If someone's travelling to your country, what meal/snack/drink/dessert/whatever from your country do you think they absolutely MUST try?

Weeeeee don't really have our own food, just like terrible versions of other peoples'. 8D
Though I was raised with a nice dose of j00f00d like kugel (noodles > potatoes), gefilte fish, and a shitton of couscous and houmous and weird soups with beets.

You just reignited my longing for Spanish food! I would love to have some patatas bravas right about now. Or tortilla de patatas...
I prefer the longer, coiled churros. I'd be pretty happy with either though

ufff .. everything from Mexico is amazing!
In Tamaulipas: cabrito en sangre (goat in blood .. it sounds gross, but it is amazing) or cabrito en salsa verde (goat in green sauce ... green sauce = avocado, tomatillo, and chile serrano)
In Nuevo Leon: arrachera
In Baja California: Langosta Estilo Puerto Nuevo (lobster)
In Oaxaca: Tlayudas (my favorite food ever)
In Puebla: Mole Poblano
In Aguascalientes: Pollo de San Marcos
In Veracruz: Tamales Veracruzanos and the coffee (especially at Veracruz, Veracruz)
In Sinaloa: any seafood ... any ... all of it is supposed to be amazing (I don't eat seafood, so I cannot tell you first-hand)
There's something special in each state. Mexico is a very diverse country, even though not many may think so.

I saw a video of Daul Kim eating this particular brand of dried mangoes.
These are great substitute for candies.
Prawns in sour brouth. Omg this is to die for.
Halo-halo. (‘mix-mix’) is a popular Philippine dessert consisting mainly of finely-shaved ice, evaporated milk, and a delightful concoction of preserved sweets such as young shredded coconut, beans, boiled banana chunks, macapuno, sago, gelatin and topped with crispy popped rice and a glob of ice cream, among other yummy tidbits such as ube and leche flan. It looks damn sweet but it's a pretty healthy dessert imho.
The ever-amazing Leche Flan.
Beer yo. hehe.
LOL. It probably takes away the guilt.
PS: I dislike Durian. It stinks but most people like it, even my father.

There's lotttttts of good Palestinian/Lebanese food, like:
Labneh, which is like some cream that comes from a goat, I believe? It's slightly sour but so so so so so good
Mlookhieh, rice topped with some spinach-like thing and chicken...doesn't sound good, but it's delicious
And as for desserts, we tend to end meals with dates,
Creme caramel,
And of course, Arabic coffee:

People from Quebec love poutine and it comes from here. I like it, but not that much.
We're eating "ragout" with meat and vegetables..and something that is really good: tourtiere. It's a kind of pie with beef and sometimes pork. I can't really explain it but it's really good.

It's like one of the largest food and beverage companies here. They've been around since 1890, and their beer bottle design is considered iconic.

From Denmark :D
Frikadeller (danish meat balls). The best thing ever :)
Red sausage. Hot dog with the red sausage is the "national" fast food dish ;)
Danish pastry is the best!
Smørebrød (open sandwiches). It's made with rugbrød (dark bread) which is also very Danish. I don't really like these, but my dad does!
For christmas we usually treat ourselves with:
Ris ala mande (rice pudding). We usually put an almond in there and whoever gets it wins a prize.
Æbleskiver (pancake like thingys). Usually served with gløgg (warm wine).
