Are there any distinct foods that describe where you live? San Francisco definitely has Ghirardelhi chocolate, sourdough, and a crunchy, hippy personality that rocks my socks off!

My Bay Area Style Salad
When I tell people I am from the San Francisco Bay Area, they make Berkeley jokes (my husband included) and I think the salad I made is quite representative of the perception of the Bay. We eat sprouts and veggies and there is no California style without an avocado in it. We like our greens and herbs and I'm no exception.
Here is my salad step by step:

Sprouts layered on top

Chopped shrooms (perhaps a salute to the good ole days of San Francisco's past), cucumbers, and avocado

California almonds, dried cranberries, raspberries, and pomegranate arils

I love this combination together and hope you'll give it a try!

Saskatchewan is known for bison (although most people don't eat it very often), beef, perogies, and berries - especially Saskatoon berries.
The Philly Cheesesteak is a classic where I live. :)

Hi Apple, I'm from WI so we're known for cheese, beer, and brats. YUM! Question: how do you keep your avacados from going brown--I assume you don't eat the whole thing at once.
