Canada:
Maple syrup
French toast/ pancakes with maple syrup
Canadian bacon
Poutine
Anything maple, really...

Well, this is really specific, but in the small town I live in, everybody (except me lol) eats tartar sauce (that stuff most people eat w/ fish) with their fries instead of ketchup. Wierd.



(Now that I read this over.. it kind of doesn't really have anything to do w/ the question... oh well, sorry.)

I'm going to do France (as of my experience):

We have lots of deliciouse dishes. Aged mutton, boiled sheep heads, whale meat and blubber being the best. Here's a little preview: http://www.arnizachariassen.com/blog/?page_id=45 (the deliciouse stuff is on the bottom of the page ;) )

You forgot champagne. It's actually illegal to call champagne that's not made in the Champagne province of France champagne. Hence "sparkling wine."

& pain au chocolat. J'adore la pain au chocolat.....

They're the biggest thing in my area. I live near this town called Glendon, aka Perogy Town, where they have a statue of the biggest perogy in the world on a giant fork. Any wedding or event you go to around here will probably have perogies. lol

I love those! I could never find any around here, though.

Ohio is home of the buckeyes {candy -- penut butter and chocolate, very delicious}.
Cleveland is home of Davis Bakery and Jacks Deli {great treats and matzo ball soup}.
Yuppieville is home of the 80 dollar dinner at Denny's {damn yuppies have taken over everything}

Yeah, we share a lot with Iceland.

The fish, is it semi-dried, and semi-rotten fish you're thinking about? In that case, we also eat that here.

In Iceland they have this fish they eat at Christmas. They bury it in the ground and let it ferment for...a long time. Apparently it tastes like urine, and I'd imagine that it's probably rotten as well. I'm not sure if it's the same thing.

Oh, I've tasted that, and no, it's not the same thing. It tastes very oily... kind of like fish omega-fat vitamins. They also eat that in some parts of norway.

The stuff we eat here is hung up to dry, and because the air is quite moist here, the meat rots as well as dries... semi-rotten/dried. It's then boiled, and eaten with potatoes and either salted whale-blubber or garnatolg (smelted butter mixed with fat, which surrounds the intestines of sheep... sounds awkward, but it's true).
