You forgot the brunswick stew. Heretic. You probably secretly like that South Carolina mustard based barbeque abomination. :PI'm in North Carolina. We are known for BARBEQUE; which is a noun, not a verb in these parts. The eastern and western sides of the state have an intense, never-ending debate as to the proper barbeque sauce recipe.
We are also avid drinkers SWEET TEA and CHEERWINE.
Grits, cornbread, fried okra, collard greens, and black-eyed peas are considered to be standard fare at any non-nationwide chain, family restaurant.
Yes. Most folks eat brunswick stew with their 'Que. Personally, I don't care for it.
And, yes, mustard based barbeque is an abomination! (lol)
hmm...haveing to agree with the whole vegemite thing, but the only way to eat vegemite is with cheese!!!!!!
the pie floaters down at Harry’s Café de Wheels are to die for, we have a local pie shop here that was inspired to do business (the fast food/meat pie industry) because of that cafe.
they do an awesome Oyster Mornay pie!
other than that, um...wierd aussie foods, um...the strange thing is, alot of our foods just sort of piggy backs on other culture's foods.
although, now its time for me to get REAL traditional...
try eating a boiled Emu Egg...not as easy as it sounds, and very filling...
Kangaroo liver...you can only get it after you hunt if there are no elders around...its the best part of the roo.
Wombat is a little gamey and tough.
Stingray tastes awesome, just remember not to overcook it, you still want it to be a little pink.
Pickled squid/crab/fish/anything that grows and is edible.
other than that...i cant really think of anything else...
When I was in Korea, I developed a taste for cheonggukjang, a fermented bean paste dish that smells like old gym socks (or, as wikipedia writes, has "very strong odor [that] is not universally enjoyed"). hehehe
Wow! My SO can't even stand to be in the house with Kim Chee.

I was talking with a friend from another part of the UK yesterday, and he was shocked at the local-to-lancashire "special treat" of a large slice of rich fruit-cake, served with a big wedge of strong cheese, the idea being you eat them together. My friend though tjhis was disgusting, but ask anyone in lancashire, and they will love it
so, thinking on an international scale (and, ignoring "national dishes") what foodstuff is popular local to you, which people in the rest of the world would go "euuuuu" to
I know peanut butter and root beer seem to disgust a lot of people outside the states.
Anyway, fruitcake and cheese sounds good!
