So, random topic, but I'm currently hungry and bored at work, so thought I'd ask this.
If you were to move away from your area, which local cuisines/food/restaurants would you miss?
Being British, there's a few good ones I would definitely miss. Fish and chips being right up there. Although a lot of other countries do similar stuff, it wouldn't be the same as a proper bit of cod from the chippy. (EDIT: Other chip shop staples too, like battered burgers and battered sausages, are also awesome).
Biscuits. The British digestive, custard cream, malted milk... A plethora of biscuits you can't really get anywhere else, all delicious.
Cornish Pasties. A personal favourite of mine, and to get proper good ones you do need to be in or very close to Cornwall. Can't beat a savoury steak pasty IMO.
Cornish clotted cream & clotted cream ice cream - unhealthy as all hell, but very tasty. I rarely see this outside of the South West of the UK.
There's a Chinese takeaway local to me that is my personal favourite Chinese takeaway by far, and I would probably miss it were I to move away.
EDIT: There's a local butchers that does a variety of baguettes (bacon, sausage, pork, turkey etc) for prices around £1.50-£2.50, and for the price are pretty delicious and generous, especially as extras like cheese, onion and sauces don't cost extra.
That also brings to bacon. Back bacon is the standard bacon cut in the UK, and I'd be horrified having to contend with the American style streaky bacon strips on a permanent basis
So, from anywhere in the world where you are, are there any local foods, or even particular restaurants, that you would miss?

A delicious caramel waffle. A truly Dutch treat.
