Things from your country the rest of the world needs to try

[Sonicron]

Well in Turkey we have what is called "Doner Kebabs" which for me is like crack.

The rest of the world needs to try it out.

I think Cpt_Oblivious is right, they're pretty much spread across many sections of the world by now. Not that there's anything wrong with that, if done right (meat mustn't be too fatty, garlic sauce needs to be a bit spicy, bread should be freshly baked) they're absolutely delicious. I think here in Germany you can't walk more than 500 metres in any of the major cities without passing at least one stand that sells them. Yum! ^^

I can think of quite a few things from my country folks should try, but since I've been living in Northern Germany for a few years now, I'll go with a food speciality from these parts. It's called labskaus, and it's basically a pink goo comprised of fried corned beef, onions and mashed potatoes, served with a sidedish of beetroot, a rollmops, one or two pickles and an egg.

Trust me, it's as delicious as it looks horrifying - and looking at that pic, you know it must be delicious!

Everyone should try greasy fast-food! Its great for your body and self esteem! If you get fat, its because you're happy, and if your heart starts to hurt its because it's aching for more of that good ol' fashion artery clogging goodness. USA! USA!

Poutine! Basically take french fries, dump cheese on 'em, and then drown the whole thing in gravy. Yummmmm!

Poteen.

The strongest liquor in the world.

It's made with potatoes (what isn't in Ireland) and is illegal.

Drinking a glass has a similar feeling to being shot.

Are you sure about that? Absinthe may be on the same level. Though that could be the properties of wormwood.

OT: From Ireland, I'd have to say Guinness, though it's very stereotypical.

Hungary, there is the activity known as 'getting the hell out of Hungary' and these little chocolate bars filled with sweet cottage cheese..

For america, im going to have to say our legal system. Because there are so many loopholes you could probably get away with murder if you had a good enough lawyer.

Also we can basically buy any videogame we wish, because i dont really believe we have a censory board.

Culture.
[small]Yea, I went there.[/small]

Seriously though, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Saxon and The Sex Pistols

Hey, don't forget Queen, and The Beatles (which I never really liked but are regarded as very good).

Also, anyone not English needs to try Sasuage'n'mash.

 

[Mordant Marmite]

Pasties and our self deprecating sense of humour?

Here in Holland everyone is a great fan of doner kebab! Everyone I know, at least.

OT: I suppose hookers and drugs should be tried by everyone!

Another thing the Dutch are famous for are tulips. I suppose that if tulips are your kind of thing you should come and visit.

Also, fries. You get fries with everything at McDonalds, but the REAL fries are stand-alone and kickass. The national snack.

 

[D0WNT0WN]

Well in the United Kingdom we have a thing called Class, you should try it some time.

 

[Ekonk]

FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plus freedom of speech, religion, right to the accused, and to the Brits, THE SECOND AMMENDMENT!!! (right to bear arms)

Second amendment is a very good example of something I really DON'T want. If guns are gonna be legalized in my country I'm moving.

 

[dex-dex]

butter tarts
but the way my dad make them they should be called lard tarts

b52 shooters are good too

but away from the food protion of our segment and i say toboozening and it is what's in the term getting drunk and going toboganing. and if snow is out of you reach then go and rent a snow machine or something.

 

[muckinscavitch]

Irn Bru! It is one of the most awesome drinks in the world.

One of the best beverages I have ever tried. I'm so lucky some stores import it here to canada

Um.. You guys should try poutine, hamburgers with chili on it (as an extra topping, like bacon or cheese), maple syrup and snow candy.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Sweet Tea, its the shit.

 

[GrinningManiac]

fish and chips um, no marmite um, no deep-fried mars bars dammit that was Scotland, you know what, England hasn't done anything.

Roast Dinners
Chicken Tika Masala
Marmalade
Crumpets
Scones
Apple Crumble

But for the MOST important: the Fry Up.

Well, talking about the U.S.A. is boring, so I'll interpret "country" to mean "state/province" as well, and say that "thrashin some gnar/phat pow" is something that everyone needs to try...

And by the incomprehensible gibberish above I mean that people should try powder skiing in Utah.

(Do Not Try Green Jello.)

And I had great doner kebab in Berlin...man. Now I'm hungry.
