that's budae jjigae that solemn looking grandma, who is said to be the original originator of said jjigae, is making.
what about you? what are your favorite hometown winter foods?

Beavertails :D

Beavertails :D
the animal kind or the pastry kind?
never had (or heard of) either one, but both look intriguing:

I live in my hometown, so have all access all the time.
Cheese curds, deep fried.
Brats, grilled.
Friday fishfry, fried walleye.
I enjoy the local walleye on a regular basis.
The other two I will allow myself only once per football season....that's it.
-
Deep fried cheese curds are not a hometown food, in fact I have not seen them anywhere aside from a renaissance festival but I will fight you for them!!!

I'm trying to think. Seattle is an area that doesn't have a lot of deep history of its own. But, I think I'm going with the ubiquitous bowl of pho:

what I miss about southern Ontario is the length of the corn on the cob season... and wild black raspberries
sometimes I crave the idea of my grandmother's hamburger soup, but it's not as good as I like to remember it
as far as Newfoundland food goes, I get inexplicable cravings for chips, dressing & gravy... also fish cakes, but that's not inexplicable and I might just make some soon now that I think about it.

Oh man, this. We used to have black raspberries in our backyard in Massachusetts and they were so good. I don't understand why you can't get them in the store. Red raspberries and blackberries, sure. Black raspberries, never seen 'em. Can they not grow/harvest black raspberries just like other berries? It's so weird.
-
Yes on black raspberries. My mom still has them on her farm. Also really good Macintosh apples fresh from the tree.
-
Interesting question. My hometown didn't have anything really distinctive, and we hardly ever went out to eat anyway. But I remember going to the store for a Dr. Pepper. The old lady across the street made the best pinto beans and cornbread ever. And my favorite meal at home was chicken and rice casserole, with a bunch of melted cheese on top.

Chili half smoke from this place.

to me, hometown foods = foods that remind you of home, wherever that may be, even without a long and storied history or distinctiveness.
which is to say: excellent examples, Natasha and Run Amok.
(http://www.w2d.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/20110320-ottawa-rideau-canal-winterlude-beaver-tails.jpg)
nice.
a question: is it not unusual for Ottawanians to wander about the city wearing skates, as shown in this picture, during the winter months?
eta: I also did not know about wild black raspberries that are different from blackberries in that the first are hollow inside, whereas the second aren't.
nature, thou art wondrous indeed.

mango, the canal that runs through the city freezes and is the world's longest skating rink. So it is common to skate around and get beavertails or maple syrup taffy or whatever. Some of my friends who work downtown can skate to work :)

onawhim, that's so cool! I had no idea.
For me it would be raspberries as well (the backyard was filled with them): we'd gather tons and take them to our next door neighbor who would make 2 pies, one for us. :heartbeat:
my grandmother's potato kugel, eaten with sour cream with my beloved grandfather. same with matzo brie but I make it all the time.

mussels
-
I love the frozen canal! So very cool.
I don't have much to add - except I do crave pizza sometimes. Big slices with blistered crust that you fold to eat. Yum!
-
I am going to add bagels. And lox. And fabulous cheeses.
-
yes, bagels are a big one. There are no decent bagels in Ashevegas so I learned to make them. Happily I found a NY Bagel-style shop 20 minutes away in another town recently (Hendersonville), so I'm happy!
-
We have TONS of black raspberries on our property, but this year, they were far outnumbered by raspberries (aka wine berries) which were just divine. We probably picked 20+ lbs of them just around our yard! We do have some blackberries, but we did not get as many this year, they ripened oddly this year.

Hong Kong Roasted Chestnuts. See these guys around the streets in winter.

Stewed tomatoes and canned yellow beans.

the greek yogurt thread just gave me a craving for a peanut butter and old cheddar cheese sandwich.

2. how do you eat them -- not as they are, I presume?

I grew up across the border. We were rarely allowed a can of pop, but when we were, it was Vernor's. I don't know if you can find it anywhere in Canada other than in the Windsor area.
And perch!! I live near the ocean and can get all sorts of fresh fish and shellfish, but I do sometimes crave a good feed of pan-fried perch.
-
Perch and walleye are my favorites...
Did you ever have a Vernor's float?

one in Detroit at a pizza parlour... can't remember the name of the place but it had a player piano in the lobby

Vernor's, how I love you :heartbeat:

and again, I ask (cause I'm not gonna be IGNORED): how do you eat them perch and walleye in your hometown?

My Kansas hometown didn't have a distinctive food, but I really miss the pizza at a little place that went out of business in the '80s. Biscuit-style crust; can't get that most places anymore.
And on my and my sister's birthdays we'd always get a cake from a neighborhood bakery. It had a distinctive taste. Later in life I lived two doors down from the place and could have that cake anytime I wanted. It eventually closed too. :(
-
I have none, is that weird?
-
Aren't those yellow perch? We never ate the yellow perch, only white perch.
-
...filleted and fried...
ah yes, fried, of course: as water meets fire, fish become art.
(which, trust me, sounds way better when said in Korean)
speaking of… back in my hometown, fish are more commonly grilled, like this:

which are then served like this:

We went to a Korean restaurant last night. So delicious!

Yellow perch...I had to google white perch, which isn't a true perch...

and what did you have?
you can no more say So delicious! and not say what you ate than OBH can post a picture of slaughtered fish and not say how he eats 'em.
I shan't allow that in my thread.
… white perch, which isn't a true perch...
[the more you know]
and Moronidae is a cool name for a fish -- much cooler, IMO, than Perch.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_perch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_perch)
I did some googling too and found that in Maine the yellow perch tend to be wormy and off-tasting in the summer, which is why they're not eaten.
I miss fishing in ME. We always caught tons of fish. Here in VT, no.

I ate a tofu stonebowl. I don't know the Korean name for this, sorry. I like spicy food so in addition to the sauce I mixed in, they brought me a small bit of sauce with habañeros. It hurt. The little dishes of veggies were delicious, with the kimchee and picked daikon radish being my favorite.
-
I ate a tofu stonebowl.
ah, that.
(I don't know the name for it either, because I still can't tell what it was that you ate :D)
no matter, another tofu in a stone bowl I like:

I was afraid of that! :) There are many items on the menu translated from Korea but this isn't one of them:

(see thumbnails below)
It's a sizzling stone bowl with rice, tons of thinly sliced vegetables and tofu and it continues to cook on the hot pot while you're eating. They have red sauce at the table to be mixed in, it's just a bit spicy but very flavorful. And they bring out many little bowls of picked and sweet vegetables (e.g., pickled kimchee, pickled daikon). I like to mix them in to make the food more flavorful and the textures more interesting, no idea if that's supposed to be done.

aka gochujang sauce

aka banchan

of course it is; that is the very definition of bibimbop (which is what you had in a stone bowl) -- you put everything in a bowl, and mix it all up.
indeed, bibim= mixing, and bop=rice.
anyway, thank you for elaborating further; with that piece of my curiosity satisfied, I now feel more at peace.
-
:)
It's delicious. I've heard of bim bim bop but had no idea I was eating it. The problem is that I always reach the crisp rice at the bottom when I'm full, but how can you not eat the best part???
They also serve vegetable pancakes that are very delicious.
-

dolsot (dol=stone; sot=pot) bibimbop is what you must have had.

lest I abuse your kindness, I shall not inquire about this any further.

bibimbap is one of my most favoritest foods in the whole world.

I don't know what to tell you about the pancakes other than that they have chunks of delicious vegetables (the green onion stands out) and they're served with a soy-based sauce. SO good.
