What are your favorite local foods? Is there anything that you can only find where you live? Any crazy family recipes?
I'm in Mississippi. We have lots of "Southern" food.
Cornbread, okra, Lima beans, Black eyed peas, Chow chow.
My family has a recipe that noone knows where it came from. We have never found it anywhere but in the family. We call in Banana salad. Eggs, vinegar, sugar. Its a sauce. It is odd and amazing.
Please share your foodie favorites.
Not sure what is specifically native to San Diego. Maybe fish tacos, which I do not like. I will say sushi is a very popular eat here, and I love it. Especially since I've become somewhat of a Japanophile as a result of watching so many J-vlogs on Youtube by northamerican expats.
ETA: Actually, a quick search on Wikipedia reveals that carne asada fries are actually a San Diego original. And I do like them. However, I have a sensitive tummy, and the only ones I have found are rather greasy and cause me major issues.
