Rules:
It has to be a local dish (not seen outside region and/or country), and it has to be something that usually only the locals like.
Here, try this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian

or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balut

You may very well want to stop making the list.

Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

Scotland seems to have so many candidates, too. I'm surprised so few have appeared.

5.) Scrapple
In my best Homer voice, "Mmmm. . . scrapple."

My wife eats biscuits and gravy, but she won't let me cook scrapple. Go figger.

The funny part about this one is, i did spend 4 weeks in Kuala Lumpur during summer 2002.

BUT i forgot to taste some durians while i was there. Shame on me. Although i don't consider the smell as bad as some people do.

Below is a link I came across to a couple of recipies that are both "interesting" and "local". I think, however, I'll leave the preparation to the Canadians in the audience. :)

Is polenta made with limewater treated corn? The use of hominy always seemed to make grits unique and different than polenta.

Goetta (my grandma would save all the left over pork and beef roasts, grind those, and all the leftover gravy to cook the oats in):

Cincinnati Chili - "3-Ways" are the best, and there's a definate following as to whether Skyline or Gold Star is the better (I prefer Gold Star, less watery):

I believe that the important part is using a base to help loosen and remove the hulls. I was under the impression that both slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) and lye (sodium hydroxide) were used. Lye traditionally being obtained from wood ash and lime made from heating limestone or shells.
