does New York City have a signature food?

[Alpo]

I did a search on that and found hits that told me about their 15 iconic foods or their 25 iconic foods. I'm sure they have many foods but I'm thinking one food that when you hear of it you think of there.

 

Philadelphia - cheese steak

Buffalo - hot wings

Memphis - barbecue

New Orleans - po boy

 

Does New York have a food like that?

[John Kloehr]

Never been there, but have heard of hot dogs (street vendors), bagels, and NY style pizza.

It has many.  Which,  in a way means, "No, it doesn't."

mentioned, I'd add Cheesecake and Corned Beef. 

 

To your New Orleans,  I would add Muffuletta, Beignets, Pralines, and King Cake.

 

Let's try another city,  San Francisco.  Well, Mission Burritos,  Dungeness Crab, Cioppino (YUM!!!!), and Sourdough Bread.

What's odd is that I don't care for that,  but I loves me a big bowl of Cioppino, with a chunk of Sourdough Bread...and I mean CHUNK, torn off the loaf, not sliced...and a beer.

originated with the Italian immigants, most likely Brooklyn.

I thought it was the Portugee fishermen who invented it.  

 

Yes, "Portugee."  Around here,  try calling them "Portuguese" usually gets you scornful looks and a, "It's PORTUGEE!" Same when I was growing up in Southern California,  almost all insisted that it is "Portugee."

Joe's food fight thread. And the comment about how it was faster to grab your side dish then do it reload your main dish.

 

That is a New York reload. It's faster to draw your second pistol than to reload your first one.

 

So I was thinking - New York reload. It was faster to grab your second whatever food then to do something with your first one. Never finished that thought because I got stuck on WHAT IS THE SIGNATURE NEW YORK FOOD.

 

And as have been mentioned, there are dozens of them.

 

And I just went off down that rabbit hole SQUIRREL!! and never finished my original thought.

There was a time when Boudin (pronounced Bo-deen) was THE sourdough bread on Fisherman's Wharf. Then they moved the bakery somewhere into town so they could add more sales windows for both the bread and chowder at the wharf kiosk... And they lost the "mother" yeast. The bread sold after that (until I left about 8 years ago) is not the same, and has a lot more ingredients in it. It used to be just flour, water, salt, and the starter.

I was born in Queens and spent my early formative years in a Sicilian neighborhood in Brooklyn. New York style pizza stands out as the food I remember. I also remember spending a lot of time in the Jewish deli a few blocks away. There were always fresh bagels in our apartment.

What do you think about cioppino?

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

I don't think anything about cioppino.  I was raised in an Italian family, but never heard of it.  Enlighten me Obi Wan.

Same here, mom and dad and all my grandparents were Italian all from Italy (except mom) and I’ve never heard of it 

 

It originated in San Francisco 

 

• A tomato-based broth with garlic, onions, herbs, and white wine
• Filled with mixed seafood, often:
  • Crab
  • Shrimp
  • Clams
  • Mussels
  • Fish (like cod or halibut)
•  
• Traditionally served with crusty sourdough bread for dipping

 

 

It’s hearty, a little briny, and very popular along the West Coast.

What he said!

 

Thick, rich, very flavorful. More variety of seafood than Manhattan Clam Chowder, and much thicker. 

One version:

 

 

But ask 20 people and you get 40 versions.

Its 

 Origin
Though the word Ciopinno and the dish that is popular in the US definitely was popularized near in the San Franciso area of California, The roots of the dish and name are from Italy. Records of when this dish appeared vary from the Gold Rush days to 1930 says food historian Jean Anderson.

The Italian flair of this tomato based seafood stew using the daily catch comes from the fisherman from Genoa that immigranted to the US and settled in the Bay area of California. A fisherman's stew most likely originated ON the boat because in pre 20th century fishing boats they didn't have refrigeration , so they were limited to some canned foods( like tomatoes),vegetables, bread, wine and the catch of the day to make their dinner.

Origin of the Word Cioppino
The name comes either from ciuppin, a word in the Ligurian dialect of the port city of Genoa,meaning "to chop" or "chopped" which described the process of making the stew by chopping up various leftovers of the days catch, but also some say it can be a corruption
of the word" il ciuppin" which means ..little soup.

I think I remember it being "Get a Slice"

[Blackwater 53393]

Eggs Benedict, New York style Cheesecake, Manhattan Clam Chowder, the Reuben Sandwich, (although others claim that it’s from somewhere in the Midwest) “the SLICE” (plain cheese or cheese and pepperoni pizza by the slice), and the Coney Island Hotdog all come to mind, so NO! Not a single “signature” dish or sandwich for New York.

Pizza!

[watab kid]

But a "signature dish" known around the world as "New York"? *

Pizza. nobody else claims New York style anything.

* Except in Boston. They might sell thin pizza, but they won’t sell New York style pizza.
