Going more state than country to narrow it down a bit: coney dog, hani, microbrews, walnut and cherry salad, pasties, Vernors float, native trout, apple pie/cider, cherry wine

Texas food is pretty grim, but we we have some good stuff.

• Beef is very cheap here, so if you like steaks, I'd recommend a nice steakhouse. Especially if you're European, y'alls steaks are the stuff of nightmares.

• We also have good tex mex, which probably explains a lot of our obesity issues.

• Watermelons here are both much better and much larger than anywhere else I've ever been.

• Chicken fried steak does kick the shit out of schnitzel, even if mushroom sauce is amazing.

Otherwise we mostly import any cuisine worth a damn.

I'm not usually much interested in "food experiences" but nonetheless I have an answer and it is the sugar shack pancake breakfast.

Moose steak.

And lutefisk (lye fish) is not as scary as it sounds.

None sadly. I have the distinction of being in a culinary-bland area in a large culinary-rich country with too many things to choose from if I step out. Even in ancient times, the highest level of culinary creativity you'd get is whatever grew in the fields slapped onto a dish. Not that I mind that much, I'm not huge on food.

Canadian cuisine isn't really distinctive, but you should really try French fries with salt and malt vinegar before you perish.

Taiwan: Come visit us!! The majority of the foods on my list youq can get at most night markets.

1. Beef Noodle Soup - You've gotta try the beef noodle soup; it's practically the national dish! Imagine slurping down spicy broth with tender braised beef and hearty noodles. Total comfort food.

2. Bubble Tea - No trip to Taiwan is complete without bubble tea. It's the perfect combo of tea, milk, and those addictive tapioca pearls. Totally worth the hype!

3. Gua Bao - Think of Gua Bao as the Taiwanese burger. It's a fluffy steamed bun stuffed with juicy pork belly, sprinkled with peanuts and cilantro. So good.

4. Stinky Tofu - It might smell funky, but stinky tofu is a must-try street food. Dare yourself to try it fried up crispy with some pickled cabbage on the side.

5. Lu Rou Fan - This is a go-to comfort dish: simple braised pork over rice. It's unassuming but unbelievably tasty.

6. Oyster Omelette - This is a unique mix of eggs and oysters with a sweet potato starch that gives it a chewy texture, topped with a sweet and spicy sauce.

7. Pineapple Cake - For a sweet treat, grab a pineapple cake. It's a crumbly, buttery pastry with pineapple jam inside—a perfect souvenir too.

8. Dumplings - You can't go wrong with dumplings, steamed or fried. Dip them in soy sauce and chili and you're set.

9. Shaved Ice - To cool down, shaved ice is perfect, especially piled high with toppings like red beans and fruit.

10. Mango Shaved Ice - Upgrade to mango shaved ice if you’re there in mango season. Fresh mango with shaved ice and condensed milk? Yes, please!

We are super friendly too and the majority of the population speaks English.

In Texas, Tex-Mex.

In the US, it's really hard to say. We're too diverse.
