PDXfag here.

berries, berries, berries. since you're having a wine dinner, this would be all the more appropriate. i'd get some marionberries (or huckle- if you can't find them) and maybe a selection of either goat's or mild bleu cheeses.

gamey meats are not uncommon up here, stuff like quail, pheasant, and rabbit. duck eggs are also in good rotation 'round these parts.

for the vegfags (like myself), wild mushrooms [usually chantrelle] and walla walla onions are a good combination with some sherry. someone said hazelnuts, they're right.

i'll ask around and see if someone knows more than i do.

Opinion Discarded.

You're on the right track. Try to stop being from portland though.

The single most important food to our culture is chinook salmon. Smoked, broiled, seared, en papillote, ceder planked, they're all good meals.
Chanterelles are popping up everywhere early this year, all of the berries are fantastic this year too. If you're doing cheese, Tillamook has the worlds best medium cheddar. Rogue creameries has a really nice bleu cheese too.
There's literally hundreds of breweries here too, and they each have a following of people claiming there's is the best beer ever. I like Rogue, but I grew up in Newport.
Venison is probably found in 3 out of 4 houses around here too, so something to consider for red meat.

This doesn't even begin to tap into the natural resources we have here in the NW though. Just the basics really. Either way, I hope you have deep pockets, as a single fresh chinook is gonna run you $300-500. Me? I'm gonna go hit buoy-10 and catch a few this week.

We're upriver a bit from you guys. The Nez Perce are selling excellent and extremely fresh salmon in town from their pickups.

There are some very nice wines out of WA.

Hakata in silverdale, wa has the best sashimi I've ever had.

[Anonymous No.5730920]

>>5728768
I'm in Oly and it's actually delicious.

Aside from that, there's a lot of seconding what other people said. Game meats, seafood (particularly salmon), chanterelles and other mushrooms, lots of fresh wild berries like huckleberry.

Jesus don't go here. Expensive as shit, for crap food, compared to other fast food places.

[Anonymous No.5732433]

>>5730747
Hakata is fine, but there's a really good sushi place in downtown Bremerton. I also like that Viet place near Staples, the tripe there really hits the spot.

>The single most important food to our culture is chinook salmon.
You spelled "sockeye" wrong.
>a single fresh chinook is gonna run you $300-500
You spelled "$30-$50" wrong.

Anyway, >>5728585
I grew up in middle of WA and now live on the coast so what springs to mind immediately for me is:
Apples, cherries, raspberries, huckleberries, blackberries, apricots, plums, oysters, salmon, trout, bass, deer, rabbit, quail, pheasant. Vegetables: pretty much anything grows.

Just take your moustache and beard trimmings, sprinkle them into an overturned bowler hat, fill the remainder with a home-brewed Russian Imperial triple IPA black Cream Stout, put it in the oven at 350 degrees and wait until someone else does the same thing, then you say you did it before it was cool.

Dear Pacific Northwest,

You don't have a culture or a regional cuisine. Please stand by while we send you shit that was cool here last year for you to regurgitate.

Much love,
New York

>>5732503
Oh right, thanks for all the fresh fish and fruit and the huge Native American/Asian population that you've got in Shithole City.

Oh, wait.

I'm pretty sure OP has less interest in cooking than he does in impressing all his guests with his knowledge of regional cuisine, which (hopefully) will excuse the fact that he just moved to Portland from Nebraska and voted for Romney.

[Anonymous No.5732555]

>>5732525
You mean "thanks for the renewed emphasis in the finest restaurants on the use of local, in-season ingredients so that stumpfuckers in the flyovers are new 'locavoring' like there's no tomorrow instead of going to Denny's"?

Sure, no problem. You're welcome. First-world burden and all that.
