We have a reputation here in Hungary for making English people disgusted with our transparent soups with the signature carrot and thin pasta. Often made with beef or chicken, the later including legs in more traditional and/or culinary inclined households.
!
Goulash soup is something every visitor is suggested to try, it's a richer meal, basically you don't need to have a main dish after that one.

We once had a couple of american visitors on our parish and they were amazed how we managed to organize an event that lasted more than 45 minutes. (Several hours, actually… ) The man I had a chat with said that people where he lives tend to always be in a hurry, and never commit more then an hour to such a meeting. I realized we wouldn't have time to prepare any of our traditional meals. We use this as an instrument to cook in the open, as well as a hub of social interaction and token of national pride:
!
(Mind the fire you need to put to use it. )However, Gyros, junkfood, and the fashion of eating anything but traditional is constantly invading since the '90s.

The hell we do. We don't deep fry oreos in Arkansas, that's some Scotland nonsense.
It's cute you think arkansas is deep south.
Says the guy in Alabama.
Alabama is as deep south as it gets! Florida is just what happens when Alabamians have sex with people from New York.
-
Apparently the Aussie Meat Pie is bewildering to foreigners but that's what we eat -alot- here.
Also the one spread that americans still can't understand ;-)
And a personal favourite when we go for walks…. this little guy.. yep some of us eat them.. raw and wriggly!
-
Montana is cattle country. We eat beef up here… unless it's after hunting season - Then we eat whatever I've shot that's taking up too much space in my freezer.
-
I'm in the deep south. So, we just fry everything. All of it. Chicken. Oreos. Doesn't matter.
This' pretty much on point. Get a deep fryer and you golden. Golden brown.

I live in California, so a big thing here is to put avocados on EVERYTHING. Avocado for reference. Avocado on burgers, salads, in your soups…they're nuts about them over here.

In Omaha, we call everything we make by its name, or you can get it California. That's to say, with avacado or guacamole.

I have Beer and Cheese, that's literally all Wisconsin makes here in America

Seattle does have good Chinese food; although not the Americanized Chinese you get from Panda Express at the airport. More chicken feet and bun and the like, but Vancouver Canada has even better dim sum. Sushi isn't great everywhere here but very good in a lot of places. We are obsessed with salmon and the 7 varieties and which farmers market has the best selection this week, etc. etc. Not really into salmon myself; it's fine- sort of one of those things I make occasionally when I realize people start looking at you all concerned that you're not eating any salmon in Seattle. I pair it with some sort of fancy coffee drink that comes from an independent coffee house that uses fair trade beans and some sort of cold-brew gravity press because if you're in Seattle I think you get kicked out if you're not always drinking some sort of far-too-complex coffee drink. So Salmon and coffee is our thing.
After moving to the Pacific Northwest I really miss the tangy/sweet/spicy barbecue from Kansas City/Memphis/South Carolina- each region has its own style and better part/type of animal slow smoked for days. Outside of those places, BBQ restaurants use smokers that people in those places have in their backyards. Proper BBQ comes from places where you can slow cook several entire animals at one time over a wood fire. Pair with Shiner Bock beer or an ESB.
Notes from some travels:
I've had Goulash at several different places in Europe and my favorite was "At the Devil's" in Prague for some reason- which has a slightly spicier take on the dish. Pair with a Cab Sav and enjoy vodka digetifs and their collection of satanic art after the meal.
Tacos: any meat, any style and everywhere in the world I can get one. Except Munich. I've enjoyed most tacos I've had in the world- from the Yucatán Peninsula to Omaha Nebraska and made out of everything from kobe beef to cow tongue, from fish to shrimp to pork and chicken. Most tacos have some redeeming qualities and can be doused in very hot habanero sauce to cover up any shortcomings. Pair with Pacifico or Modelo Negro and a large Margareta. Except in Munich where a margareta is for some reason a cocktail served warm without ice (neither crushed or cubed), no garnish and no salt.
In London I've tried the full English breakfast which is like a cute American breakfast with smaller portions, less creativity on the types and styles of meat and fat you can have for breakfast, and for some reason a slice of tomato. Also, most their fish-n-chips places are over-rated; I'd put the dozen or so places in the US up against the dozen or so UK places I've tried. (I've found that if you want great fried fish there are little villages dotted along the coats of Mexico and South America where they just fry the whole fish straight off the fishing boat and you eat at a picnic table in the sand.) For some reason I do love kebabs in the UK. We have gyro stands in the US and they're fine, some trending towards very good, but for some reason every crappy kebab joint I went to in the UK over the years has been superb. I also tend to go there when I've been at a pub all day, so there's that. Pair with whatever is left in the can.

If you ask the chinese tourist, they will say traditional danish food is the "open faced sandwich" or smørrebrød, as we call it. .
It is very dark, ry bread, with some version of meat or fish, and a bit of green on it.However, I would say Denmark over the last 10 years, has reinvented our traditional kitchen, with the "New Nordic". An insane respect for the ingredients, and for the taste experience. We have Michellin chefs doing street food, new places pop up everywhere, with new takes on how to make everything from a burger, to steaks, to fish, to… everything. I had a talk with an american while waiting in line for a pizza a month or so back, where she said, she has never tasted food as she does when she is in Copenhagen.
In case you are curious, New Nordic versions of the Open Faced Sandwich look alot more like this now.
