Germany, grilled sausage and sauerkraut I guess. But if you ask a native about the national food or a food that they miss when living abroad, it's usually bread, specifically sourdough made from mixed rye and wheat flour. Goes great with butter and slices of cheese or cold cuts ("Käsebrot", "Wurstbrot").

Fish and chips. And despite all the jokes about British food, you really do owe it to yourself to learn just how good this meal can be when cooked well.

Samin Nosrat argues, in her book of the same name, that all cooking comes down to salt, fat, acid, and heat. Fish and chips is the perfect synthesis of this theory. It is cooking stripped down to this core idea. Done right, it is an absolute delight; beautifully flaky fish cooked to delicate perfection within a crunchy shell of light, crispy batter. Malt vinegar brings acidity to cut through the fat and salt. Everything works in harmony. There are contrasts in texture to enhance the melding of flavors.

Fish and chips, done well, is culinary perfection. But it is very hard to do well. There is nothing to hide behind. It is cooking stripped to the essentials, which means that those essentials have to be perfect. Most people outside of the British Isles have probably never had a good fish and chips in their lives, and even in the UK there are plenty of bad examples.

Anyway, those pickled chicken feet sound incredible. I had paper wrapped duck feet once and those were absolutely delicious.

Poutine. Fries topped with gravy and chewy cheese curds.

Tacos.

Not the "hard shell" variety that is sold in the USA. There is a whole universe of tacos all over Mexico: beef, pork, goat meat, sheep meat, boiled egg, rice, hot peppers, shrimp, crab, octopus, many insects and larvae (chapulines, ant eggs, mosquito eggs, caterpillars), nopales (prickly pear), many kinds of herbs, sausages, etc. The list is almost infinite.

From my particular part of Ireland, Ulster fry probably. Sausages, bacon, eggs, soda bread, potato bread, fried mushrooms. Sometimes with tomato, black pudding, and baked beans if you're into it.

San Diego has a delicious blend of Baja ingredients and flavors and an American sense of too much. Case in point, the california burrito. Carne asada, french fries, guacamole are the essential ingredients. From there pico, cheese, sour cream are other common inclusions. They are delicious. I nominate carne asada fries as well. Its basically the ingredients i listed above without the tortilla, think like chili cheese fries but with carne and guac. So good.

Frybread I guess.

Probably meatballs,

… or Surströmming.

I’m from Valencia (Spain), one of our mainly known food is Paella.

The other is Horchata with fartons

Its likely to be Chicken Biryani and Mango Lassi. Though the specific area I am from has a different variant of the dish. I actually don't like Mango lassi and would rather just drink Mango juice.

I have tried Nasi lemak once and enjoyed it. And thanks to the fish and chips comment, am curious about that as well.

Chocolate sprinkles on a sandwich

Cheeseburger

Cheesesteaks (South Jersey, near Philly).

A barbecued sausage in a piece of white bread, purchased from a tent out the front of a hardware store (it is the glue that holds a multicultural Australia together)

Place I grew up: McDonald's is probably most widely known and somewhat specific.

Place I've lived for over a decade: either sushi or ramen depending upon when and where you're talking.

pierogi

Scotland

Any questions?

SO MUCH FUCKING CHEESE

Lutefisk, probably. But doing it well from scratch will take you half a year, and it's easy to fuck up.

I hear Brunost somehow became very popular in South Korea, but that's not really a dish on its own.

Fårikål is less known, but easy as hell to make. Traditionally the only spices are whole black pepper and salt, but I stumbled across a persian dish that wasn't that different, so I'd think whichever spices and herbs you normally use with lamb would work well.

My people are well known for fast food

Cheese

Fondue or Raclette

For Slovakia its Bryndzové halušky - dumplings with special type of sheep cheese and sprinkled bacon on top

Bread with tomato

It is the simplest thing there is, a tomato rubbed on a slice of bread.
It is usually done with a specific variety of tomatoes but it can be done with almost any variety as long as they are ripe enough. Sometimes if they aren't ripe enough or I'm short on tomatoes I put them in the blender and spread the puree instead (it is important in this case to apply some pressure on the bread to simulate the rubbing).
Add some salt and olive oil and it is done. Then this is accompanied with all kinds of cured meats and cheese.

Since I'm literally from the namesake city, Peking duck? Basically it's duck meat wrap with some veggies, almost like a Chinese taco wrap so to say. It's not something you can easily make at home and is typically quite pricy for how much meat you'd get, but it is quite good

Fun fact, the ducks used for Peking ducks (including in Beijing) are no longer bred in China for a long time

The real one that should have been famous is the Douzhi. Trust me it tastes even worse than it reads, Beijingnese ppl are weird

Vegemite I suppose, or BBQ shrimp, beer or roo maybe. Pretty sad. Australia has a pretty great multicultural food scene, but the external perception sucks.

Fish and chips

I think Taiwanese Bubble tea is probably best known.

There could be more, but that's the only one off the top of my mind that started in Taiwan not China.

But actually eating in Taiwan. Beef noodle soup, Mapo Tofu, Lu Rou Fan, sweet potato balls, fantuan, tea eggs, so many delicious things.
