Which food can represent your country?

Yes I am from Malaysia. So I agree Nasi Lemak can represetn Malaysia. I have one thing to add....I am from Penang state. So hokkien mee can represent Penang!!! LOL

This ought to be very interesting as far as the Unioted States responders. I would have to say Hot Dogs for the USA. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Hainanese Chicken Rice for Singapore. Cheers.

Dear friend, In India it is Rotti and Dal (Chappati and dal it is curry) and in the State where I am called Kerala it is Sadhya it make of rice with lots of curries and pappadams it tastes good mostly it is special during marriages and other special occassions and festivals. In the catagory of non-vegetarian it is chicken briyani and in our it is fish fry or fish curry with rice. All over India it is again Chappatti or Rotti with dal.

Hmmm ... We have a lot of local foods here that would make Indonesian recall their country again. Gado-gado and Ketoprak (Jakarta), Gudeg (Yogyakarta), Sagu (Papua), Nasi Padang and Sate Padang (Padang, West Sumatera island), etc. And I think I will miss Nasi Padang very much if I go abroad. Oh yeah ... Tempe Goreng is still my favorite for years. :P Wait a minute ... I am craving for foods now ... LOL.

Well friend India represents lots of food both veg and nonveg. Each part of India has its own type of food. North part of India is famous for mughali foods,Dum foods which include veg non veg curries prepared with special spices and chapatis Chapati are of different type like stuffed with vegetable..... Eastern part is famous for fish curries in nonveg and Posta curry which is prepared with opiumseeds. South is famous for Dosa's flat pan cake of rice and lentils stuffed with different types of cooked vegetable. Idli it is steamed grounded rice served with grounded coconut. There are endless foods..

Hi friend, we Keralite official food is Rice. In our language it is said to be CHOR or ooNN. Breakfast we have any light food, that may be dosa or any food made of flour. Lunch we have this rice, with lot of side dishes. Wheat flour items or rice at night

it is really hard to say for my country. its a huge country and so many varied food in different region. if i take my state, its fish and rice.

another one that could represent the philippines would either be lechon (roasted whole pig) or adobo (either chicken or pork or both..) ehhee.. i think im hungry...

I am from China. There are some delicious foods that can represent my country. I think dim sim is one of them. I love China

Grandpa Bob beat me, but I was going to say hamburgers, although I think hot dogs might equal them in being culturally USA - yet, do we really have any food that is only ours? Hot dogs = frankfurters = German sausage. Hamburgers = named after Hamburg, Germany, but why? But, what do they say? Baseball, hot dogs and apple pie - all American symbols, so maybe it IS hot dogs. We can buy burgers all around the world now, but I don't see too many Wienerschnitzels or Coney Dogs anywhere but in the SouthWest or NorthEast.

America? The first phrase that comes into my mind is "That's as American as apple pie!"

Without a doubt, Nasi Lemak is Malaysian. It may have originated as a Malay delicacy, but now every race in Malaysia has their own version of it, making it a universal Malaysian dish. It definitely is our(I'm Malaysian) signature dish. Though unfortunately, it's not as famous as other country's food. What about roti canai (aka roti prata)? Rojak? I think these are significantly malaysian too.

Here in the Philippines I would say it's the sinigang (it is a hot and sour soup) This is simply because it represents the Filipino's unity despite of diversity. There are actually many variations of sinigang but their main difference lies on two ingredients. The meat that will be used and the ingredient that would make it sour. For the meat we could use pork, beef, fish, shrimps etc. as for the souring agent we use tamarind, guava, kamias, miso etc. You might see that we actually could use any type of ingredient that would represent us but actually in the end we are just one dish united just like the sinigang.

im from manila, philippines and the food that can represent our counrty is "ADOBO" ., cheers kabayan! Ü we loved it!

Good question curious.There are many foods which are typical of my country.I am from India and it has lots and lots of recipes and food varieties.But if the question of representation of my country through a food item is concerned then it has to be very popular world wide and I have to select a food item of my nation which most of other country citizens must be aware of.Hmmmm let me think,it can be roti (Indian bread),Dosa,Idli,Chhole Bhature........hmmmmmm ........yes! it has to be Tandoori Chicken
