As much as I like all dressed and ketchup chips.. America wins with this stuff.

There is so much bad stuff in these, why they are not sold in canada. One of the ingredients (some chemical coloring crap) has a side effect. " anal leakage". Im not making that up.
Regular cheetos are here.
 
If you put whip cream in the mantecadas they would be better than twinkies.

Barras de CoCo are also da bomb. Gamesa & Salerno wafer cookies are also way better than the American ones, which have a bunch of shortening in them.

Bottereaux, from France (see also beignets from New Orleans or "bugnes").

A good cassoulet. God.

Pretty sure you can find these elsewhere in Europe, but haven't seen them in the UK.

carambars.jpg

This is really good, and it used to be pretty domestic. Don't know if it's gone international now.

11-11-12-Millefeuille.jpg

And a mille-feuilles, even though that pictures doesn't make it justice at all.

And I should add my mother's gingerbread, which is nothing like the german version of it I've tasted, so it's now French. Deal with it:

Any regional dish that can be prepared can be found anywhere pretty much. The rarer stuff is the packaged goods though even then most of the stuff can be found. One thing that I haven't seen anywhere else is this peanut milk from north eastern China that isn't bad.

Oh god I love those! I've only heard them being called "beignets de carnaval" though. Still delicious.

Yeah carambars are good. I don't think they are sold elsewhere. I went back to france for a month during my last year of high school and my school's French teacher asked me to smuggle back some carambars for her because they weren't available anywhere in New Zealand haha.

I don't really know what I could contribute to this thread. Well, I have an idea but it's not exclusive to my country:

Kouglof.png


It's a speciality shared between the region of France I come from (Alsace), Germany and a few other countries (although, I suppose the recipe might change slightly depending on the country). We call it Kouglof from where I come from, but according to Wikipedia its English name is Gugelhupf. It's a bit special but it's delicious.
 

Kapsalon (from the Netherlands)

It's a layer of french fries, then a layer of doner meat with garlick sauce and chilli sauce.
Covered in molten cheese and a salad with tomato and onion on top.

It's a heart-attack in a box.

That looks fantastic. Although I'd lose the cheese and tomato :D
 
That is because you are no doubt English. However, Gregg's is a national chain and statrted in Scotland with a factory in Cambuslang, and in Scotland, sells Bridies.

Not sure if wrong or just the way you phrased it (I.e. when they first came to Scotland they started in Cambuslang), but Greggs started in Newcastle:

My wife works at a school just along the road from their factory. We also get greggs deliveries to our office at lunchtimes. :D

[Edit]Already seen someone else replied... Curse Geordie Pride. Lol. But pretty sure Greggs deliveries are UK only

Also going to add this:
 
How could I forget my favorite American deserts:
Pecan pie

Frozen Custard (not interesting in picture; just looks like ice cream)

Ontario probably has Frozen Custard
you cant get decent buffalo wings outside of new york? really?

Outside of Western New York, c'yah. I would wager my childhood on it. Well, downstate (NYC area), I've never had wings from there. I would assume Syracuse and Rochester have pretty good wings, but the rest of upstate can really vary in culture.

But everywhere else may as well be a different dish altogether.
Outside of Buffalo, you get a lot of baked (I believe these are Ohio-style wings, not bad on their own) or grilled and sauced in a syrupy sauce. They should be deep fried and sauced in a butter and hot sauce mixture. When I do get wings that are both deep fried and sauced in butter and hot sauce, they're still not even close. I respect Buffalo Wild Wings because they at least do that. A place I went to in Gainesville, FL wasn't bad, actually. North Carolina could have great wings, too, because a lot of Buffalonians migrated there.

I know it sounds snobbish to play the "inauthentic" card, but wings outside of Buffalo really are impostors at best in my experience. I do continue to order them, hoping to finally find a good place, though.
 
Later in life I found that japanese peanuts aren't avalible in Japan

Are you sure? I never looked for them in Japan but we have those here in Hawaii, we call them Iso Peanuts, which sounds like it would be the Japanese name...

"It's hard to have a Gaytime on your own"

I totally had to try one of those when I was there. They are pretty good!

Pastel de Nata

pastel+de+belem.jpg

I think the original Portuguese version is way better than the Chinese version (dan tat)...

AUSTRALIA

timtams.jpg

Not to take anything away from Tim Tams because those seemed to me to be as Australian as you can get, but they have started to export them. You can buy them at Target here in the states (and I think someone else here just mentioned that you can find them in Canada now).
