PIE FLOATER
Adelaide, Australia

Street-hawked meat pies—small pastries filled with mincemeat and gravy—are more or less the national dish of Australia. But this Southern-Aussie variant is a little more creative: The pie is—yes—floated in a bowl of thick pea soup, then topped with a dollop of ketchup. Floatophiles claim that once they've gotten their fix, they don't need to eat again all day. They also claim the snacks are best enjoyed when drunk. Somehow, we believe them.

Where to find them: From carts at parks and main thoroughfares all around Adelaide. Balfour's Pie Cart, which has dubbed itself "The Great South Australian Pie Cart," is the most visible: It's parked right outside Adelaide's main railway station.
