A facebook friend asked, tell us where you live by naming a food. I thought of all sorts of foods I had learned from living in the USA, Spain, and Singapore, and visiting other countries. Here's my list of favourite food and drink.
Canada
1 Maple syrup (on waffles at breakfast time in Canada). Now, in the uk
France
brie
Camembert cheese
crepes (Mont St Michel speciality, served from restaurants and kiosks hot with Grand Marnier)
Marron glace (sweet chestnut paste) in tins (which I first discoverd in the British Channel islands which are near France)
Indonesia
1 Beef rendang (coconut and spices).
Malaysia
1 Turkey ham. (Muslims don't eat pork.)

Summer pudding.
Scones with clotted (double thick) cream and strawberry jam,
Crumpets (warmed so the holes absorb melting butter and jam.
