Thought I’d ask this because I want to discover more foods from across the world

(Also I shouldn’t have to say this to americans, please state where you are from and state where you are from without acronyms or shortened names because I’ve seen US Defaultism on lemmy and not all of us are going to know your acronyms considering we’re global users)

    Not sure if it’s “local”:

    But the “燒賣

    From Guangzhoug, but the first time I remember eating it in a NYC Chinese Restaurant at a family gathering when we dined at the restaurant. So I assume its probably the Americanized version.

    Now I’m in Philly, and I still occasionally have some 燒賣

    Its not even like an “Entrée”, more like afternoon tea-time snacks.

    As a Chinese-American, I haven’t even tried much “western food” besides the typical Pizzas, Fastfood burgers, chicken nuggets, fries, and I did have some “Hoagies” (aka: subway sandwitches), and a cheesesteak once or twice. Never had like an actual western “meal”.

    Idk, I feel like I’m missing out on stuff, but I don’t know where to start, because I’m a picky eater… 😓
