    Hrm, the "originating" is kinda difficult to pin down but I'll go with:
    Kartoffelsalat with Leberkäse
    Resteraunts all over Germany, don't know about the availability abroud.
    A good Kartoffelsalat (potatosalad) has a sweet-sour taste due to vinnegar and onions, add in the strong meaty taste of either Leberkäse or a Schnitzel and mustard and round it up with a nice Weizen... Heaven

    Edit: damn, now I'm hungry :(

    Rawon

    Originally from Surabaya in Indonesian province of East Java.

    It is a strong rich tasting traditional Indonesian beef black soup .

    The soup is made of ground mixture of garlic, shallot, keluak, ginger, candlenut, turmeric, red chili and salt sauteed with oil until it gets aromatic. The sauteed mixture is then poured into boiled beef stock with diced beef. Lemongrass, galangal, bay leaves, kaffir lime leaves and sugar are then added as seasonings. The special dark/black color of rawon comes from the keluak as the main spice which also gives the strong nutty flavor. The soup is usually garnished with green onion and fried shallot, and served with rice, together with baby bean sprouts, salted preserved egg, shrimp crackers and chili sauce on the side.

    Temaki

    Any temakerie and most japanese restaurant. (at least in Brazil)
    It's cone shaped and is made with nori, rice, and something else. I like the one with salmon, cream cheese, terê sauce, and chives S2
    It's a japanese "fast-food" type that actually became more popular in Brazil than Japan.

    Is the food really tasty, or is it simply because restaurants add flavor enhancers(MSG) to the food to get you to like it?

    Most food like Mcdonalds have "Artifical Flavor" in their food.

    But if you feel the artificial flavor, then it probably isnt tasty food.

    You can hate greasy food that is tasty, you can hate flavor enhanced food if its made of crap even if its tasty, But you can't hate tasty food itself. Its like saying that you hate to feel good... wait, I think I kind of get it! Are you a masochist?

    1. Asam Pedas Ikan Pari (Stingray cooked in hot sour chilli gravy)
    2. It's a bit hard to find good ones where I live, but it's commonly said that the best Asam Pedas Ikan Pari are the Malaccan originals. So head to Malacca and ask the tourism desk if they know the best place.
    3. It's hot and spicy, so if you can't tolerate hot and spicy foods, you will be fanning yourself while you're eating this. You think tabasco is too hot? You think curry is hellish hot? That means you have never eaten Asam Pedas before. The combination of the sour and hot taste of the gravy provokes an animalistic desire in you. Once you've tasted a good Asam Pedas, you will salivate just from looking at its picture. The memory stays with you forever. Although Asam Pedas can be cooked with any fish, even beef and chicken, the truly exotic and unforgettable taste is if you cook with stingray. The aromatic aroma of a properly cooked stingray, coupled with its soft and flavourful flesh and bone, feels like the flesh just melts on your tongue. Just a single bowl is enough to make you cry in satisfaction. Forget going to space, it erases all your bad memories and replaces it with beautiful memories of hot and sour spicy soup. It's like a drug that creates a pavlov response within you and sends you to a sauna of hot, melting fish heaven. This is what you were born for. Embrace your destiny.

    Ohohoho, I like this thread. I like it a lot.
    When I find something good, I will share it by editing this post.
    Food that originates in my country.... ah-hahaha, don't ask. I live in an area with all sorts of restaurants, so I don't have a real idea of what my 'local food' should be. I'll just describe anything I think is good, ok?
    ... I'm also counting things not found in a restaurant. :x
    I'll be sure to be as specific as I can about the name though. :x

    Some people smoke a pack a day, yet can you say they enjoy smoking? After a certain point, it's the nicotine forcing them to continue smoking or go into withdrawl. If they suddenly remove nicotine from cigrattes, most smokers would just quit.

    Just like how most people wouldn't eat food unless they contain grease and fat. Admit it.You don't love the food, you just love the grease.

    I love the taste, I hate the grease, and the consequences from eating it. Also, smoking is not tasty, they like the feeling not the taste of the smoke.

    To discribe something as tasty means you like the taste, you may hate its origin, its consequences, but you like its taste.

    Its like an atheist saying he hates god, by the very fact that he hates it, means he believes in it somehow.
