I'm in Manitoba, Canada, we have a dipping sauce that is apparently unique to this province - honey dill sauce. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_dill.  We also have a delicacy called smoked goldeye http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/goldeye/  I don't care for it, the texture is unpleasant to me and slightly greasy, but I'm in the minority.

Smoked goldeye still has to be better than poutine

Fast food poutine is pretty much what you'd expect. Mass produced gravy, not "real" cheese curds, and generic french fries. Homemade fries, well-made gravy and real cheese curds make a hell of a difference.

I'll take your word for it.

Maybe you are just too much of a sweetie to like something quite as savoury. I am now trying to think of sweet dishes that are associated with our area.

Oh I know - Yorkshire curd tart!

Real (fresh) cheese curds must squeak when you bite them.

Google has cheese curds but not curd cheese. Never heard of either, but Google says cheese curds popular in Canada and some parts of US.

Yes, exactly.

I've never heard of that but, if it's cheese, it's OFF my menu. That's the reason I don't eat pizza. Lemmon curd, definitely - yummy - but that's not local to us. I guess, as you suggested, I'm just too much of a sweetie

I'm really jealous haha!

I miss the southern food the most about living in Texas. The mexican food here sucks big time in comparison. But the southern cuisine like fried Okra, chicken fried steak, and the white gravy.. ugh I need it in my life. Not to mention there's nothing like southern sweet tea!

We could send you a care package. There's a place near my house that has the best steak fingers (chicken fried steak in strips) in town, with toast and fries and white gravy. Rhonda has to get a couple to go when she visits my side of town.

I have a crucifix on the wall above my head, and a hammer and wooden stake on the bedside cabinet

Please send me a care package, Ohio food is boring and bland :'(

I'll just have to come back to the south! There was a place in downtown Fort Worth called Benitos for Mexican food. I haven't been back to Texas in years but I would still consider that my fave restaurant. Chil rellenos.. I need to go to lunch soon. I'm making myself hungry

Half and half is getting popular around here since normal sweet tea is so sweet.

This may be appropriate if a little dated ...

There are very few savory foods that I don't put garlic in -- and lots of it.
