I was asked this question when I was young and green and fresh out of
Culinary School. I was talking to the head of the hotel where I was
working, and he asked about my specialty. I had enough presence of mind
to know that it didn't matter what I said so much as saying something,
but I still couldn't find the confidence or imagination to speak until
after I'd stammered and made a fool of myself by insisting that I didn't
have one. Finally I said spanakopita. I do make a nice spanakopita
and did then. I'm not sure I do anything spectacular with it, but it
always seems to be appreciated when I bring it to potlucks. So there's
my specialty: spanakopita.
