Nashville TN reporting in.
You can get just about any sort of cuisine here - my favorites are usually the small ethnic restaurants run by immigrants. They usually aren't as good as you'd get in NYC or LA, but they aren't bad. There are plenty of burger joints too if that's what you're looking for.
Among my favorites:
Pho - Vietnamese noodle soup.
Tofu Soup - Spicy Korean beef soup w/ tofu, veggies & an egg. Served in a stone pot.
Papusa - El Salvadoran fried cornmeal cakes stuffed with pork & cheese. Served with a cabbage & carrot slaw.
Gyro Plate - gyro meat, rice, pita & a small salad.
Pizza - gotta love the 'za. We've got a decent NY style place near Vanderbilt U. No good Chicago style though.
Plus most of the Indian places have decent lunch buffets with curry, naan, pakora, rice, saag tandoori chicken etc...
Nashville's specialties:
Hot Chicken - Skillet Fried Chicken which is heavily spiced w/ cayenne.
Hot Fish - Fried whiting fillets smothered in mustard, pickles, onion & hot sauce on white bread.
Barbecue - slow smoked pulled pork w/ a vinegar based sauce.
Meat & 3 - small lunch spots serving southern style food. Fried chicken, meatloaf, chicken & dumplings, catfish etc..
Strangely enough there is no good Chinese here.

Shame, totally different topic but I've long wondered about the not eating shellfish and swine thing, since Leviticus was basically a good food hygiene guide for the early middle eastern cultures. Settlements put raw sewage into the sea nearby which shellfish absorbed making them toxic (plus shellfish are tricky to transport in good condition) and the pigs at that time were all carrying the pig tapeworm, which can infect human brains after eating undercooked pork. Those things made sense then, but we have far better levels of food hygiene now, so why not eat them? Is it a matter of believing that the bible is the literal Word/instruction of God and therefore you just mustn't consume those items? (if so, fair enough, don't want to argue on the matter, just seek your opinion  )

For myself & my church it's a combination of believing that the Bible is the divinely inspired word of God and following in the example of Christ, who lived by the Levitical laws.
I'm aware that it was probably a hygiene thing initially as well as the diet marking ancient Israel as a different culture.

Excellent, so it's due to the divinity of the Bible and a sense of living as Christ lived, thank you for answering. I might debate those things another time with you if thats ok (or not, most likely, since religion debate is almost impossible in the OT).
Moving on.
Everyone, name your favourite dessert.
Mine is tiramisu. Or a cheese board and crackers.

Favourite Dessert?
Good question. An all time classic would of course be Ice Cream and Jelly (Jell-o if you happen to be an illiterate foreign type). Takes you straight back to childhood birthday parties, and complement each other beautifully.
But for something more sophisticated....I'm really not sure. I like lots of different desserts.
Oh! I know! Chocolate Puddle Pudding. Served in my favourite Pub, it's a Choclate SPonge, filled with White Chocolate Sauce, in a puddle of cream, with dark chocolate sauce. Soooo tasty! Soooo rich!
Though occasionally they do have one which is a Chocolate Sponge, Waffle embeded in the middle, covered in cream and maple syrup. So tasty, it's like Satan himself has made it, and already knows your soul is his.

A double chocolate fondant with cream and chocolate sauce?
I want it
When it comes to savoury food i love special fried rice (actual chinese style or chinese takeaway lotsa MSG style i dont really care  )
Although my all time favourite dessert would have to be tiramesu; with lots of coffee, liquer and calories.

It goes blimming well with pints of Hobgoblin.
In fact that Pub does easily the besterest Pub Food in the world ever. Nothing too poncey like, but it is all cooked to perfection. Especially their Fishcakes. 100% home made, using Salmon, Mackeral and Crab. Tasty tasty tasty! Best bit is, if you really fancy one of the starters on the menu, they'll increase the portion and the price so you can have it as a main. Like the warm Bacon and Chorizo Salad I had last week.

Favourite dessert?
Rubarb crumble with vanilla ice-cream. Used to have it frequently when we had rubarb plants.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

My favorite desert is the chocolate lava cake at Morton's steak house. it's like a little chocolate cake but it's loaded with melted godiva chocolate, as soon as you cut into it the chocolate oozes out all over the place

Fixed your typo. Best thing in the world when drunk. When sober, they're okay.

So what's in that thing? I can only make out the slaw. The other stuff could be french fries or some other fried meat product.

Primanti Bros. sandwiches have fries and slaw in the sandwich.
As I said, I'm not a big fan when sober. At 2 AM when the bars close...MMMM-MMMM. There oughta be a separate thread for "best drunk food."

cooking for myself in a hurry- nothing for me beats a nice fried egg with some toast
cooking with a bit of time- vegetable fried rice
cooking with a good deal of time- a beef stew
going out- i really like being able to pop over to north carolina and hit up some of the small but awesome bbq places.

No, peanut M&M's pwn coconut.
But then I find coconut, marshmallows and cucumbers foul, but I eat most anything else (beliefs permitting, of course. See up-thread)

Green chili salsa on ice cream? If so, I've had it before. Pretty good, sweet/spicy/creamy is a good combination.
