Dundee calorie intense things, made me pretend to be ok when climbing some mountainous hills.

 

[OneStrike]

Is that a place?

Almost certainly not, but the locals claim the location and dish as their own, full power to them.

Welsh Rarebit

Devonshire clotted cream is a thing

Has anyone mentioned Cumberland Pie yet?

 

[May Kasahara]

I suppose pasties, proper ones, could constitute a full meal, but not the latter 2?

Clearly you've never rolled in from the pub on Boxing Day, half-cut on port

 

[Epona]

It's difficult to think of whole meals that are attributed to a place, plenty of separate dishes though.

 

[weepiper]

Arbroath smokies.

 

[brogdale]

Oh yes!

Philly Cheese Steak. Properly done a thing of beauty and my death row meal.

Beware the many pale imitations.

It's a meal.

Protein, carbs and vegetables. And cheese whiz which probably isn't technically food as such but Provolone is too high falutin'.

Which part of the UK is that from and named after?

Croydon buffet. Google it. Except don’t. I made it up. And it’s not food. Probably.

Sounds like a mild threat
"If you're not careful I'll give you a Croydon Buffet"

 

[xenon]

inevitably people are just naming a place and a food stuff. Probably using Google. No one has heard of these things. Dover doughnut. For example. what the fuck even is that. Something you do in a stolen Ford Escort
