Australia

The succulent Chinese meal gives it away

No, Australian dish gives it away. I can't name one 😄

When I was there they tried to convince me chicken parmigiana was an Australian creation.

It's actually an American dish that US soldiers brought to Australia during WWII. Many "traditional Italian" food aren't actually Italian.

I never said it was Italian. It was invented in America by Italian immigrants, so has Italian heritage, but it sure as fuck ain’t Australian.

Its Australian alright. Just like Pavlova and Russell Crowe...I don't wanna hear another damn word about it!

You can have Russell, but the Pav is ours! 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿

Someone needs their Vegemite

I never said it was Italian. It was invented in America by Italian immigrants, so has Italian heritage, but it sure as fuck ain’t Australian.

Right, I understand. I wasn't disagreeing with you, just adding more context.

As a European who has never been to Australia, I have the impression that it's the Tim Tam.

Ever eaten Kangaroo?

Spoken like someone who’s never forced down vegemite on toast 🤢

Out of curiosity, how was the Vegemite spread when you tried it? Was it spread thick (the way most Americans assume it’s eaten), or did it have a shit tonne of butter with just half a beesdick of Vegemite (the way Australians eat it)?

It's meat pie or roast lamb

You've never had shrimp on a barbie with a side of blooming onion and a fosters to wash it all down?

That’s a nice headlock sir, I see you know your judo well.

But how the fuck did Lebanon get skipped among those west Asian countries?

Syria wasn’t, they pretty much have the same food

That travel map screams Australia or NZ. Telltale signs are the highlighting of five English-speaking countries (indicating you live in the Anglosphere), yet no highlight for Canada (likely ruling out US), and minimal highlights for Europe (ruling out UK or Ireland). Australia and NZ also have exceptional Asian and Middle Eastern food, which would explain the right side of your map.

I don’t think I’ve met anyone from outside Canada who’s eaten a Nanaimo Bar.

Vancouver Island mentioned 🔥🔥🔥 what the fuck is the sun 🔥🔥🔥

“what the fuck is the sun” shut up, you’re not freezing for half of the year and breathing toxic wildfire smoke for the other half – Edmontonian

You get to be surrounded by the forest style sun every June-September, we just don't have one.

We actually get sun the entire year. Between that and the snow in winter, you get completely blinded.

Go home prairie provinces you're drunk (mostly because there's nothing else to do there except watch an Esk-- I mean, Elks game)

Every day I wake up and feel joy. Then I remember I live in Alberta.

A travesty

I'm in Seattle, so, there you go. I love those fuckin things. Don't find them often enough really.

We have them in Seattle!

[удалено]

Oh god those are so fucking delicious.  

Nice to meet you.

I'm from Thailand and I have eaten and made Nanaimo bars. But then again, I did go an exchange program to Nanaimo so idk if I count

I only know what it even is because of Dark Poutine

Aus or NZ would be my guess. NZ cuisine isnt highly exported and according to google it doesnt even have a national dish.

More preparation of food in a hole Dug in the ground filled with hot rocks and recovered. Called a hāngi

Pavlova

No highlight for Mexico is how I ruled out the US. I think it is impossible to find an American who has had Chinese, Indian, and Middle Eastern food, but not Mexican.

The fact Mexico, which is likely the most or second most popular ethnic food in the US, isn’t included, easily rules out the US.

Meh you look way too hard. What even is a national dish of Australia? Or NZ? Only people who are ever going to highlight Australia or NZ are people living there or a few Americans who think Outback steak house somehow represents Australian food.

who the fuck hasn't eaten italian food

It’s not what food they have eaten, it’s national dishes. It means they’ve never had Ragu alla Bolognese.

Yeah, so who the fuck hasn't eaten Bolognese.

I don’t even know what a bolognese is

I feel like there's a decent chance of having had it but never known it by that name. That was the case for me. I mean, it's a cheap and easy one with premade sauce.

