So I'm travelling for work. Nothing C19 unsafe where I am, just distance work within the acceptable borders. Driving town to town again got me thinking about regional cuisines - it doesn't really matter where you go nowadays, somebody is going to claim this or that food is a local favorite. God help you if you got to a bar and someone thinks you need to be welcomed with the local specialty drink. Just about every town I pass has a billboard or a menu item listing such a dish.
I was curious to know what the people of the escapist have as local foods, and whether you actually like it or not.
I'm from western Canada myself, so off the hop I'll admit it - I don't like maple syrup. I actually prefer the fake maple flavoured corn syrup that you get. The real stuff tastes borderline alcoholic, and its somehow so much sweeter than even corn syrup. I'll eat a maple flavoured cookie, but real maple syrup on my waffles will probably give me a stomach ache these days. Not to mention the price of the stuff.
I do actually like green onion cakes and donairs, although they don't particularly like me. Once a month tops, but that single meal is glorious.
