Ordered a cheesesteak sandwich from a place called Philly.

Went with provolone cheese and extra chili peppers.

It was all right. I have no frame of reference re: the Philadelphia original, though.

Vegan dinner: Korean vegetable pancakes with dipping sauce and kimchi. Fresh strawberries for dessert.

It looks pretty authentic.  Provolone, American, or Cheez Wiz are the only acceptable cheeses, so it got that right.  No chili peppers.  The only toppings other than cheese should be grilled onions and/or chopped bell peppers, but definitely not any sort of hot pepper.

Well, it came with caramelized onions. Cheese choices were cheddar, provolone, mozzarella, but that's mostly because "American" and "Cheez Wiz" are not a thing over here and the latter would probably gross people out. I also got fries with cheese sauce from them - the cheese sauce was one of the better I've had here, though unable to tell what the basis was.

Probably cheez wiz fries

Outside of Philly cheeze whiz is considered pretty grosss.

I think Swiss works.

I looked it up on wiki, man sounds like you're more than right:

Dean Southworth, who was part of the original team that developed Cheez Whiz in the 1950s, described a jar he sampled in 2001 as tasting "like axle grease".[5]

I thought Swiss would be the most heretical choice.

[Caliga]

Swiss is considered unacceptable in Philadelphia.  In fact, John Kerry had a minor faux pas when he was running for Prez and visited Philly on a campaign stop and asked for swiss on his cheesesteak.

I'd say it's akin to going to Chicago and asking for ketchup on your hot dog.

Also, to answer the thread topic: feijoada, greens, and rice.

[Duque de Bragança]

Feijoada without rice would be very original.

Yeah, I guess I've never had or seen it without rice.

Any gringos have a Cheddar's where they live?  Might be an Iowa only chain, might be regional.  Good food super cheap.  I had salmon for 16 bucks.  And at least the one here has hott staff.

We have Cheddar's here in Florida.  I haven't been there since before Covid, but the food was quite affordable, (at least back in those days.)  I don't remember the staff being all that hott, though.

I have one right by the house and I get takeout from it all the time, like probably at least three times a month.... and yes I have noticed that the one by me seems to like to hire hot young chicks.
