Beer? It's a well known fact in Australia that there is steak and egg in every glass.

Bavarian beer has been brewed with the same ingredients since this has been set into law in 1516. It is not considered an alcoholic beverage but a basic staple thus being sold at reduced tax rate.

When Mumsy had major kidney surgery beer was part of her hospital meals.
 
I live in Pennsylvania where they have scrapple which is all the stuff they were going to throw away* but instead ground up and formed into a green brick with spices of some kind. Its then sliced and fried up and served for breakfast.

I loved it as a kid but as an adult, it gives me terrible indigestion. The taste isn't all that appealing to me anymore either.

*Scrapple is made from a mixture of pork scraps and offal, such as liver and heart, combined with cornmeal and buckwheat flour, along with various spices.

Living just across the Mersey from Liverpool where the most exotic dish was created, I regularly savour a large bowl of 'Scouse'.
No-one knows the exact recipe for this spendid stew-like dish, but those that do have an inkling of the recipe keep their lips sealed, for fear of a mob of Scoucers paying them a visit on a dark night. 😊

@IrishEyes, you must be in Missouri! Probably my favorite state. I tried to move back a couple of years ago, but finances dictated otherwise.

I was at a local park here in ND last week when a man stopped me to say hello because he'd seen the Mizzou magnet on my car door. He'd just been to the North Dakota State Fair and had seen the Budweiser Clydesdales. He was so friendly! I really miss that. He said he lived in the St. Louis area but was up here on vacation to get away from the Missouri summer, something I can totally understand. 😆

As for foods my area is known for, I think I already posted this, but a lot of heavy German dishes, most of which I can't pronounce. I dislike German cuisine—I find it much too heavy. I usually pass, much to people's dismay. I know large parts of Missouri were settled by Germans, but the food didn't seem quite so prevalent there.

Yes I am slight rural area south of St Lou. My first visit to Mo in 1973, I fell in love with the rolling hills and all the green. Moved here in 79, raised my boys, then moved to 2 other states and came back here as my final place 2 years ago.

Eastern NC barbecue. Not to be confused with any other NC barbeque, believe me!

DO NOT get involved in an argument between two Tarheels from opposite ends of the state concerning barbecue. It won't be pretty.

Stay away from Texans "discussing" the merits of different ingredients for chili, also. You'll make enemies. "Y'know, I used to like Bob there until I found out he puts beans in his chili. Just can't be friends with someone who does that!"
