soon Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I mean anything from a dry rub spice blend to chutney, to BBQ sauce, to dressing, to dip. Whats your regions extra thing? I'll go first. I live in Ontario, Canada. Mine would be Maple Syrup. Close second would be Sauerkraut or Horseradish. Hope other Ontarians will add to my list too as theres certainly more. Frying fresh water fish fillets in a coating of crushed Corn Flakes is another. And its a very multicultural place so others places signatures feel like they represent this area too.

MillionsOfSpiders Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Gravy is a must with roast dinners and chips, I can't eat chips without gravy! We also have Hendersons Relish in Sheffield, which I suppose Is a bit like Worcester sauce, got to have it on cheese on toast. I'm hungry now Edited May 8, 2017 by MillionsOfSpiders 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why about marmalade? i always associated that with England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 @Gracii Guns @MillionsOfSpiders, I wouldn't have thought to pair Worcester with cheese toast, bit it sounds delicious! I know its not the exact same, but I have some Worcester and am gonna try that. Its interesting to me that its called a relish, as round here a relish would be something with diced pieces of vegetable in a vinegar. Neat! I live near Quebec where poutine is popular so theres lots here too. Poutine is fries/chips, gravy and cheese curds. Delicious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmalade is always served in tiny jars at hotel breakfasts though. I'm going to give Bovril an honourable mention in this thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mustard seeds are not hot nor pungent at all until they are cracked or ground and mixed with a cold liquid. It is the chemical reaction between two compounds, myrosin, and sinigrin, that combines to turn up the heat when the cells of the seeds are broken and mixed with cold water. This combination results in a mustard oil that can actually cause burning or blistering when it comes in contact with the skin, so be careful when making your own mustard. Wasbi is the answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 There was a rumour going around back in Redcar that Uncle Abdul's special sauce was being added to the garlic sauce at Mo's Palace kebab shop. They actually lost so much business they had to display a sign in the window that effectively said "we're not wanking in the garlic sauce". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 I really should've thought of this first: 1000 Island Dressing I live pretty near one edge of the 1000 Islands. Whereas Maple syrup is common in many places here. Some love it, some hate it. Lines of salad dressing companies sometime discontinue and re continue distribution of it even. I like it a lot, even though I kinda forgot it exists for a bit. It was made somewhere somewhat near here but there doesnt seem to be a regional pride for it and I dont see it used in restaurants or anything much. No festivals in its honour I dont think. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand_Island_dressing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