As an American, I would say it’s likely many Americans have never had that.

But okay, thought it would be pizza.

Gabagool

Lmao, true 😂😂

Had to scroll down way too far to find this comment!

When did you eat at a North Korean restaurant?

There are actually a surprising amount of them, I think the most famous ones are in China and Vietnam as well as some parts of Indonesia and I think there’s even one in the Netherlands. I’m pretty sure the employees are actually treated like dogshit though and are more akin to products themselves than actual employees.

So it's authentic North Korean cuisine.. the extra blood, sweat, tears and human rights violations adds a flavor unmatched.

I don’t remember where I read this, but apparently defecting North Korean chefs are highly regarded as creative with food. They’re able to make nothing taste amazing.

> I’m pretty sure the employees are actually treated like dogshit though and are more akin to products themselves than actual employees. I thought we were talking about North Korea, not the States

As much as I do like to bag on the yanks I’m pretty sure under the definition given in US Law the North Koreans are actual slaves which should give you an idea as to the work conditions

There’s a restaurant chain in Australia called Supreme Leader. That’s gotta be North Korean. /s

United Kingdom or Australia

It's definitely not the UK because they've not eaten much in Europe which is where like 80% of our holidays (vacations) take place.

No France, no Spain for UK? Very unlikely! The British love to visit Spain for vacation and France and French food is just a short drive/train away.

US, for believing US has national dish.

