I don't live there, but I have family in Pennsylvania. There you can find teaberry ice cream, some of the most delicious of its kind. Also, who has soft maple ice cream where they live? (not the lame hard crap that's mass produced and made with tons of additives- I'm talking good ol' maple sugar ice cream, made locally, soft-serve)

MMM maple smoked salmon tidbits. MMM Beaver tails (not tails of real beavers but a flat doughnut pastry covered with sugar).

Australia doesn't have anything unique, we copy every other country/culture.
Although i do like OUR Cadburys, apparently it tastes different to the British version.

Scooters burgers. Or maybe Red Mill. Drac can probably say the same. No unique foods though.

which was made by accident i think... i can't remember.
vegimite is good but it was immediately copied into (or from) Marmite and such things.

Both the "mites" are fantastic culinary creations.
Don't you Aussies have Kangaroo hams, platypus steaks, or Koala burgers. I seriously think Aussies should take advantage of all the different types of meat they have over there.
