What's your favorite local only snack?

Deleted member 8118 · Apr 18, 2019

I don't care if you're from the top of the Earth or from the edge of the universe. What's your favorite local snack?

When I'm home I can't help but pick up a bag of these.

Where are these from? Read the bag!

Hot, sweet, corny, these are the fucking best with a beer or unbelievably stoned.

Oh, shit, I came into this thread fully prepared to talk about Red Hot Riplets. Never had the corn chips, but I might try them soon.

Edinburgh, Scotland. " sauce" which is a thin tart blend of brown sauce (think thick fruitier steak sauce) and malt brown vinegar. On anything from the (Fish and ) "Chip shop" but especially deep fried haggis.

Yes! They're a bit sweeter, but that only makes them better.

That sounds amazing.

I've never seen this and my first reaction to seeing it was "woah".

I need to try it some day.

Tomoe brand Yakko Kakimochi. Sure there are theoretically "rice crackers" available on the mainland, but other brands don't have the right blend of sweet and savory, and none of them have the specific texture of the Yakko variety

As a Southern Californian this is tricky as most local food (i.e. In-n-Out, Moscow mule, French dip, Cobb salad) has expanded to other states and worldwide. I'll go with the California Burrito since it's barely expanded outside of even SD.

Lou Malnati's. Technically they have branched out a little bit, but it's basically Illinois.

I only remember having their deep dish once, I remember it being sinfully good.

I'm from Seattle, WA so I'd say Tim's Cascade Sour Cream and Onion potato chips.

My wife is from Nebraska. She'd say Runza and Valentino's Pizza.

There's a stand are the University District Farmers Market in Seattle that does legit chimney cakes.

Tried to order online but they are like 15 bucks a bag. Which I honestly consider to be.... kind of worth it, for how amazing they are. I mean it's insane that a snack exists that is so good I think it's worth double digit prices per bag...

When in Belgium:

148110-Bicky-Beef-RGB_HR_508x306_508x306_acf_cropped-1.png

A Bicky Burger from a Frietkot (fries place), with fries ofcourse. It's a very simple hamburger, with fried meat, dried onions and pickled cucumber and three types of sauces, of which 'yellow bicky sauce' is the secret ingredient. It's as trash as food can get, but fuck me if it doesn't taste amazing.

When in Portugal:

Pasteis de Nata from Manteigaria. You can technically get a pastel everywhere in the world now, but nowhere are they as good as here imo. (Yes, I prefer them to the original from Belém)

Southside of Chicago is a place where it's all about the sauce.

Middle left - Mild sauce is great on anything but especially fried foods. Think the perfect mix between ketchup and bbq sauce leaning towards a more sweet taste with a hint of vinegar.

Upper left - This orange sauce is known as Heine's hot sauce, it's the best sauce ever made (fight me) and is the perfect blend of spicy, mustardy, vinegar and all things good in the world.

You can order the hot sauce on Amazon but it's pricey.

For $10, I can ship you a gallon and it'll last you quite a bit of time.

Had deep fried haggis pizza from some hole in the wall place just down from the uni, whilst trollied in Edinburgh... at 3am it was amazing.

South Australia does a couple of things...

Frog cakes.

They're great... but very sweet.

There's also the Pie Floater:

A beef mince pie, with pea soup.
It's actually pretty good.

And our local chocolate company (Robern Menz) makes several chocolate bars and snacks.

Oh, nice timing. These just recently came out here and they're amazing! So damn addicting.

There were some BBQ Cheetos a couple of years ago but only for a limited time it seems. Those were really good but I think these are even better.

Went to Lou Malnati's when I visited Chicago in December. Truly some of the most disappointing pizza I've ever had. Fresh-as-hell ingredients, mind you, but ultimately a very heavy crust and cheese that made me feel sick to my stomach. Was the only time I ever had pizza and felt nauseous for hours after. Absolutely hated it.

Unfortunately Lou Malnati's was the only pizza I had an opportunity to try when I was there.

The best food I had in Chicago was donuts from Do-Rite Donuts & Coffee. Amazing stuff. I still crave them to this day.

Yup, these are basically legal crack. Once you started, it's impossible to stop.

Fried Goat Meat

Puff-Puff (a type of Nigerian doughnut. Fried and decently sweet on it's own, sometimes coated with sugar)

Chin-chin(a hard, bite-sized cookie/biscuit version of the puff-puff dough, great bar snack)

Suya (Street vendor chicken/beef skewers coated with spices and paired with cooked or raw sweet onions)

Yeah, it's really hyper local, which is why I posted it. It's one of the few truly unique snacks we have here.

Best part of NC is getting Cheerwine in restaurants from the fountain. So good.

Its a drink. Its call a "shaft". Its got Kahlua, Bailey's, Vodka and something else in it. Every bar and pub here serves them. Its more of a shot that you chug through a straw but some wimps like to sip on them.