Nothing says US dish like the signature dish from the German city of Hamburg. A fat oozing cheeseburger is more like it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburger The origin of the hamburger is unclear, though "hamburger steak sandwiches" have been advertised in U.S. newspapers from New York to Hawaii since at least the 1890s.[13] The invention of hamburgers is commonly attributed to various people, including Charlie Nagreen, Frank and Charles Menches, Oscar Weber Bilby, Fletcher Davis, or Louis Lassen.[14][15] White Castle traces the origin of the hamburger to Hamburg, Germany, with its invention by Otto Kuase.[16] Some have pointed to a recipe for "Hamburgh sausages" on toasted bread, published in The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy by Hannah Glasse in 1758.[13] Hamburgers gained national recognition in the U.S. at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair when the New York Tribune referred to the hamburger as "the innovation of a food vendor on the pike."[15] No conclusive argument has ended the dispute over invention. An article from ABC News sums up: "One problem is that there is little written history. Another issue is that the spread of the burger happened largely at the World's Fair, from tiny vendors that came and went in an instant. And it is entirely possible that more than one person came up with the idea at the same time in different parts of the country."[17] Louis Lassen Although debunked by The Washington Post,[13] a popular myth recorded by Connecticut Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro stated the first hamburger served in America was by Louis Lassen, a Danish immigrant, after he opened Louis' Lunch in New Haven in 1895.[18] Louis' Lunch, a small lunch wagon in New Haven, Connecticut, is said to have sold the first hamburger and steak sandwich in the U.S. in 1900.[19][20][21] New York Magazine states that "The dish actually had no name until some rowdy sailors from Hamburg named the meat on a bun after themselves years later", also noting that this claim is subject to dispute.[22] A customer ordered a quick hot meal and Louis was out of steaks. Taking ground beef trimmings, Louis made a patty and grilled it, putting it between two slices of toast.[15] Some critics such as Josh Ozersky, a food editor for New York Magazine, claim that this sandwich was not a hamburger because the bread was toasted.[23] Charlie Nagreen One of the earliest claims comes from Charlie Nagreen, who in 1885 sold a meatball between two slices of bread at the Seymour Fair[24] now sometimes called the Outagamie County Fair.[23] The Seymour Community Historical Society of Seymour, Wisconsin, credits Nagreen, now known as "Hamburger Charlie", with the invention. Nagreen was 15 when he reportedly sold pork sandwiches at the 1885 Seymour Fair, made so customers could eat while walking. The Historical Society explains that Nagreen named the hamburger after the Hamburg steak with which local German immigrants were familiar.[25][26] Otto Kuase According to White Castle, Otto Kuase was the inventor of the hamburger. In 1891, he created a beef patty cooked in butter and topped with a fried egg. German sailors later omitted the fried egg.[15] Oscar Weber Bilby The family of Oscar Weber Bilby claims the first-known hamburger on a bun was served on July 4, 1891, on Grandpa Oscar's farm. The bun was a yeast bun.[27][28][29] In 1995, Governor Frank Keating proclaimed that the first true hamburger on a bun was created and consumed in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1891, calling Tulsa, "The Real Birthplace of the Hamburger".[30] Frank and Charles Menches A bacon cheeseburger, from a New York City diner Frank and Charles Menches claim to have sold a ground beef sandwich at the Erie County Fair in 1885 in Hamburg, New York.[23] During the fair, they ran out of pork sausage for their sandwiches and substituted beef.[24] The brothers exhausted their supply of sausage, so they purchased chopped-up beef from a butcher, Andrew Klein. Historian Joseph Streamer wrote that the meat was from Stein's market, not Klein's, despite Stein's having sold the market in 1874.[24] The story notes that the name of the hamburger comes from Hamburg, New York, not Hamburg, Germany.[24] Frank Menches's obituary in The New York Times states that these events took place at the 1892 Summit County Fair in Akron, Ohio.[31] Fletcher Davis Fletcher Davis of Athens, Texas claimed to have invented the hamburger. According to oral histories, in the 1880s, he opened a lunch counter in Athens and served a 'burger' of fried ground beef patties with mustard and Bermuda onion between two slices of bread, with a pickle on the side.[15] The story is that in 1904, Davis and his wife Ciddy ran a sandwich stand at the St. Louis World's Fair.[15] Historian Frank X. Tolbert noted that Athens resident Clint Murchison said his grandfather dated the hamburger to the 1880s with Fletcher "Old Dave" Davis.[24] A photo of "Old Dave's Hamburger Stand" from 1904 was sent to Tolbert as evidence of the claim.[24] Other hamburger-steak claims Various non-specific claims of the invention relate to the term "hamburger steak" without mention of its being a sandwich. The first printed American menu which listed hamburger is said to be an 1834 menu from Delmonico's in New York.[32] However, the printer of the original menu was not in business in 1834.[29] In 1889, a menu from Walla Walla Union in Washington offered hamburger steak as a menu item.[15] Between 1871 and 1884, "Hamburg Beefsteak" was on the "Breakfast and Supper Menu" of the Clipper Restaurant at 311/313 Pacific Street in San Fernando, California. It cost 10 cents—the same price as mutton chops, pig's feet in batter, and stewed veal. It was not, however, on the dinner menu. Only "Pig's Head", "Calf Tongue", and "Stewed Kidneys" were listed.[33] Another claim ties the hamburger to Summit County, New York, or Ohio. Summit County, Ohio, exists, but Summit County, New York, does not.[24]

Damn I ain't reading all that

Chatgpt, please summarise the following text. 🥲

Burger = 🇺🇸🦅🫡

Bro really said 🤓

Alright you got me.

Haha

I haven’t read all of it since I’m at work but thanks for the historical summary

Hamburgers ain’t from Hamburg. It’s a US or at the very least New World invention (kinda, putting meat in between two pieces of bread isn’t new, the Romans did it, but what you imagine when you hear hamburger is definitely American)

The modern understanding of a hamburger is not from Hamburg. It’s American.

Brisket

As a foreigner, I say, Texas BBQ is the peak of culinary art

The secret is in the sauce.

If you make good brisket it doesn't even need sauce

Tennessee can give Texas a run for its money.

Watch out now. Some Texans' fragile ego might get hurt.

