    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?

            Similar, but with differences (slightly different non-meat additions, often with a yogurt sauce rather than the condensed milk donair sauce).

            Basically a Canadian variant of the döner kebab. The wiki entry has some useful background: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donair

    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.

      Caesar is so good but the store brand clamato sucks, too thin.

        I’m sorry but seafood does not belong anywhere near alcohol

        I’m looking at you too, Mexico. Micheladas are delicious but hold the clamato.

        I do love me a Nanaimo bar, though I dislike when they’re too sweet. Honestly dark chocolate works best for those. Also love tiger paw ice cream

          I’m the same. It’s been years since I bought one, so I just make my own to my own sweetness preference.

          How about beaver tails / horse blankets / whale tails? With just plain ol’ cinnamon and sugar.

    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
