What food is your state/home known for? How do you make it?

[Lehuaann]

Hot Chicken (aka Nashville Hot Chicken). Spicy marinated fried chicken finished and coated with more spice/sauce (levels vary) served on white bread with pickles.

We are trying new recipes from around the US and world. My kids are learning about the area right down to local favorites. What are some things we should try?

WISCONSIN

Brats and BEER
Brats must be grilled
Beer must be cold! and preferably from WI like NewGlaurus or any Leinenkugel

 

[LeslieLou]

Ohio
Buckeye candy- creamy peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar rolled in to balls and dipped in to coating chocolate or chocolate with a little wax
Skyline chili 3 way- spaghetti with Skyline chili (no beans) and thin shredded cheese on top
Ohio Nachos (made with potato chips)
Johnny Marzetti
Ice cream (Graeter’s, Jeni’s, etc)
Bahama Mama (Schmidt’s)
Perch

Pulled pork or as it is known...BBQ. You make it by going to a good BBQ joint and buying it.

My kinda cooking!

Scrapple

I love scrapple!

 

[billlaurie]

Crab cakes - I make them the usual/basic way
ham & oyster dinners - can't get w/ oysters
turtle soup - I favor Robert Irvines recipe but there are some great regional and old recipes
camp soup - half cream of crab soup, half maryland crab soup
and of course, the super regional muskrat - I've only made it once, stewed it. Didn't eat it....one & done for me

You must live on the Eastern Shore. The muskrat gave you away. My father was from that side of the bridge and brought Muskrat home once for my mother to cook. Never again, she said. I remember the smell, and not fondly, that was probably 40 years ago.
Steamed crabs were the first thing I thought of.

You must live on the Eastern Shore.

Guilty as charged, although you see it a lot in central De during the season as well.

It’s gross to see dressed,I cooked it once but didn’t try it.

Soft pretzels
cheesesteak
pork roll

Philly or NJ? Lol

 

[bennifer]

Philly has their cheesesteak, but Pittsburgh has Primanti Bros. sandwiches with fries and coleslaw on them. Never ask them to take off the fries and slaw! We also like fries on our salads.

Went to Pittsburgh for a wedding, had Primanti Brothers while there. Awesome! One in the group got an egg on the sandwich as well.

Pepperoni rolls
Here's a recipe that is close to how I make them. There's always discussions about if they should have cheese or not and what kind of pepperoni to use.
The school I work at even makes pepperoni rolls about once a month. So good!

Oh yum. The double egg is my favorite. DH wanted to get takeout from Primantis this weekend, now I’m regretting telling him no!

Live in South Jersey now, but from North Jersey originally, can’t call it pork roll. It’s still Taylor ham for us. LOL

Haven’t been in the office for nearly a year, but the owner of our company would bring back soft pretzels when he went into Philly. Everyone in the office wound up in the kitchen shortly thereafter.

Don’t know where you are, but to us a “sloppy joe” to us is ground beef, onions, whatever sort of sauce you like (we have a homemade family recipe), on a bun. The bun is generally open faced for us. My daughter in laws family said they were having sloppy joes and it was a deli sandwich. Very good, but not a sloppy joe. LOL

In North Carolina, it’s pork barbecue. But we have several different styles. You can Google that. South Carolina barbecue is a totally different style.

Also, a Carolina style cheeseburger is a cheeseburger with yellow mustard, onions, cole slaw and chili. This is also called ‘all the way’ at least in our area. Hot dogs can also be ‘all the way’.

 

[mi*vida*loca]

Scrapple, and I *really* don't want to know how they make it. I like it sliced thin, fried in butter, on a kaiser roll with a fried egg and some cream cheese. Yes, it's a heart attack on a plate, which is why I only indulge once in a while.

Cheesesteaks. I've never eaten a good cheesesteak made at home, you have to go to a good cheesesteak joint. Pat's and Geno's are tourist traps. When I'm back in the old neighborhood I go to a place near my sister's house, Uncle Oogie's.

Soft pretzels, real Philadelphia soft pretzels, not the Super Pretzels or whatever they're called. With lots of salt and spicy mustard. Federal Baking Company makes good ones. Have a soft pretzel with another Philly thing, a water ice. A cherry water ice.

This.

I’ll add really good bagels and pork roll or some call it Taylor ham. And true Philadelphia water ice.

North Dakota here. We have lefsa, krumkake,
Rosettes, spaetzle, kuchen, numerous hotdishes, but my favorite is knoephla soup.

Louisiana has the best food by far. Jambalaya, etouffee, beans and rice ... the list is endless.

Texas has of course Texas style barbecue and Tex-Mex. I google recipes for the Tex-Mex and buy the bbq.

Jims steaks in southside, oh man

Cincinnati Chili. Many grocery stores in the US will have cans of Gold Star or Skyline (sadly, the best is Dixie Chili and they are a smaller chain.) You can also make your own, the recipe is easy to find online.

Goetta. (Pronounced get-uh) similar to scrapple but uses oats in lieu of cornmeal.

My DH is from Philly, we love pork roll but its expensive in the south ( texas) so we do not get it much... the only places I can find it is whole foods and Central market. .. I dont think anywhere sells scrapple.
