What is your national dish in your country?
My country Malaysia's national dish is nasi lemak, roti canai, char kway teow, stay and assam laksa. What's yours?
Answers: Good food! I have read two of my countrymen answered. I would just add and say that we have so many native dishes in the Philippines. We have our favorites top of the line like: Siningang na Isda, Sinigana Baboy, Tinola, Adobo, Kare-kare, Pinakbet, Ginataang Gulay, Lechon Manok, Lechon Baka, Lechon Baboy, Dinuguaan, Apretada, Menudo, and so many delcious and palatable dishes. Hope you could try it in your place. Just visit a Filipino community out there and you will see all have i mentioned. I believe there is really a magic in cooking and being considered as an art. Each native land has its own best foods that represent their country. After all, we are really of different races, culture and heritage.
Nice question. Have a wonderful day! There are many many different national dishes. I guess I would say meat and potatoes is a solid US dish. Hey in the Philippines we eat everything so there's no national dish from duck embryo [Balut] to animal intestine no need to be disgusted there just street food but if you ask me I think it should be Kare-Kare matching with rice and bagoong Here in México we have several and that depends on regions, but I would say tacos.
I love tacos!! In Switzerland it's cheese Fondue but each region has their special dishes. that will be adobo and sinigang! Alas, here in the US our national food is McDonald's.
Many of us prefer Malaysian food and other nationalities, too, because, well, our national food is. . .McDonald's.
:>( The United States is too large to have one national dish. I grew up in Upstate New York (basically the part of the state that isn't New York City) and the local specialty there is chicken wings and pizza.
Frankly, your national dish sounds a lot more interesting. It would be something that we eat really came to being in this country, the U.S. I would say it would have to be the hamburger. And it is the dish that most of our people eat on a regular basis.
Wikipedia says for the United States - apple pie, turkey and pumpkin pie (as part of Thanksgiving dinner), hamburger, hot dog, donut In the US there is one day of the years that we all eat (usually no matter vwhere we are in the world) the same thing.... Thanksgiving = oven cooked turkey and all the trimmings. Pavlova and Fish and Chips!!
(New Zealand) Austria:
Wiener Schnitzel mit Kartoffelsalat in Romania is:
"sarmale" is some mix of rise, meat, onion, and spices all coverd in cabage foils. It serv with sour creme. Hmmm Iove it. Come to Romania and I will give you some :) Simple Nonya snacks include poh piah, soft spring rolls stuffed with such components as bean sprouts, pork, and minced prawns.
Other cross-cultural meals include the spicy Indian-style mee goreng (fried noodles), noted for its tomato-derived reddish color, and the fish-head curry, a celebrated local classic, neither of which originated from India.
Spicy and simple sop kambing (mutton soup) is an Indonesian spin on an Indian dish.
The Chinese food-derived Peking/Beijing duck isn't native to China. Hokkien mee (fried noodles) in the style of the Fujian people from China, packed with prawns, and the Malay curry laksa, a.k.a.(coconut-milk curry), are also unconventional options.
Don't wear white to munch on the fiery, crunchy, messy chili crab, a meal of which inevitably ends with cracked shells scattered around your table.
Singaporeans love chili, but their concept of "mild" may not match yours. Pungent sambals (chili-based pastes), such as sambal belacan (chili with pungent, fermented prawn paste) may not be to everyone's taste.
Do come and and enjoy them it would have to be a good steak on the barbie washed down with a good beer it doesn't get better than that ! (Australia) In England it must be one of the following
Fish and chips which are drenched in salt and vinegar.
Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with real gravy.
Chicken tikka massala, pilau rice and nan bread. Morocco: Couscous INDIA:
tandoori chicken, lassi, chai, idli, dosas.... there are no specific national dish in my country, India, but in my state the traditional dishes are "ladoo" and "pitha"
you said your national dish is assam laksa, well my state's name is Assam!!!! Im not sure there is a national dish but probably the aussie barbeque is the most popular thing that we would eat
I think Pavlova (a meringue dessert) is considered a national dish although in New Zealand its also the same.
Im English so fish and chips or bangers and mash and so on are very popular Canada, I'd have to say Poutine, because you can get it all over the country, and now there are regional varieties of poutine - Italian poutine, Greek poutine, etcetera.
That or donuts. In Texas, Mexican food is popular. I love enchiladas. as per jayjayda UK! My Family is Mexican, they have many like... Mole de oya, tacos, tortas, posole, etc. alot more... and it varies on the region of mexico too.
My Husband's Family is from El Salvador and their national dish are Pupusa's...it's like a thick tortilla but with a filing like cheese & pork, beans and cheese, they top it with pickled sredded cabbage, they are SOOO good!
And here in America I would say Hamburgers and Apple pie. United States- McDonalds Big Mac I come from a country with over 30 tribes, so we don't have a national dish, because each tribe is inherently unique from the other. We have a dish called chapati that is pretty much a favorite among most tribes though. Meat and some carbs is what food revolves around in my country. Pizza, burgers, sandwiches, you name it! Oh, there is also beer and Coca Cola, although those are drinks (I still consider them food). I'm from Brazil, the national dish is feijoada is a black beans, pig parts, dry meat, cilantro, garlic stew, invented by the African slaves, a lot of our dishes is a mix of African and Portuguese, my country was discovered by portugueses on 1500's , with them they brought the africans as slaves, so we have a good mix, a lot of coconut milk, cilantro, yuca, palm oil, piri-piri peppers, rice this a every day part of our meals.
