A Food Trope about a country or place's gastronomy having a speciality dish. It may be Foreign Queasine, but it's just as likely that a character will fall in love with it at first bite. The well-travelled may introduce it to their family and friends, as will cooks trying to impress. Hilarity may ensue if they haven't cooked it before. Some stories use this as part of the plot - if it's unique to a specific restaurant, getting the word out is a sure-fire way of ensuring a business is a success. "Come here! you won't find this anywhere else!" Examples that are focused on how awful the concoctions are go in Foreign Queasine - this trope is more about invoking the mystique of the foreign, the rare and/or the exotic. |

The same applies to Man v. Food, which, when it isn't about pig-out gluttony, insane eating challenges and American Excess, can be surprisingly informative on regional specialties throughout the USA and where to get them. | |

In The Last Continent Rincewind is offered a "Meat Pie Floater", a meat pie suspended in thick pea soup with tomato ketchup according to taste (no honestly, it's real!) as an Ecksian regional delicacy. Rincewind ponders that all of the "Regional Delicacies" that he's been offered in his travels seem to be the kind of disgusting and inexplicable dishes that someone would only concoct while drunk which are then foisted upon unsuspecting tourists. It's a regional delicacy because no-one else in the world would be crazy enough to eat it. | |

Discworld: In The Last Continent Rincewind is offered a "Meat Pie Floater", a meat pie suspended in thick pea soup with tomato ketchup according to taste (no honestly, it's real!) as an Ecksian regional delicacy.

It's a regional delicacy because no-one else in the world would be crazy enough to eat it. Regional specialties of Ankh-Morpork include Distressed Pudding (a stodge-and-custard type dessert with prunes), Slumpie (a chunky meat-and-potato-or-whatever's-available stew similar to scouse or stovies), and the famous pig-knuckle sandwich. Yes, if you want the real Ankh-Morporkian experience, then you're asking for a knuckle sandwich. In Jingo, knuckle sandwiches and Distressed Pudding are both used as A-M's counterpart of "mom's apple pie" in patriotic battle-cries. |

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, the Galar region's signature dish is curry, which trainers can prepare while camping and share with their Pokemon. There are many variations of curry in Galar made with a wide variety of ingredients and berries for flavor, such as sausage curry, apple curry, whipped cream curry, and instant noodle curry. This is a case of Shown Their Work, as curry is popular in both Japan and Britain (the latter of which Galar is based on). | |

Girl Genius: The doomed town of Passholdt made fried cream things that Zeetha looks forward to getting to eat when they pass through town. Of course no one is making any thing in Passholdt anymore, except the occasional shrieking sound. The regional speciality of Mechanicsburg appears to be snails. Most shots of Mechanicsburg traders include at least one place selling them, Van says they can do a thousand and one things with snails and recommends the snail gelato to Agatha (who comments that if that sounds good, she must be starving to death), and the Mole King of Paris complains that it's impossible to get his favourite snails (Mechanicsburg blue-whorled grunters) since the time freeze. |

Coronation Street: Mary Taylor is well trained in a variety of different cuisines of different cultures (French, Greek, Moroccan, Russian, Spanish etc) and has put on themed nights in Roy's Rolls and The Bistro, before she got fired. Of course, the street is in the county that gave the world Lancashire Hot-Pot - lamb or mutton stew topped with potato and eaten with red cabbage. This dish was Betty's speciality at the Rovers and is still made there to her personal recipe. |

Like with curry in Galar, trainers can prepare sandwiches while adventuring with their Pokemon, using a wide array of ingredients and condiments, from the usual fixings like ham, cheese, lettuce, and tomato, to more off-beat ingredients such as fruits, rice, and noodles. In another case of Shown Their Work, the sandwiches are based on bocadillo sandwiches, which are popular in Spain, Paldea's inspiration. |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable: Antonio Trussardi is a Supreme Chef of Italian cuisine and only uses the best ingredients into antipasto and harlot spaghetti. Golden Wind: On a plane, Giorno mentions his personal favorite meal is a margarita from Naples. The JoJoLands: While discussing Paco's love of stealing, Jodio mentions "spam onigiris", referencing the real-world regional specialty of spam musubi in Hawaii. |

Asterix: The entire point of "Le Tour de Gaule d'Asterix" (Asterix and the Banquet) is Asterix and Obelix going around Gaul to pick up regional specialties (sparkling wine from Durocortorum, sausage from Tolosa, fish stew from Massilia, ham from Lutetia, etc.) to spite a Roman governor who tried to put up a palisade around the village. Also an excuse to poke fun at the various peculiarities of French regions, be it accents, labyrinthine streets, bad driving. Asterix in Corsica features terrifying Corsican cheese, which explodes if open flame is brought near it. Asterix and the Griffin has Sarmatian mare's milk cheese, which at first disgusts the Gauls but grows on Obelix. Asterix in Britain: Staples of Briton cuisine consist of warm beer, hot water with a cloud of milk, meat boiled for far too long and served with mint sauce (so horrible that a pair of Romans threatened with being thrown to the lions covered in mint sauce has the Romans protesting on the lions' behalf). |

Street Fighter IV: Used in El Fuerte's ending, where he mixes Zangief's and E. Honda's favourite foods, Chankonabe and Borscht, and add chilli peppers and lemon to the mix. The results apparently tasted very bad, as Honda and Zangief's faces turn blue with disgust. Then El Fuerte proclaims the food "tastes so great it sends you straight to heaven!" | |
