Looking for foods to try and share a bit of my own culture. My family is cantonese viet and I grew up eating in a lot of traditional banquet hall restaurants. Usually these are dim sum menu for lunch and traditional shared foods for dinner. Most people have tried the common ones like siu mai (pork wrapper dumpling) and haw gow (shrimp rice dumpling) but my favorites are the uncommon ones like ngau zaap (beef offal) and baak wan fung zaau (pickled chicken feet).
Ngau zaap is basically braised brown sauce using off cuts, usually stomach and whatnot, with chinese radish. Its very savory, kinda like if you made an asian gravy.
Baak wan fung zaau is just chicken feet pickled in white vinegar. If you had pickled radish it’s essentially the same pickling and the chicken feet is gelatinous and a bit crunchy. You can also get them sometimes boneless since eating around the bones is kinda a pain. I really like pickled foods so this is one of my faves
According to the internet, American foods best known abroad are cheeseburgers, hot dogs, and fried chicken.

Not “my culture”, but the region where I now live. Green chile on everything.

Chicken green chile stew:

Chile relleno with red chile sauce:

Pepperoni green chile pizza:

Green chile ice cream, it’s very chilly:

And, here’s what you get if you ask for chile cheese fries. Because “chile” sounds like “chili”, but they’re not the same thing:

Most (in)famous is probably balut (partially developed duck egg), but we should be known for adobo.
I haven’t made adobo in years. I must remedy that.
Maybe it’s more Filipino-American, but I’d have guessed pancit/lumpia.
Scotland
Any questions?
Funny, thats ones of my favorite dishes.
Czech Republic. Schnitzel (řízek) and beer. Yes, we stole it from Germany 😂
Also rohlík, a really weird piece of bread that looks like this:
Actually delicious tho.
Oh and more beer. Also, did I mention beer? Yeah, even more beer. Beer for breakfast, lunch, dinner and as a midnight snack. Not even joking. I’m an exception tho, as I don’t drink at all.

Your fish and chips photo is all wrong. I’d bet you a shiny new penny that’s from a pub, not a chippy. The batter on a good chippy fish is rough. Here, this picture is from a chippy (also featuring mushy peas, curry sauce, and scraps - all optional at your best chippies).

Haha you can blame wikipedia for that one, i tried to use most sources from their wiki page
It does look yummy though
Bad fish and chips is sad and bland. Good fish and chips is glorious. And while some chippies aren’t great, you’re more likely to get good fish and chips from a chippy than from a pub.
Phở
Newfoundland so probably jigs dinner
Is it any good? I don’t think I’ve heard of this before.
Yeah it’s cabbage, rutabega (which we call turnip), potato, carrots, and salt beef. We have it with turkey on holidays and some people have it every Sunday
Sounds great
Probably poutine, pretty good when done well
Green Jello with carrots and marshmallows, sometimes whipped with whipped cream. Utah.
Cursed
I’m American - so all of them.
Borscht
Smørrebrød.
