Not today, FBI... Not today

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

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

... And of course a Dr. Pepper.

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

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

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

Probably a Cuban sandwich and Cafe con leche.

(ETA if it has to be things that grow here, probably fried alligator bites and orange juice)

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

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

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.

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

Obviously pierogi and vodka

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.

Cheese and beer. No contest. Everyone would.

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.

Rollkuchen and a Pine needle Gin.

What I'd vote for: fish and chips What people actually want: McDonalds Because people are dumb

Cheesesteaks and yeungling

Dried plums and beetroots are a staple of the agricultural region I live in ; red wine comes next

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.

Dinnede (a type of flatbread/pizza thing), and white wine.

Champagne and Reefer

Shrimp & Grits

Lake Huron Whitefish, asparagus, morels (dried from May) and strawberries all local today!

A craft lager and a local dry white wine.

French fries and meth.

Theres no drink option other than overly hoppy IPA (gross, I know, but it is the pnw) and likely salmon on some mixed greens.

Chicago hot dog, surely. The deep dish pizza thing is exaggerated, but Chicago style hot dog is plentiful. Chicago style hot dog loves you. If you ask for ketchup you will have packets thrown at you disdainfully.

Grits a Ya Ya and a Bushwacker.

milk, and grilled stickies

Weißwurst / white sausage.

Not absolutely unique, but very well-known and therefore pretty identifying for the state of Bavaria.

Fried gator tail and a Malibu driver

Chicken teriyaki and coffee

My home state would probably be tacos and milk tea

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

Käsespätzle and Spezi (das Original von Riegele)

A giant tasteless breaded pork tenderloin sandwich (a flattened pork chop, breaded, deep fried, and placed on a way too small bun) and a Busch light.

Note that this isn't an endorsement, but its the bullshit my area is known for and it fits.

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

Sweet tea and wet BBQ.

Biryani and rao (sugarcane juice)

Although biryani is mostly a special occasional thing. The daily driver would be lentils.

Similarly the more common drink would be coca cola/ pepsi.

If we aren't going based on what is naturally available which would be a variety of different berries but no fruit plus some trout and venison then it would probably be something simple like hamburgers and a screamer(a slushy with soft serve ice cream at the top and bottom mixed in like a swirl

Beer and fish, I guess
