I love hotdogs.
Cantgetaxeout
America should been rare steak, mashed potatoes, and blue jello.
umgonnathinkofsomethingreallyclever
I would like to see them do this with the Welsh flag
CovidIsAirborne
Now if you had to live off of nothing but the foods from one of these flags for a month, which would you choose—I’d go with Italy
Eindi
Finland = snow and blueberry vodka.
lovit487
Blueberry vodka? I have only tried a Mintu
VladThePoker
Probably meant to say blueberries soaked in vodka?
iwasshotinbaltimore
Better that than showing the real Finnish cuisine right? mämmi mustamakkara kalakukko all garbage I wouldn't feed my pigs.
VladThePoker
Here's a dude who doesn't want to be on Finnish side when Soviet Russia attacks.
TheHillsHaveNostrils
Such harsh language. Did you have a rough day?
blaid0
England makes a greater variety of better cheeses than France has ever dreamt of. There, that's something you know now.
OGshogun
Hey with China you forgot to add the mangy Covid bat delicacy.
YouSoldMyDeadBirdToABlindKid
Just have to say this. That is definitely not fattoush. That is diced tomato
folkscallmehi
Forgot Ireland- cabbage, mashed po-tay-toes, jameson’s
batmanbumantics
Damn, I really wanted to see a Scottish flag made out of haggis
Efreeti
Trying to think of Norway. Red could be meat, probably mutton, like fenalår. White could be risengrynsgrøt. Blue...blueberries/blackberries?
design1design
I feel like japan was a bit of a miss here considering hinomaru bento is a popular dish literally named after the flag
Femkefatale
Where's our flag?
TrickyVein
I feel like they totally cheated with Turkey's.
Wowter99
Well after all Turkey is well-known for cheating, so.
qyrriqat
Still, it is a delight.
wrix789
ZeroTheDog
And UK, they just painted the damn thing.
ArtOfKarolMichalec
They probably want to leave the table now because they don't like that the Polish had to pick the strawberries and lithuanias baked it
Semphir
But they probably stole the paint and also.. There was a flag.. So still very british
VagisilToothpaste
I could be wrong, but growing up in a predominantly Lebanese neighborhood, I always knew fattoush to be a whole salad w/ crunchy pita bits.
GizmosBabySitter
#7 I'd be embarrassed if they weren't so damn delicious
voltus
I'd love to see how you make a potato look like the Irish flag lol

Eiriktrollet
It's supposed to be realistic. I think every country eat ribs
leelbl
As a Texan, I agree
meganical
The stars should’ve been Mac n cheese
MrBobSaget
ribs are not our most famous food.
yourbassist
I live in a bbq capital and I demand representation.
MrBobSaget
It's one of our best foods but internationally it's not what we are known for.

I think the China one should be blood and human bones
notyourusualsaturdaynight
Meat pie? Really? Yeah guess that sort of sums us up really
dazlar
With tomato sauce mate, nailed it.
LifeHasManyDoorsEddBoy
Except that looks better for the NZ flag cuz their stars are red (tomato/BBQ sauce). Maybe Mayo on the aussie pie?
StarkRG
Eew...
Dilly19
Just be glad it wasn’t vegemite
AfterTheRainComesTheRainbow
But vegemite is yummo
RavennaMagnus
What else?
Broonstar
shrimps on the barbie
Foisted
It was one American ad campaign that did this. No Australian calls prawns “shrimp”, and we don’t cook them on a barbeque.
Foisted
We do it sometimes as a joke now, but it didn’t exist before the ad.
kutku
Vegemite
evilspyre
Fairy bread, sausage snags, dimos, tim tams, Lamingtons

Pavlova, kangaroo steaks, emu, crocodile... or any dead animal really

Pavlova is kiwi but what about lamingtons!

