Maybe most of the food is based in the ideals of what we want it to be, but the reality is the ingredients and the people who cook of your region.

Brother, we have all of those ingredients everywhere. We have a little British store run by expats who could get whatever packaged crumpet you use. Shit, I can make a batch of crumpets in about 15 minutes.

It's not like a crazy recipe that needs balanced flavors to be done right. Like I've never had a good poutine outside of Quebec. It's always sad beige gravy with the wrong seasonings or mozzarella or frozen fries or all of the above. It is never right.

What we can also talk about is local places making local dishes but they do it wrong and cheap or "good enough" and people come from abroad and try the dishes and think they're mid because they went to the wrong place.

TL;DR: I love poutine.

The Cannibal Sandwich, which doesn't actually use human flesh, but is also not a sandwich. Anyway, you take a slice of rye cocktail bread, spread on some raw, ground beef, then top it with some sliced onion, salt, and pepper. You can't get it ready-made, because nobody likes e. coli or salmonella poisoning. In fact, you have to make special arrangements to get the beef ground by a butcher in a clean grinder, and pretty much eat it the same day.

Maple Walnut ice cream seems to be impossible to find in stores outside of New England

Salt soup

This was a common school snack when I was growing up.

Jam that doesn't get moldy. Store-bought jam is usually made from freeze-dried powder (supply-chain effects) while mold doesn't like the acids in real jam. Learned that the hard way after i moved out from parents farm.
