Peanut butter for Americans, Frites & Mayonnaise for Belgians, Marmite for Brits and Vegemite for Aussies.

But what other national delicacies do other nationalities have?

Finns, I suppose, would be pickled herrings.

Biltong for S Africans?

The most disgusting stuff I've ever been expected to eat.

Natto is a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans, popular especially for breakfast. As a rich source of protein, natto; and the soybean paste miso formed a vital source of nutrition in feudal Japan. For some, natto; can be an acquired taste due to its powerful smell, strong flavor, and sticky consistency.
