Regional food fads

[act.resist]

I've noticed that around the country areas have certain food fads, or even a learned thing that they do to their food i.e. putting tons of ketchup on things, mayo on fries, tabasco, etc.

What are some food things that your region likes?

[act.resist]

actually this might sound weird, but I looked it up and they're canned in the U.S., canada, turkey, and some other countries. But I live in Michigan and we border with canada so i think we get our arizonas from michigan because i've always read that its a product of canada on the cans

[roddy116]

[shitpoop]

Food companys normally cater specific flavors to specific regions. IE, I went to woodward east and kids from maryland had Crab flavored chips

 

[whoa-dere]

[town_nudist]

[cornholio]

cheerwine

 

[powderhound100]

Here in Seattle they put cream cheese on hot dogs, refused to try it for over a year, but when I did I was actually quite impressed.

 

[CheddarJack]

Anytime I make a grilled cheese and have bread and butter pickles I throw em in. No other pick will do - gotta be the ol' b&b. It isn't very popular in Maine though. I just picked it up from my dad. I get a lot of weird looks/comments when I do it in public.

 

[cannaguts666]

Cream cheese goes go with just about an meat and toasted/grilled bread.

 

[JAHpow]

This

I actually just had wild rice soup for lunch!

 

[Joebin]

Here in Ohio, Cincinnati specifically, we like pasta with chili and cheese. Also chili cheese coneys are huge here too.

 

[arnie_grape]

sushi. every girl I know eats it on the reggo, and they always go in a group.

 

[Miomo]

Yummmmm. Mercury.

 

[987321654hgfd]

Eating good pizza.

 

[mmallender.]

kale, and EVERYTHING HEALTHY EVER

 

[Byron_tha_gr8]

Xing is good, but also every convenience store still has Arizona Tea, distributed from NY.

 

[Benson.]

Buffalo chicken pizza, calzones, and wings.

 

[Aidan-G]

Yeah but they only carry the 3 basic flavors, lemon, green, and raspberry. What if I want an RX Energy or peach arnold palmer? And no one has Peace Tea. Peace Tea is the shit

 

[Matt.H]

these people deserve to be shot

 

[Byron_tha_gr8]

the circle K 2 blocks from me has it all. But all of the grocery stores only have green tea and Arnold Palmer. I drink wayyyy too much tea.

 

[Dan.]

so far none of these except the kid who mentioned skyline chili, or possibly the crab chips, are regional foods, they're all pretty wide spread, and nothing is a trend/fad, except kale, which has definitely gotten huge over the last two years.

regional food fad.

cronuts. except it's national now, not just regional.

ramps in new york are a regional trend.

 

[first_rodeo]

bacon

watermelon

fried fish

black & milds

[7-11_Slurpee]

In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan everybody is pasty crazy. I think they're meh personally

 

[act.resist]

UP internet high five!

 

[act.resist]

Yea i think thats a big city/yuppie/hippie thing. When i went to DC they served kale exclusively at some places. Not saying its bad though, i like it

 

[Byron_tha_gr8]

Isnt the UP in canada?

 

[act.resist]

Basically, but no.

 

[Wolffy]

I think most of you missed the point of this thread. In other news I wish there was an In N' Out in chicago.

 

[De-Clan]
