scotch eggs
Boost/Take-a-Boost - no, not the protein drink!
deer/venison, goose, duck

I love whole belly clams, didn't realize they were regional! I am also a big fan of B&M canned brown bread. My nana used to slice it and fry it in butter to go with beans and hot dogs (not red ones).
How about Moxie and fiddleheads? I have to say, they are some of the very few foods on my "I'd rather be dead than eat" list. Moxie usually gets pretty negative reviews, but folks up here LOVE fiddleheads!

Liked the rest of your post (we agree!) but I didn't know what fiddleheads are!

My father loved Moxie. My brother still buys it now and then. I was never a big fan.

Gertrude Hawk chocolate; wise potato chips; tastykakes; pierogie; minute steaks; Dunmore Candy Kitchen candy; Old Forge Style Pizza. Our daughter lives in Virginia and whenever we go down, we have to bring lots of regional items for her (and now her co-workers request certain things also!!)

I think the key word in the OP was odd:

What are some local foods that others might find odd?

Scrapple

Pig Stomach

Sweet Breads (I think this is local. My mom loved it)

fiddleheads? folks up here LOVE fiddleheads!

My Aunt in Saskatchewan Canada used to grow them in her garden and fix them 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's.

Morels - an incredible spring delicacy

Welcome to the internet, where some people answer the thread title without reading the first post. And if there is no such key word in the thread title......

Hi, Neighbor! These are all places super close to me! We have family out of state as well, and several of those items are things they want sent to them or get as soon as they come in to visit!!

I love a good 3-Way.










Chili, silly! Cincinnati Chili. Actually my favorite is a 4-way. (I add beans) And fwiw, Skyline isn't the best, but it was the best pic I could find. Dixie Chili is the best. Just sayin'

I've only seen Big Red soda in South Carolina. Goo Goo clusters, also, although I've seen them at Cracker Barrel.
