We have famous olives. Is your region famous for anything?

Hi, friend. Your region is famous for olives!! Who knows the olive oil we get here may be the one imported from your region. I am not an inhabitant of a very big city. But, it has got some quality works it is famous for. My city is famous for the international quality locks it produces and for the great Aligarh Muslim University (where i study). The locks from aligarh are exported internationally and are famous as the unbreakables. Also, the Aligarh Muslim University is a big University with a beautiful scenery and a quality education. The University is famous world wide for its culture of politeness and for the Asia`s biggest library it has. Happy Mylotting!!

Well I have been racking my brains and for the life of me can't come up with one food which my county here in the UK is famous for. The closest would be sausages but then most counties in the UK are famous for their bangers. So taking a look at the bigger picture I am going to have to say fish & chips. You cannot beat the fish & chips you get in the UK. Moist cod covered with crispy batter, deep flavoured chips and lashings of malt vinegar and salt. Go on call me a heathen, I know you want to, lol

You are really lucky. I like olive very much. I heard it’s very healthy food. I usually buy olive salad at local supermarket. I’m not sure what’s the famous in the UK. I just heard British people are very proud of their beef. It seems steak is their favourite meal plus roast beef. Happy myloting

Well, our town is famous for... hmmm. I think corruption. LOL. anyway, to be serious, our province is famous for hot springs, and resorts.. And we have a lot of specialty foods, like buko (coconut) pie, other rice cakes ( kakanin).. I bet all the filipino members here, knows what province I'm talking about. .

Im from the Wellington region in New Zealand. We are known for producing films and Director Peter Jackson's studio is located here. Scenes from Lord of the Rings, King Kong, The lovely bones ect.. were filmed here. One of Tin Tin movies is going to be filmed here soon too. Apart from films we are known for our Kapiti cheese and ice cream which is exported to supermarkets around the world. Infact I was in a French supermarket in New Caledonia a few weeks ago and found Kapiti cheese in the supermarket there side by side with the French cheeses. Kapiti cheese comes in a range of interesting flavours one of my favourites being Chilli and Lime. Their icecream also comes in a variety of flavours. E.g Lemon cheesecake, White chocolate and raspberry, Black Licorice ect.. One last thing the region is known for is the wind we are known as ''windy Wellington".

I know this is a little late, but I'll respond as well. The state I live in is famous for being the birthplace of Spam (the meat product) and waterskiing.

Cadburys Chocolate :-) Maybe other things too, but the only thing I can think of is Chocolate, oh and Shakespeare.

My area is famous for silk.Its also called the silk city.Silk is exported to many countries. Its ancient work of taking it out from silk worms.

I live in New Hampshire, a state in the north east corner of the United States, among the 6 states known here as "new england". New hampshire is noted for it's maple syrup, maple trees are every where, can't turn and spit with out hitting one. We are also noted for timber production, we have a constantly regenerating forest region and produce soem great pine lumber. We are also known for our ski resorts and mountain ranges, tourism is probably the primary industry in the norhtern half mof my state. Hiking, camping, hunting, fishing and other summer and fall activites are something people travel great distances to do here. We are known for our moose population, they are every where. We are also very well known for our fall foliage, colors up here are unmatched nearly anywhere in the world due to the unique climate, mix of tree species and vast expanses of forests.

Philippines is known for abaca for making ropes, for vinegar from palms, for gold for our jewelry and our cuisine and hospitality

olives are somewhat expensive for our normal Chinese. but we have many cheap things, too. we have toys, crabs, vegetables, etc. some time later, i will have my own website, by that time, I will introduce and describe famous products around me in details. perhaps I will upload some photos and give some descriptions by them. are you interested? tell me and let us be friends.

Lol, well I live in San Antonio, Tx so we have The Alamo. Does that make my region famous? XD

Kansas is known for hard red winter wheat. That is why we are the breadbasket of the US. It is not nearly so flavorful as olives, but a good bread is wonderful dipped in olive oil. I love olives.

I live in California and I guess California is famous for the oranges and other fruits that grow here.I've been a bit further down south and saw some farms growing strawberries and they were pretty good too. So yea, lots of fruits growing in California

Hello, Thea. We live just inside the Valancia/ Murcia border in Spain, so the oranges we grow are official Valencian oranges. They are thin skinned,sweet, and very juicy. When we walk down to the village in April and May, the air is heavy with the scent of orange blossom. From December onwards, the oranges are ready for harvest, so it's a hive of activity. Unfortunately, the price was so low this year that many of the smaller growers didn't bother to harvest them, so they fell off the trees and rotted, which seemed a terrible waste. Oranges are very cheap all year round here, ranging from 2 - 3 euros for 5 kilos, so we have freshly squeezed juice every morning. I'm missing it while we're visiting friends and family in the UK.

The area of Indiana where I grew up is known for growing corn, mostly for animal feed, but some popcorn as well and college basketball players. Currently I live in California where they do a lot of business in citrus, avocados, tomatoes and strawberries.

Walla Walla, Washington (where I reside) is the only place in the country where you can get Walla Walla Sweet Onions. Every year we have a festival commemorating the onion and you can learn and try many different recipes. Most residents around here can peel an onion and eat it as if it was fruit, I know I can. If you haven't tried one I suggest that you go to your local market and try one.

I'm from Florida. Obviously we are known for oranges since most of the oranges come from here. which are made for orange juice too. Tropicana is here in Florida. And also, I'm actually in Miami, Florida so spanish food is a very big thing around here, specifically cuban. But since there are many different latin backgrounds here, you can find just about any type of spanish restaurant you can imagine. The Florida keys are close by. they are known for their key lime pie and conch fritters which is a type of fried seafood.
