From Maryland, She Crab Soup and a couple of other blue crab recipes.

From New England, lobster (of course), Legal Seafoods' version of scrod, and, weirdly, fresh fiddleheads in season.

From Germany, most versions of schnitzel. Spaetzel. Wines from the Rhine and Mosel valleys.

From England, pub lunches (particularly a ploughman's lunch, with a pint or two of bitter), dry sherry, pickled onions and most of the curries from transplanted folks from India. Oh, and Scotch and Irish whiskies.

From Argentina, pampas grass fed beef.

From the Andes, believe it or not, barbequed Guiniea Pig. And some high altitude chile peppers you can't seem to get anywhere else.

Other stuff from other places.