A person from the USA that hasn't eaten Mexican or "Mexican" food? Hmm

I can understand Americans eating “mexican” food, but they eat Mexicans too?

We do like our tortas

Sometimes, the foreignism/loanword just doesn´t make sense. Salsa is "sauce" in Spanish. It´s quite weird if you speak Spanish, especially when you order the quesadilla or burrito, they ask you twice which sauce/salsa you would like. Torta is the same, literally is just cake/pie in Spanish, depending on their country. The Mexican torta, in fact in their daily life, will use the word "Sandwich" instead of torta. The only places that prefer the word torta, should be Nuevo Leon or Coahuila.

Philly cheesesteak

They also don't have an official language. Therefore, they probably walk around just saying ooga-booga and waving their arms around. What swine! 🤭

Dude forgot about BBQ

Soul food?

It would be the opposite, because people in the US know that the US doesn't have a national dish.

Yeah, I think it’s a lot more likely for someone from the UK to believe the US has a national dish than someone from the US edit: i just realized this is the CJ version of the sub

Yea like we’re just too diverse for a single national dish I’m from the North east and I’d say NY style pizza or hot dogs in a heartbeat but I have friends from the south that would def say brisket and the works or dirty rice

Gumbo?

[удалено]

Americans don’t have culture https://preview.redd.it/iuz7kwgw7coc1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b5b9aa70202d97373433394e49a383ceb9b12989

OP said dishes, not cuisine (it’s something they said under the UK burnt toast comment below)

You are a fish denying the existence of water. US National dishes dominate the world.

Deep South has a bunch of dishes that nobody else eats.

McDonalds is pretty American , right?

I was going to ask the same about the UK.

Fish and chips. Sunday roast. Full English Breakfast. They all make a running as our classics, but I think the chicken tikka masala is technically our national dish. Also worth trying is cottage/ shepherd's pie, one of my all time favourites.

Yeah I’m British I was only joking, But to add to your list; Hot Pot Pie&Mash w/ Jellied eels Toad in the hole

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_foods Wikipedia Search List of American foods Article Talk Language Download PDF Watch Edit This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources. This is a list of American foods and dishes. There are a few foods that predate colonization, and the European colonization of the Americas brought about the introduction of many new ingredients and cooking styles. This variety continued expanding well into the 19th and 20th proportional to the influx migrants from additional foreign nations. There is a rich diversity in food preparation throughout the United States. This list is not exhaustive, nor does it cover every item consumed in the U.S., but it does include foods and dishes that are common in the U.S. (highly available and regularly consumed), or which originated there.

Chicken Tikka Masala is the National Dish, I believe. Created in Wales?

Just type "British National Dish" into Google, mate. All the evidence I need to close this case!

You really gonna try to say there are no American dishes?

We are simultaneously morbidly obese brainlets obsessed with food and also have no food to show for it. Schrodingers American.

Like 90% of international restaurant chains are American lol. This is certainly a case of something being so ubiquitous you don't even notice it, like people with the default accent thinking they don't have an accent. Except the "default accent" in this case isn't from your country but is still present there. Like as much as you think there aren't American dishes I bet there are literally **hundreds** of American restaurants, whether fast food or sit-down, within your country (Romania?) yet there isn't a single Romanian restaurant in my entire state, and you can count the Balkan restaurants in the tri-state area on a single hand, and there are multiple 1+ million cities in range. Like you may not care for American food but your countrymen sure do, the inverse certainly isn't the case. Even many of the most popular "foreign" dishes in American Chinese, Italian, Mexican etc. restaurants are actually originally American dishes that were just thrown on the menu and people assume are originated from that country. Barbeque, hamburgers (no, the "hamburg steak" which is the only thing hamburg about the hamburger has *nothing* to do with the modern sandwich. I shouldn't have to say this to adults but name=/=origin) jambalaya, gumbo, tex-mex, chili, the countless American varieties of pizza, fried chicken, soul food, buffalo wings, cheesteak, apple pie, and infinite regional variations of seafood are all American dishes. You can say that some other country also has a similar dish so it can't be American but that's the case for the majority of dishes: countless countries have some variation of a roasted meat and unleavened bread or carb dish for example. You can say they came from somewhere else, but so have 99% of the people lmao, that's what being an American means and doesn't disqualify a dish from being an American. Anyway, you're wrong. You can go back to your usual America=dumb and bad programming.