Do Mexico now, you coward. I want to see an eagle made out of tacos
urmomcangetit2
magicalmysterytour
yea i was waiting for that one too. Taco eagle with salsa and guacamole for the red and green

PantherMedic
They didn't do Spain's crest, though. They'd probably skip it with Mexico, too.
aSansHasNoSerif
Well then that’s just Italy
CsharpDeveloperWhosLoveTacosandLadies
Lol agreed!
RoundThreeFIGHT
#17 if you've never tried these, they're amazing! Mostly an apple sort of flavor but the rambutan and lychee have a gummy bear consistency
DuckDuckone
There are several varieties of rambutan. The bright red ones are very juicy, but there are yellow varieties that are drier but sweeter
VagisilToothpaste
I've never found the flavor to be like an apple at all. Really, I don't know how to describe the flavors. Too floral to be apple, tho.
IAmMonkeyGirl
Same. More like a sweet floral melon of some kind. Delicious!
abbie30000
I’m coming for France!!!
Goldenteckel
Same here : wasn't disappointed !
abbie30000
Yum yum !
Goldenteckel
Brie for the win !
DudeHoldMyCatnip
For US, I would put BBQ meat for red, mac and cheese for white, and jell-o for blue. The starts would be made from chicken nuggets
DudeHoldMyCatnip
Also I would like to have all those things for dinner tonight
CALAMOSCOPYJANE
They didn't do Canada. Could have with apples. We grow a lot of apples.
NotTinyPancakes
That's me out Malusdomesticaphobic, Canada seemed so good too.
MyOpinionsArePopular
A maple leaf made out of kraft mac n cheese and poutine
CALAMOSCOPYJANE
Or some sort of tourtiere...
PuppyDontCare
You already have something food related in your flag
eastcoastbestcoast
Try drawing a maple leaf out of syrup...
wiezzenger
That's just the leaf though, you only eat the dehydrated blood of the maple.

