    Shawarma and a Vodkow martini.

    This is how we explain storm watches v. storm warnings, for reference:

    Edit: Second choice would be a Killaloe Sunrise and an Old Style Pilsner. Both are ok, on the simpler side, and people often loudly argue that the fancier alternatives with more toppings and complexity are better.

      Hol up. I’m in Nova Scotia / Halifax and our thing is the Donair apparently. How many Canadian cities food claim is shaved meat wrapped in a wrap type thing?

        The differences are subtle, but important:
        -Donair sauce is sickly sweet (imo, I hate donair sauce) and made with condensed milk.
        -The spices used on the meat are different.

        It’s a good question, though - I’ve always associated donair with Halifax, and shawarma with Ottawa (it’s more a ubiquity thing than anything else). Does any Canadian city lay claim to the gyro?

    Thin, crispy, square cut pizza. And probably an Old Style. But I wish we were better known for our abundance of great craft beer.

    There’s a few tourism foods we’re very well known for, but the locals would get the above choices.

    Pickled herring, new potatos, sour cream and chive, oh and strawberries.

    At least during midsummer.

    But on christmas we have pickled herring, potatos, sour cream, chive and cold smoked rain deer meat.

        I was fresh awake and happy to be spoiled for choice 😀. The answer is, was, and always will be fries.

    Philly: A cheesesteak, hoagie, or Italian roast pork (with broccoli rabe, roasted hot peppers, and sharp provolone cheese) sandwich, and a citywide special (traditionally a 12oz PBR and a shot of Jim Beam for $5)

    Yuengs & Wings (which rhymes) would be another solid choice

    For the kids, maybe a birch beer and a soft pretzel