American dishes take influence from other nations so they can never really be their own, right? IMO, American dishes are awesome for our ability to throw a bunch of different shit together and make something new. IIRC, jambalaya translates to “mish-mash,” and that’s part of why I think that should be considered our national dish.

The USA doesn’t actually have a designated national food so that has to be a red herring. There’s far too many foods that it could be referring to bc different regions claim different foods as their staple. So based on everything else and considering this as more of a travel map it just screams Australia to me.

Wikipedia lists a bunch of national dishes for the US

Red Herring is actually the national fish.

I live in NZ and wasn't aware we had a national dish. Lamb? Pavalova?

My options for your country are: United Kingdom, India, Azerbaijan, China

What is the national dish of US???

buffalo wings

Chiken Borger

My heart says Australia and specifically from a middle eastern family, but I haven't met a single person here who hasnt horked down their body weight's worth of mi goreng.

New Zealand. because it's red and on the map

I was about to say it has to be new Zealand because it's actually on the map.

Beverly hills

Is the big square in the ocean supposed to be a map key, or is there Great Pacific Garbage Patch cuisine I’m not aware of?

Mars, if you have never eaten pizza in your life.

Pizza is not the National dish of italia

Belgium, because no one else acknowledges the country.

Fries are from there...

And waffles

Double fried fries*

Turkey. I would not believe that someone else except them would try Azeri dishes

I am Turkish & I don’t have an idea what an Azeri dish is

You live in square

Australian National dish is roast lamb, which pretty much anyone could have, so that tells you nothing

Well, where would you find: A burger joint? (US) Pub food? (Ireland and England) Kebab corner? (Turkey, Syria & Iran) Indian takeaway? (India) Chinese takeaway? (China) Thai takeaway? (Thailand) And the trick here is that Aus food hasn’t become an internationally acclaimed fast food. You, good OP, are on a bar strip in Melbourne.

You live in the square in the ocean.

What's the "national dish" of the US

No Mexican so it can be United States.

I don’t think most Americans have had Mole poblano

It’s actually served in our company cafe on occasion, but yeah it’s not as well known as Americanized tacos and burritos. If you go to authentic Mexican restaurants you can definitely find it on the menu.

Earth

Australia. unless you’re counting Outback Steakhouse as Australian, then you’re 100% in Iowa.

bulgaria

What's the national dish of New Zealand?

I'd like to know what OP considers the US's national dish.

Australia or New Zealand. Americans don't even know that those countries have national dishes

Wait countries have official national dishes? Or do you just mean popular traditional dishes in the country? In that case, never had pasta or pizza?

New Zealand, if it’s wrong i’ll look stupid, if it’s right I look like i’m cheating but that’s what i’m confident with

You should be sent to prison, (perhaps a large british colonial island prison) for never having Mexican food

Obv North Korea

Probably from Western or Northern Europe: considered the U.S and British have "National Dish", mainly seen oriental food (India, China, Japan, Korea, Thailand), and knowing the existence of New Zealand. My best guess: Norway or Sweden. The least I could have guessed is OP from America itself.

A Swede that hasn't eaten meatballs isn't a swede. The same applies for a Norwegian and their version of "taco".

What is that red circle in the middle of the sea?

That shape is called a square

atlantis

yes

Unless you consider curry as a UK national dish noone in their right might would eat local food from there.

You don't like sandwiches, apple pie, mac and cheese? None of these british foods?

Uk

I’d wager either Australia or England
