I can't speak for the whole of my country due to it being the US, but in my city, I don't know a single place that does takoyaki or hot pot in general.
With hot pot I can see why it wouldn't be feasible because a parent sues over not watching their kid drop their electronics into the hot oil, but takoyaki wouldn't be a big deal! I need more takoyaki!
Papa Rellena... It's basically a ground beef stuffed potato croquette (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papa_rellena). I could basically eat them all day every day if they were more readily available (and cheaper) where I live.
the quality and proportions of the meat, egg, shallots, capers, mustard, tabasco and worcester sauce make all the difference. I've had it DIY style, and I've had it pre-made, and one particular time in Bruges it was made to absolute perfection
Whenever I visit the Balkans I absolutely devour poppy seed rolls.
For the uninitiated, they’re not just bread rolls with poppy seeds on top; they’re cakes or pastries filled with a sweet poppy seed paste. It’s delicious but very hard to find outside Eastern Europe.

Maduros street tacos
Basically fried plantains, cuban black beans, raw onion, cilantro, sriracha and lime on corn tortilla
It is absolutely made in the US but not in most places. Made some about 2 hours ago and they are delicious
Make the corn tortilla yourself trust me, store bought is shit and falls apart.

Weird that moussaka is pretty common in Australia with the greek diaspora here, but I only rarely see stifado.

toronto and seattle have incredible variety but i'm sure it depends on the diaspora

Indian food
Also Italian pasta and pizza made in the original ways, they're a completely different food if you make it without cutting corners

There is a food called murtabak that ive never seen outside of Singapore and Malaysia.
Its like a stuffed roti that you dip in curry. Fantastic and I wish I could find it in Europe.

I do love a good Paella; especially seafood with plenty of lemon juice squeezed on.
A really well made Steak Tartare is great too

"Well made steak tartare"
U wot m8?
That's just raw hamburger with bits in it.
By what criteria can you consider raw hamburger with bits thrown in "well made"?

tbf if you can eat raw meat in Egypt or Michigan without dying, they won, they officially made it well

Gumbo. I’m still working on getting the brown roux dark enough, but can make a passable attempt.
