What's the best new food where you are?

For me it is Sancocho.  It is a 7 meat stew here in the Dominican Republic. Usually made with beef, pork, chicken, goat, pork sausage, pork ribs, and a bone from a smoked ham. Then lots of veggies and spices.  It is the best stew i have ever eaten.

Laufabrauð and hamborgarhryggur at Christmas
arctic char, trout, salmon, cod... fish in general is excellent
Icelandic lobster
local butter and yogurt
the soup for sprengidagur (salted meat, carrots and turnips in a pea soup.. sounds kinda "eh" but it's really good, and the holiday translates as "exploding day" so you have to eat a lot)
reindeer steaks


forget about the meatballs though.  Meatballs here are creeptastic

Oreneta I fully agree with you as for shellfish (calamarcets a la planxa, mmmmmmm )

And botifarra is the best kind of sausages I have ever eaten (I must confess I'm not completely neutral, I was spoonfed it in the French side of Catalonia )

But I don't find coffee here that good. It is not bad, but too light compared with a real italian espresso. And it is hard to find a proper cappuccino or even a good macchiato

Oh mah! I live in France, for goodness' sake, where else can we eat *great* and I did some research on the matter

(Maybe cause I could eat crème fraîche at every single meal... the scale is happy... not!)

In Romania :
Sarmale (rolled cabbage stuffed with rice and meat)

Dry Carnati Plescoi (homemade sausage from buzau, you can find it in some restaurant) ..hmmm this one sooo delicious
Don't buy it from the supermarket coz it doesn't taste the same.

Zacusca (good to spread on the bread, contain Roasted red pepper, wild mushroom, some people add aubergine in it)

Salata de vinete( kind of salad,look like a thick paste, contain aubergine and onion)
