South Central PA checking in. We have Scrapple.

It's...well, it's all the parts of the pig that no one thought to eat before.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapple

I haven't had it since I was a kid, and I thought it was disgusting. But my friends love it so maybe I should give it a try again.

PA just does scrapple really badly. They make it so much more blandly than southerners do.

Yup. I just looked it up and it is the same. I’ve only had it once on a business trip to Buffalo and that’s a mighty fine sandwich.

My (Buffalo born & raised) father-in-law taught me the proper way to eat beef on weck: flip the top half of the bun upside-down so that the salt and caraway meld with the hot roast beef.

Also Nick Tahou's garbage plate was awesome:



And scrapple is about as regional as it gets around here (Philadelphia). Seen in its original state, I get the hate.



My wife couldn't believe I'd try to serve it to her, since she'd only had it as this...hot nasty-rear end mush at some "family-style" place in Lancaster as a kid.

However, she came around, after having it prepared properly -fried in bacon grease:



And although things have improved somewhat in the last 20-years, it's nearly impossible to get a proper & decent hoagie outside of Phila/southern NJ.

(edit)

And down in South Carolina, east of Beaufort, is located The Shrimp Shack. They create the Shrimpburger, using fresh-caught shrimp from the Gay Fish Co, literally across the road (the Gay family owns both concerns).



These things taste like Win and God. It's diced shrimp, with just enough of something to hold it together long enough to be fried.
If something like this is made anywhere else, please post about it.

Every turkish food has a 100% equivalent greek food and both the greeks and turks will tell you they are 0% related and completely original.

In this case there is also a lebanese dish which is the same too.

The Levantine Arabs in general have lots of the same food as the Greeks/Turks. So yeah Lebanese, and definitely Syrians. Probably Palestinians and Jordanians as well but I've never eaten at any such joints.
Some of the Balkan peoples right above Greece also have most of the same stuff.

I yearn to find a name for this food world, but every option would cause one or more of these groups to declare war on me.

The grandma who raised me is from Elmira in NY and made this thing where it was hot dogs covered in ground beef topped with mustard and onions. She said was regional but I have no idea since I've never been to that part of New York, just New York City (and Phildalephia, where her ex husband slammed a car door on my arm).

I like geoduck and that's the main regional thing here. My other grandma sautees it with lemon and garlic.

Rhode Island has Clam Cakes, Lobster Rolls, Johnny Cakes, Stuffies, Coffee Milk, Fried Clams and Donut Cake.

Clam Cake is a clam deep fried in a light batter. goes well with a beer.

Stuffie is a clam with stuffing mixed in, pretty tasty.

Lobster Rolls are Lobster bits chopped and served in a hotdog bun, with veggiee and mayo. This may be a Maine regional. A mixture of different takes on seafood.

Coffee Milk Ive never had, but is basically coffee syrup for milk

Fried clams self explanitory

Donut Cake is a donut, but transformed into cake size. Pretty tasty.


We have the most donut shops per capita.

Do with that as you will.

Edit - Lobster Rolls are not RI native. Although they are a New England dish.

It's a mix of egg, cream cheese, and sugar on top of a yellow cake base. It's one of those foods that taste more sugary then actual sugar.

San Antonio represent. we like Big Red here (also comes in big blue, big peach and big pineapple) a lot. probably more than any other soda except for coca cola. it’s bright red and stains your mouth and teeth (red flash is a poor imitator). there’s been a festival celebrating Big Red and barbacoa going on 10 years now and there’s still debate about what flavor it actually is. the closest I’ve heard is gum. usually the most bang for your buck at any H-E-B is gonna be the package deal of Big Red, barbacoa, tortillas and pico de gallo. I’ve seen ribs glazed with it and this hotdog place in town marinates their barbacoa in Big Red

e: people get really loving passionate about it

I've never seen anything good come out of St. Louis in my life, besides maybe BBQ. The city has bad pizza that's a strongly inferior version of Chicago/Midwest square cut thin crust, the gross abomination that is toasted ravioli, bizarre Chinese fast food sandwiches, and mediocre cakes too? I don't even get it. How can one city birth so much crap?

No, it's not a Chicken Parmigiana, it's not a Parma, it's a goddamn heart attack on a plate and we're weirdly protective of it.

We even had our own gang tag in PWM (although this had little to do with the actual dish, it amused me. I think noted exiled Teessider-goon Pissflaps was behind it.)

You'll find lobster rolls all through the Canadian Atlantic provinces, especially along the coast. PEI has a ton of places since lobster fishing a big part of our economy. Hell, even Subway has a lobster sub during lobster season, but for the money you'd be much better off buying one from a small family restaurant.
