Just a small question

[RaNkeri]

Does every state in USA have their own "trademark dish"?

Just curious, because in Europe almost every province have their own "special" meals. :/

[executioneer]

yeah, pretty much

sometimes it's more of a individual city than a state thing, too

edit: and it's more common on the east coast than the west coast, since that area's been populated longer

[Dire Flamingo]

As far as I can tell California's is Starbucks. :(

[Fathom Zero]

In Cinncinnati, Ohio, it's chili. Mmmm.., Gold Star, Skyline, and all of the Mom-and-Pop places, there's so many choices.

I think what we do best, though, is barbecue. That's not saying that other countries don't do barbecue. Barbecue is what we do the best.

[kahljorn]

Do you have any delicous bbq recipes, fathom zero? i love bbqing in the winter.

[Fathom Zero]

Well, I know that taco seasoning can make a pretty good dry rub.

Once I made this bitchin' pork-chop, it had a whole lot of stuff in it, red pepper, garlic powder, taco seasoning, caesar's dressing, etc. but I never wrote anything down.

[noob3]

skyline in southside OKC sucks balls I have a horror story where I lost a ring behind the booth there & like some greasy cook came and fished it out but this is after all the waitresses told me it was a lost cause

plus if you go there late at night its a bunch of hookers

AND THEY HAVE NO FRIES and rock hard "rolls" they should call them "yeast rocks"

[Fathom Zero]

What the fuck is a Skyline doing in Oklahoma?

[noob3]

its off the 35 man

I know I'm butting in and all, but Chipotle Marionberry-Blackberry sauce. I cannot recommend it enough. Of course, you have to add a spice rub to get it actually spicy, but that shit is delicious.

[Fathom Zero]

HE ASKED FOR RECIPES. :(

[Emu]

Illinois' state dish would have to be corrupt governors :badumpssssh

actually though it's probably steak or something with biscuits in it.

[Fathom Zero]

You must have some big steaks in Illinois.

[kahljorn]

steak with bisquits in it made me lol :(

[sadie]

bisquits made me lol.

[ArrowX]

In Grande Prairie we eat used needles and 100 dollar bills.
But Alberta as a whole eats cattle.

[zeldasbiggestfan]

All we have here is corn. :(

[Emu]

get the fuck out, i already spoke for our state

[zeldasbiggestfan]

Shutup I want to speak for it to.

[Sacks]

I believe Utah's state food or whatever is Jello. It might just be SLC's though. This girl I knew from there wouldn't stop bringing it up.

[xbxDaniel]

Northern Kentucky's big on Chili, because we're practically a part of Ohio. The farther South you go, I've noticed, the more the trend goes towards chicken.

[GADZOOKS]

Well Emu and Zelda might be right for the southern inbred part of Illinois but Chicago's trademark is their deep dish pizza and polish sausage, yum!

THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE EAT IN NC ALL THE TIME I CAN'T STAND THIS DAMN PLACE'S FOOD >: >: >:

[Sacks]

When I saw that picture a voice in my head went "LAAAAAAAAAWWWD!"

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

Most states have 'traditional' foods.

Some states have an 'official' fruit..California has several - most native to San Francisco.

[kahljorn]

OH A GAY JOKE HOW CLEVER

[Grislygus]

Wow. I didn't notice the gay joke until you pointed it out. FAIL.

[kahljorn]

:lol. I like fruit :(

I'm getting some honeydew melons tomorrow from the farmers market. They are delicous. I'm also a big fan of avocado and kiwi.

[executioneer]

washnington apples, they're the best >: >: >: >:

F*CK michigan apples

[Sethomas]

HOOSIER PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH.

I was actually thinking about how funny it would be to create a fake account with the name Ronny Bojangles, just to freak out the vets. Then again, Agent Burdock came back temporarily a while ago. Woah!

[Rongi]

new york has pizza

the kind you have to fold to eat!

good pizza is hard to find in other new england states :(

[Esuohlim]

washnington apples, they're the best >: >: >: >:

F*CK michigan apples

That's it willie the gloves are OFF

[kahljorn]

I thought there used to be a poster here named Mr. Bojangles :O

[Sethomas]

That's what i mentioned, Kahl.

[kahljorn]

I probably thought you were talking about a tap dancer.

[sadie]

thanks. now i've got that dumb song in my head.

i guess virginia's food would be ham, virginia ham, though i don't really like it very much (too salty). or maybe pickled pig's feet and "chitlins." yuck. just kidding.

[MLE]

Maryland has crabs and putting old bay seasoning on everything. It's most popular on chips and fries.
