Beer and fish, I guess

[–] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Shawarma and a Vodkow martini.

This is how we explain storm watches v. storm warnings, for reference:

Edit: Second choice would be a Killaloe Sunrise and an Old Style Pilsner. Both are ok, on the simpler side, and people often loudly argue that the fancier alternatives with more toppings and complexity are better.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

It's tacos and energy drinks.

  • Central California
[–] Karcinogen@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 hours ago

Sweet tea and fried okra would definitely win, but personally, I'd like to see fry bread win.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Thin, crispy, square cut pizza. And probably an Old Style. But I wish we were better known for our abundance of great craft beer.

There's a few tourism foods we're very well known for, but the locals would get the above choices.

[–] Mostly_Gristle@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Green Chile, and various food items smothered in green chile, with a craft beer from one of the kajillion small breweries we have around here.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Not today, FBI... Not today

[–] match@pawb.social 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

my local area is typified by PURE CLEAN WATER

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 4 hours ago

So that rules out most developed areas.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Pickled herring, new potatos, sour cream and chive, oh and strawberries.

At least during midsummer.

But on christmas we have pickled herring, potatos, sour cream, chive and cold smoked rain deer meat.

[–] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 1 points 30 minutes ago

Sounds like Sweden, or one of its neighbors. Was I close?

[–] myrmidex@belgae.social 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Beer, fries or chocolate, hmmm. I should first taste them all again, just to be sure.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Well your instance kind of gives this away even if your answer didn't make it obvious.

[–] myrmidex@belgae.social 2 points 3 hours ago

I was fresh awake and happy to be spoiled for choice 😀. The answer is, was, and always will be fries.

[–] halfeatenpotato@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago

Tacos (really good ones like a proper al pastor or birria) and a strong frozen margarita.

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Irish Coffee and Mission Burritos.

[–] JustAPenguin@lemmy.world 14 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

In my country, the most renowned chefs all work at a hardware store

[–] postnataldrip@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

Went to one the other day, no snags out the front. Devo

[–] Baguette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Chicken teriyaki and coffee

My home state would probably be tacos and milk tea

[–] legopika@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Baguette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 minutes ago

Ye for the first state

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (5 children)

It's gonna be poutine isn't it? Or maybe ketchup chips. Anything but the fucking Caesar (why clamato????)

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Caesar is so good but the store brand clamato sucks, too thin.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 2 points 39 minutes ago* (last edited 37 minutes ago)

I'm sorry but seafood does not belong anywhere near alcohol

I'm looking at you too, Mexico. Micheladas are delicious but hold the clamato.

[–] 5PACEBAR@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

oué pis bonne St-Jean mon chum!

Philly: A cheesesteak, hoagie, or Italian roast pork (with broccoli rabe, roasted hot peppers, and sharp provolone cheese) sandwich, and a citywide special (traditionally a 12oz PBR and a shot of Jim Beam for $5)

Yuengs & Wings (which rhymes) would be another solid choice

For the kids, maybe a birch beer and a soft pretzel

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago

Probably barbecue ribs or pulled pork and cheerwine though I don’t like any of those.

Chicken and waffles though go hard. Add a cookout shake and I’m happy.

[–] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 5 points 14 hours ago

Rollkuchen and a Pine needle Gin.

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 15 hours ago

Cheese and beer. No contest. Everyone would.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago

Probably a Cuban sandwich and Cafe con leche.

[–] Justdaveisfine@midwest.social 12 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Around here I'd say beef brisket sandwich with sweet BBQ sauce.

... And of course a Dr. Pepper.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 3 points 12 hours ago

Hello fellow Kansas Citian!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 15 hours ago

I literally live where the "Pluot," a combination of a plum and apricot, was first bred. So it has to be that.

Personally, I don't like them that much. I'd prefer to have my plums and apricots separated, Tuvix style.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 11 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

It's a Chicago dog and a can of Old Style, and it's not close.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

I personally love it, and I thought about claiming the Chicago Handshake as a single drink, but in the end Old Style by itself is both more universal and more iconic.

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

San Diego… I’m saying a burrito and a Modelo

[–] tipicaldik@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

Shrimp & Grits

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 13 hours ago

Fried gator tail and a Malibu driver

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Boiled crawfish and a cold beer. Or maybe turtle soup au sherry and a sazerac. Depends on the season.

Breakfast tacos and Agua de Jamaica.

[–] medgremlin@midwest.social 2 points 12 hours ago

Minnesota: Honeycrisp apple hard cider and fried Ellsworth cheese curds.

[–] TheWeirdestCunt@lemmy.today 10 points 18 hours ago

Roast dinner and cider I think, idk if there's a more fitting combo for the British countryside

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 12 hours ago

Sweet tea and wet BBQ.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 8 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Smoked ribs with BBQ sauce (its always sweet baby rays) and Dr. Pepper

I don't currently live there but it is my permanent residence technically

[–] traches@sh.itjust.works 6 points 16 hours ago

Obviously pierogi and vodka

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Pork BBQ and Collards. Finish it down with some Cheerwine.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Lexington style or GTFO

[–] Dequei@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 hours ago

Horchata and Paella
