Has your nationality/regional dish been featured in FFXIV's cooking recipes?

I feel like we need to page CUL experts to this thread XD

On that note, is there a black bean paste sauce with rice and fish dish in the game? It's a Haitian delight normally eaten on Sundays.

Baltimore, Maryland, USA (where I have some family), got some rep with Crab Cakes this last patch.

I just looked up the Cul recipes (https://www.gameskinny.com/zehpq/ffx...t-full-version *list does not include 70-80.) and to my absolute surprise, Mole Loaf is essentially the way my family does meatloaf (except we use different meat, obviously) right down to the tomato-based sauce on it. I think tomato sauce is actually the less popular option irl as opposed to brown gravy? But there it is. lol

There's a ton of other stuff on there that is definitely food in America, from mustard (deviled) eggs to mahi-mahi. But I dunno about things that are specifically American. We def need pizza, both flat NYC- and deep dish Chicago-style.

And some southern staples. lol Though, to be fair, they do have Bouillabaisse. Technically french, but New Orleans bouillabaisse is a thing.

No maksalaatikko (liverbox/cassarole), no Koskenkorva booze, no mämmi. So no :(

Each time I've traveled internationally and asked where I could find American food, I would usually get pointed to where the fast food franchises are located. Such a shame that some of our cultures most well-known foods have been drowned out by the over saturation of quick eats.

Anywho, there isn't much American dishes in the game. There are many that are known and made in the US, but originate elsewhere. When they have southern BBQ, pumpkin pie, philly cheesesteak sandwiches, sloppy joes, brauts/dogs n' burgers, and a bomb chili recipe with cornbread we can start talking. Maybe toss a funnel cake in there too. Yum!

Poutine: nope
California rolls: Nope. FFXIV has real sushi, not western canadian sushi.
Nanaimo bars: Nope.
Butter tarts: Nope.
Maple syrup: Stacks and stacks and stacks of this.
Ketchup chips: Nope
Dill Pickle chips: Nope
All Dressed chips: Nope.
Caesars: Nope.
Beaver tails: Nope.
Kraft Dinner: Nope.

(Canadian "cuisine" is not the healthiest stuff in the world.)

Beaver... tails? Please tell me that its just a fancy name for a type of waffle. :P

If you count house food, we have the Giant Beaver Burger, and it's glorious.

Kraft Dinner might be a bit hard to add, legally.

It's more llike a donut. Think donut with no hole that's been pulled into a beaver tail shape before frying. They're traditionally sprinkled with cinnamon sugar but can have all sorts of toppings added to the top instead. E.g. nutella and bananas is a good topping combo. You can get something similar at most carnivals/fairs where it's usually called fried dough or something similar.

It's only called that in Canada and there's generic brand versions of it aplenty too, so that wouldn't be an issue. It'd just need to be called something generic but look like dayglo orange pieces of straight macaroni. It's even the same stuff that americans have but branded Kraft macaroni and cheese (sort of: it's slightly different due to minor ingredient differences and sources and stuff, sort of like how McD fries are slightly different between US and Canada) although we consume far more of it than they do in the US. We just usually tend to call all versions of it Kraft Dinner or KD anyway, like how people say they're going to xerox something even though that's just a single brand of photocopier.