PoorSucker
That India plate looks delicious
MyHouseOnMars
I could really go for a curry right now.
PoorSucker
Best curry I ever had was at gateway to the India in Penang, Malaysia
theyar
That was the one that got my mouth watering.
FallingStar7669
Most of them do, honestly. I'd really like to try that chorizo and Spanish rice...
JustinSane6
Forgot Canada. Bacon & Maple Syrup on a Hockey Rink
Groostav
God dam this makes me proud.
madbydesign
JustinSane6
All right, let’s straighten this out. That’s Canadian bacon, not American Canadian bacon which we call ham or back bacon. We don’t have >>>>
JustinSane6
Canadian bacon in Canada. Like how we call a Canadian high school graduate an American doctor, or a game show host an American president.
DukeOfTheBedhead
shots fired +1 from vancouver
theusernameformerlyknownastildo
Not exactly red, but maple syrup poured on ice would make an excellent Canadian flag.
LetsNotLieAmymore
Lol On a hockey rink!
XIXIXimena
Back bacon atop rows of Tim Horton's powdered jelly donuts with a marijuana leaf in the centre. GO FUCKIN' CANADA!!!
isthataniguana
GO LEAFS!!
OliEBoy
Thank you!
SlutAtNight
Awww my country is awesome
IWantedOneOfThoseLongUsernamesTooSoIGotOne
Oh.... Canada
celestedrake
I was waiting for that
VagisilToothpaste
I mean, I get that they love hockey, but they don't eat the rink when they're done. Altho, the LA Kings DID sell popsicles made out of >
VagisilToothpaste
purified rink water + flavorings...or so they claimed that's what it was.
Aprilmadness
Gross
VagisilToothpaste
Yeah, it is a little odd to think about, considering how much spit and sweat and stuff end up on the ice. But then consider where our >
VagisilToothpaste
drinking water comes from before it's cleaned up for drinking...
JCBalance
Then how do so many players chip their teeth? Checkmate.
bluesandwhich
That's not Canadian bacon... also we don't eat ice rinks. Sorry.
arewenotkingsandqueenstogether
Do Canadians not eat the strip bacon?!?
3223
We do. Canadians are confused why Americans call round-ham “Canadian bacon”.
arewenotkingsandqueenstogether
After some digging, it looks like the UK imported pork from Canada during a shortage in the 1800s, they liked it and brought it to the US
JustinSane6
We also don’t have Canadian bacon, that’s an American thing.
3223
Shhhhhh, the idiots are still buying our ham because we called it bacon. DONT RUIN THIS.
DukeOfTheBedhead
where are people from in Canada that have this bs "Canadian bacon" which is just a round slice of ham? Lived here all my life, never had it.
bluesandwhich
I thought back bacon was considered Canadian bacon?
aqualungs
The only thing I’m thinking we have that people would consider “Canadian bacon”, is peameal bacon. Which is so dang good
Matty3D
Should be Poutine not bacon.
JonnyTightlips
OneoftheCraigsofImgur
I would never serve poutine with ketchup on it, but if I'm serving poutine I'll give people the option. I'm a Canadian not a monster.
JustinSane6
I eat WAY more bacon a month than I do poutine in a year, & I’m 5 minutes from Quebec. And not that ham that Americans call Canadian Bacon.
Jweber73
As a fellow Canadian its always annoyed me, Americans think we call Ham "Canadian bacon."
OneoftheCraigsofImgur
Should be poutine not ice rink. Canadian bacon is glorious. Plus the colours would still work. Poutine is not red, because anyone who puts
DoctahGhostly
Isn’t Canadian bacon just saltier ham? Haven’t had it ages but that’s how I remember it...
Clarhilary
Peameal bacon!
DoctahGhostly
FINE. PEAMEAL BACON. Is it not just a specific kind of cured ham? That part is important because bacon is from pork belly, ham is from leg
Matty3D
"Canadian bacon" is an American term though. We call it back or peameal bacon.
OneoftheCraigsofImgur
Well we're taking it back! (pun intendid). If I'm going to be honest, regular bacon is superior in everyway.
OneoftheCraigsofImgur
Ketchup on poutine is a maniac that needs help. (just an opinion, not necessarily true)
JiggyWithIt
100% a maniac
RogueEwok
My mom does it and it drives me nuts, absolutely ruins it!
PoutineStJean
What about mayonnaise?
ChrisDoesScience
You absolute monster.
Ruhig
FUCK YOU! KETCHUP IS GREAT! Is it even poutine if it's not 50% ketchup??
Ruhig
Also, shit, now I'm thinking about poutine.
Kronzor
No it isn’t. Get out.
OneoftheCraigsofImgur
Ketchup is fantastic. Just not on poutine (imo)
RichardValentine
110% yes it still is.
Epinephilim
Sweden would work with blue mussels and rye bread with messmör maybe?
Fukkouttaherewithallthatnoise
God damn meatballs
fatabur
Blueberries back ground and Palt for the cross?
chickadoodledoo
I was thinking more like herrings for the blue and cinnamon buns for the yellow? Maybe?
Inarticulated
Messmör är så jävla äckligt
Epinephilim
Håller med, men svenskare än tomten och ringmuren.
lovit487
Blueberries with cloudberrys maybe?
SvarvSven
Was expecting finding the blue balls comment here... Did I mean meatballs? I'm not sure...
Djchoragos
Now I’m trying to come up with a Danish one. I feel like the white would be remoulade...
FabianGalon
Some kind of smørrebrød obviously. Saltkød & peberrod?
lovit487
Röde pölse (unsure on the spelling) my friend:)
Djchoragos
Det passer sammen, men “ø”
PoorSucker
And red sausages
Djchoragos
Im thinking of the pale franskdog from Børnenes Kontor...
Epinephilim
I definitely want rødepølse for the red. It's almost the same red hue as well.
ObscureReferencing
Germany: sugar beet syrup, suasages, bread

Sauerbraten, Rote Grütze, Kartoffeln - Haupt- + Nachspeise

Or pumpernickel, sausages, beer. (Cause I'd argue that we're more famous for our wholemeal breads than the "yellow" ones.)

beer, mett (raw minced pork), schwarzbrot. Even works as a complete and healthy meal for the average construction worker.
