Do you have any names for food/beverages in your country that are named after other countries/places/nationalities? For instance, what is in English called a 'Danish' is in Danish called 'WienerbrΓΈd' meaning 'Bread from Vienna'.

Other examples from Danish:

  • WienerpΓΈlse - 'sausage from Vienna' - an ordinary sausage
  • Bajer (short form of 'Bayersk ΓΈl') - 'Bavarian beer' - used about any type of beer
  • Italiensk salat - 'Italian salad' - salad with mayonnaise, peas, carrots and asparagus
  • Russisk salat - 'Russian salad' - salas with mayonnaise, beets and macaroni
  • Franske kartofler - 'French potatoes' - regular chips/crisps with salt
  • Fransk hotdog - 'French hotdog' - hotdog served in a tube-like bread
  • Jydenachos - 'Nachos from Jutland' - when you dip your 'French potatoes' in gravy.
  • And probably many more...

Hamburger (meat patty sandwich)

Food & drink named after places - your experiences

There is an entire wiki page listing foods named after places but I'm interested to hear traveller experiences of trying them in the place of origin. What are your favourites? What items are on the top of your to try list?

I'll start by listing my favourites

  • Champagne in the Champagne region of France
  • Gouda cheese in Gouda, NL
  • Buffalo wings in Buffalo, NY
  • Stornoway black pudding in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Scotland
  • Ardbeg in Ardbeg, Islay, Scotland

Top things to try

  • Bordeaux wine
  • Kobe beef

Attempting to put out this thread as you get a feel for the character of a food / drink item in its area of provenance somehow. Ardbeg in particular feels amazing to drink under the grey skies of its windswept Islay shores.

My list of awesome food places that are great for meals with friends, family, and fun experiences. Great for seeking food after coming down from a high, needing to get over a hangover after a great night. Hell, just when you're just really fucking hungry.

Hey everyone,

So this is a list of restaurants that I've been to that, in my opinion, has some pretty unique and delicious food. If you're counting calories, skip this post. If you want food that is hearty and more likely bad for you, then read on.

If you guys have other places that you know that I should check out, let me know. I'm always up to check out some new places to get some delicious food.

  • A) Dawg House (Dobbs Ferry) This place is delicious! At first I was put off by the fact they had the weirdest concoctions of toppings on hot dogs, but they actually all taste really delicious. I swear when I saw the PB&J Crunch dog, I almost threw up. I said "fuck it" and tried it and I haven't regretted it. If you want an experience some unique combinations on classic American hotdogs, check this place out. They also have a contest there. Three columns of nine specialty dogs. You roll a special dice, whatever column it lands on, you have to finish all nine dogs, PLUS the dog of the month in under 20-25 minutes. Good luck.

  • B) So Dam Hot (Valhalla) Speaking of hangovers and coming down from highs, this place is definitely one of my go-to places. It's located in Valhalla, NY across from the Valhalla train station. It's a small shop, but the food is delicious over there. Like I said prior, if you're counting calories, don't read this post. Well, you're already reading it and you're probably wondering what this is, so I'll explain it anyway. So Dam Hot (SDH) serves food anything from burgers and fries to chili to pulled pork and ribs, to some massive combination of all of them. If you guys go here, make sure to try their best sellers, which are the Chubber Fries and Baby's Mama. What also sets them apart is what makes their name iconic. They have a hot sauce rack; lowest shelf with the "milder" sauces to the top shelf which is pretty hot. Then, there's the Demon's sperm himself sitting on its own fucking pedestal in its own box. The Source is a seriously hot sauce!!! You only need a toothpick sized amount before you fill that spice kick in. A word of caution!! It's hotter than pepper spray. If you're hungry. Go here. If you're coming down from a high, Go here. If you're hungover. Go here. These guys also have a contest. Finish 12 wings that are BATHED in all the sauces on the top shel
