I think this is pretty interesting, the different types of food and beverages that people enjoy in Australia, England etc. What would you suggest if we Americans come to visit.
Also what would you not suggest, like blood pudding or something kinda bad.

If you are in Edmonton, Alberta you must go to Tony's Pizza. It is wonderful. (Sit in the section to the left of the door so that you can watch Tony and his sons throwing the pizza dough into the air... )
If you are in Vancouver, British Columbia you must try Osaka.
In British Columbia we have lots of little wineries and the wine tours are really nice in the interior of British Columbia.
Calgary Alberta has a burger joint called Bob's Hamburgers that is famous and Jann Arden has a restaurant that is lovely and serves delicious food.
That's it for now... back to work. ... specific foods? This place I call home is multicultural... It makes life interesting and delicious.

If your going to visit the south, Georgia, NC, SC watch the drinking water. I moved from NYC to North Carolina and had the runs for days till my body got used to the water.

I would suggest trying North Carolina BBQ, it's incredible. Especially if you like vinegar. There was a place in FL that did a ton of business on Dixie Highway, the place was packed. It was called the Dixie Pig.

Surely the idea when visiting other places is to explore every thing possible including the local food, remember what is reccomended is not allways what we like, more fun to find out for ourselves.

Americans would love our water holes in Northern Australia, crocs just love you on their menu, a few Americans have been taken by the crocs.

An American would enjoy a South Australian Icon, The Pie Floater, a meat pie in pea soup, i hear it is great after a few beers or a large Kangaroo Steak, cooked Whitchity Grubs downed by a Darwin Stubby, a 2.2 litre/ 80 fl oz bottle of beer. --- An of course my favourite Vegemite.

If you were to visit my home, I'd plan an Armenian meal for you, with string cheese, basturma, soujik, cracker bread, yalangi, lamajoons, and tourshig for h'ors doeurves. Madzoon to wash it down. You'd have to try a little bulgar salad and some keyma. Pilaf, shish kebab, souborag, dolma, sarma for the dinner. Of course, dessert would be kadaif , paklava, and rojik.
There is a good-sized Armenian community in Fresno, and I'd serve these because my main heritage is Armenian. All these things are "typical" fare, with no "weird stuff" I've also spelled nearly every word incorrectly; sorry about that.

well there is nothing kinda bad if you like it, I think we should all try new or food that is new to us when visiting, I really didn't like some of the food from the islands but I did try them, crocodile isn't my cup of tea but I would still encourage visitors to try it, also (dare I say) I don't care for the commercial Aussie pie, but would still suggest visitors here to try one, but the one thing all should try is vegemite, great on a crunchy roll with Smiths chips....yum

I think I'll save the meat pie for my visit to Scottland!
Bye the way...Don't visit Ireland unless you like BIG breakfasts and fish!!! (Their salads are pathetic-and bitter)

I live in the US.. I have noticed that food is regional.. You dont have to leave the states to find new and exiting regional foods.. .But I sure would love to travel around the world.

If you go to the UK or Ireland you must have fish and chips. In the UK the two best are the Anstruther fish bar in Fife, and in London, Kerbisher and Malt In Shepherds Bush Rd. I don't know the best in Ireland but you should drink Guinness, nothing beats Guinness except another Guinness.

I would not reccommend or advise against any food or drink to a typical American visiting my country of origin Romania. While visiting the Amazon Peruvian area I offended an American part of our group for eating some food that was a local delicacy which to him was disgusting without even trying and he had the guts to tell me...
