I'm pretty sure you can find Carne Sada (marinated steak) anywhere in the world, but San Diego, CA has some of the tastied Carne Sada dishes around.

Especially the heavy in the belly Carne Sada Fries. It'll make you go to sleep.

some of the things that are local to us are , meat pies of all different flavours, fish n chips really crispy batter , hot chips(french fries (big thick chips )) rolled up in paper

feijoas, green lipped mussels, marmite and cheese sandwhiches

and in the south island they have cheese rolls which are slices of white bread with grated cheese and onion soup mix rolled up then baked in the oven

If you do come to LA, remember there's two Okidog spots, this site will help you decide which to visit.
Heh that actually sounds pretty good.

Default South-Central Arizona

Foods common to the South-Central part of Arizona:

1) Green Chile: slow roasted pork and beef, tossed with tomato sauce, and green chiles. Green chile is typically eaten as a burro (burrito).

2) Green Chile Enchilada Casserole: This is a home comfort food - green chile (see above) tossed with sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, and shredded cheddar cheese. This mixture is spooned in alternating layers in a casserole dish with layers of tortilla chips.

Living in Amish Country I will say Whoopie Pies. Soft cake like cookies with buttercream frosting in between them. This time of year i like the carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and Pumpkin with Sweet Butter cream.

I went to my local market yesterday after work and picked up some of the Chocolate, Pumpkin and Vanilla. I had some guests from out of town over for dinner last night and that is always a fun thing to serve for dessert.
