Fish and chips , Brighton seaside rock , candy floss ………….we are now a multi cultural town so you can now get so many different foods here, but years ago it was mainly a place people came to for a holiday. A day at the seaside.

I don’t know if our area is famous for this… but bowls of pintos with fried potatoes cakes on the side, fit homestyle cooking here. We laughed before about opening a place called, ‘tater Cakes’ with a side bar of choice toppings: cheeses, sour cream, hot sauces, chopped spring onions, bacon crumbs, ham, ketchup where people could top pintos and potato cakes however they chose. add in some roasted on a grill corn on the cob, and yes sweet tea. We would never do it but considering our area we thought it might provide a new “fast food” dine-in experience.

Because I’m not a cook…to be honest my potatoes cakes never stay together but fall apart. My mother-in-law is an expert at southern cooking. Plus…beans and potatoes I’m not sure you can make a living off of them.

You name it, we have it. From Italian, to Chinese, to Mexican, Vietnamese, Thai, Indian, Polish, German...on and on. American summer staples are hot dogs, hamburgers, different salads like, macaroni salad, potato salad, baked beans. Buffalo is also the capitol of Pizzerias. Our junk food is better than I have had in any other state but, it will make you unhealthy, sure is tasty going down though, lol. My new favorite restaurant is called Alibaba's Kabob and ILOVE their chicken tandoori!

We have seafood from the Pacific Ocean and bay areas. The tribe where I live sell a lot of salmon, crab and shrimp. We have ocean restaurants that are super here. Our state has an open policy on immigrants so we are multi-cultural also. In that regard we have many restaurants that serve foreign foods. But originally it is ocean and steak. We have some great grass fields with cattle around here and in the country. So if it's not seafood it's steak houses.

That almost sounds like midwestern American. My husband loves pintos with cornbread on top. He's from Indiana. I don't think Ive ever had a potato cake.

How could I forget the cornbread! You can’t have pintos without cornbread!

your husband may like them. You can start with shredded fresh potatoes …or use leftover mash potatoes. This is what my mother always did using cold mash potatoes the next day
Fried Potato Cakes (Potato Patties)

Both are very sweet , mostly sugar, candy floss melts in your mouth , pretty sure you must have it in America ( sometimes on sale at fairs ) it’s probably got a different name. Rock is very hard, like a lollipop but long and round.

@Rita Fish and chips have been exported to countries to where British ppl have emigrated; it's said you can always tell a New Zealander from the pronunciation: "fush and chups"....

I think that's what we call Cotton Candy.

Much love!
