to the nation by producing them cheaply enough to be sold at the Howard Johnson restaurant food chain.
I love clam chowder but only if I make it myself. You got to properly wash out those clams, they have a lot of sand in them sometimes and who wants sandy clam chowder.-
nope, no one likes a sandy clam.
Im the only one in our house that likes seafood chowder, so I have to make it myself too. Theres a lot of work involved in order to make it though. -
True work is involved. I have found one restaurant that makes a pretty good clam chowder but I don't eat out much, yet if I get a craving I do pick some up once in a while.
-
Here is a secret.
I loathe prawns & shrimp, especially shrimp raised in those farm nets. GROSS
Oysters I loathe, they taste like lungies...GROSS
Lobster I have eaten in the past but I hate to cook them myself because I can hear those poor bastards screaming in the pot when they are boiling to death so I don't eat much Lobster either. TERRIBLE
My Dad was sitting on the beach once when I was around 4 years old and a crab crawled under him and grabbed his balls, he screamed like a bitch.
It was the funniest thing I've ever seen. -
trying so hard not to laugh at your Dad Jeunelle.
I'm not a fan of lobster but I do enjoy crab meat. I'll take lobster in a seafood bisque though. The friend's husband I mentioned in the other thread makesthe best clam chowder I've every tasted, I won't eat anyone else's. But I do agree on fried clams, they're like eating bike tire rubber! And I grew up eating them at HoJos too so I'm an expert.
I recently ordered crawfish and hush puppies at a local bar and was surprised at how good they were. I'm not brave enough to cook them at home though. -
Hell yes laugh, that shit was hilarious I wish you could have seen it.

This is the biggest crab I've seen yet
Notice how many times she said she is sorry

if you don't want to hear them scream just get a knife and a mallet and drive that baby right between their eyes...then right into the boiling water. Sounds horrible but it is more humane then boiling them alive. -
Yeah I'm rushing home to try that tip immediately....NOT
-
I didnt think it was the lobster itself screaming, but rather just the sound of the flesh expanding inside the shell
-
Of course it is but I tell you I could hear them screaming.
The silence was deafening. -
Silence of the lobsters?
-
Exactly what I was thinking too with some fava beans and a nice chianti

Im not a fan of lobster/crayfish myself. Its too bland. How do you normally have it?
-
Just steamed with some melted butter but this is a rare day for me.
-
I take it that its another high priced meal where you are?
-
Yes it depends on the size of that lobster. I once bought two and ended up paying like $40.00 after they weighed it. Even my cat Smokey was afraid to go near them two suckers, they were huge.

The national dish of Jamaica (my adopted country) is ackee and saltfish.
www.jamaicamyway.com/jamaicas-national-dish-ackee-saltfish-
what is ackee?
-
Its a fruit. Click the link in my post and there are pictures of it. A very odd fruit LOL.
-
-
Haggis, neeps and tatties.-
Ok, so I know of haggis, and I know of tatties, but what is a neep?
-
Turnip or swede -
Oh I see, thanks.
-
-
If Boston has a national dish, then Texas definitely can too. After all, our governor is still talking about secession. The national dish of Texas would have to be a big, thick chicken fried steak. -
I think Pizza is a universal food.-
My mom puts kimchi on her pizza.
-
-
Im officially hungry now
-
Kimchi is actually pretty good. I love anything that packs a powerful punch.
