I'm going back to Canada in the next year with my sister, I'm really excited to have these again.
I've had cinnabons. It wasn't that good. T.J. Cinnamons was better.
>>7872116
From where?
butter, flour and sugar. that's all it is man. grossssss.
Various seafood dishes from Baja California.
>>7872137
List some!

I had cinnabons when I went to Universal Studios Florida. I was hoping for T.J. cinnamons tier goodness since they are basically extinct as a business but I was disappointed.
>>7872138
Sea Urchin and Pismo clam tostadas
Crab Aguachile.
Sea Urchin ceviche
oysters in a ponzu and chle marinade
Octopus tacos
various prepared clam dishes
just to name a few
>>7872107
You'll be disappointed, they're almost always stale.
>>7872178
Octopus tacos sound amazing
>cinnabon
Prepare for utter disappointment and ruined childhood memories, OP.

Are you allowed to eat your cinnabons on the waterslide in that Deadmonton mall with the water park?
>>7872107
>>cinnabon
In Eastern Europe we have the exact thing, only that is packed full with chocolate and crunched walnuts.

Pecan cinnamon rolls are common in the us but no chocolate.
OP here. Just had IKEAs cinnamon buns with added cream cheese and sugar. I don't care what you guys say this shit is delicious.
nah bro cinnabon is disgusting. Find a nice German Mennonite Farm. You'll be in for a treat.
Churros. Can't find any good, south American style churros in Ontario.
Okonomiyaki. I went to Japan in high school, I fucking love seafood and this was basically seafood omelette on a hibachi grill. Also, fried purple sweet potato wedges and black sesame ice cream.

I would get these as a kid in the US 35yrs ago, they're cinnamon buns? I'd even terrorize my mom at the super market to buy the type you could bake at home, they're just pastry dough, vanilla frosting and cinnamon right?

Pretty much all the ingredients except for nagaimo and sakura ebi can be found pretty easily at most Asian market. Those are just nice extras anyway.
However its extremely hard finding places that are willing to thinly slice pork or beef. You can cut up your own squid though.

>However its extremely hard finding places that are willing to thinly slice pork or beef
Yeah, this never made much sense to me.
>>7872339
Yeah there's like 5 or 6 that I know of. 1 pretty close to me.

Some type of pork sausage I had in city Cork at the English Market. It was at the O'Flynn's Gourmet Sausage stall. Miles away from what I had in England.
In Lisbon now devouring these things. Flaky phylo with an eggy custard center.
>>7872107
I had this nearly everyday when I lived in China. It's unique to the area I was living in and I've never been able to find a place that makes it.
Re Gan Mian, so good
>>7872107
Cinnabon is shit.
Their cinnamon rolls taste like raw dough with a bunch of fake cinnamon and sugar on top.
Do yourself a favor and look up the local bakeries or any other store that serves cinnamon rolls that isn't Cinnabon.
>>7874585
>the local bakery maymay
Local bakeries are typically at supermarket tier. They are nothing special. Placebo effect is the only reason you feel differently.

Indeed. But that's still a step up from Cinnabon.
>>7874585
Yea you're full of shit. Cinnabon may be a chain but they are the best cinnamon bun out there.
Local bakeries and grocery stores always skimp on something, whether its cinnamon, icing, or the size. This is true globally. Cinnamon buns are such a massive calorie bomb and niche enough that the market can really only support one place exclusively doing them.
>>7874859
Even though cinnamon rolls are very popular there aren't any good ones on the market. You basically need to make your own. I don't know if that is because America when it comes to baked goods is a food wasteland, Americans are too cheap, places when they do open are price gouging up the ying yang, or healthfags are ruining the market.
>>7874900
I've traveled all over, cinnamon buns are at best treated as slight indulgence over a plain bagel or toast and thats exactly what you get at bakeries in Europe and Japan.
Goulash, in a loaf, with a pint of PU.
That is the epitome of comfy.

when i visited texas i went to this ice cream place called 'la michocana' and got their popsicle, mango one was really good. so simple and i really miss them. Mexican areas of texas are great
>>7875655
mangonadas from texas. theyre a spicy sweet sorbet.
I went to the Rittersport museum in Stuttgart, because I already loved the chocolate before, but you were able to make your own chocolate bar at a little station near the cafe- the aforementioned also had Rittersport hot chocolate.
I ended coming back to the cafe every day the rest of the week I was there to buy their pastries and chocolate goodness
