Hypatia. Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 SC - shrimp & grits (yes, together!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof3littles Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 PA I would say pretzels (Utz and other factories), Philly cheesesteaks, shoofly pie NC I would vote for barbecue, sweet potatoes, brunswick stew (that was new to me when we lived there-not sure how common this is in other southern states) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 FL - key lime pie, anything to do with orange juice/citrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Adding to KY - Ale 8 (softdrink) also in seed catalogs you always see green beans with Kentucky in the name so they must be from Kentucky. fyi - Burgoo was originally a hunter's stew so the meat was whatever was caught (including squirrel, rabbit etc).

Stacia Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 In addition to the GA things mentioned, don't forget that GA is the home of Coca-Cola and Chick-Fil-A. Although GA is known as the 'peach' state, I think SC actually grows more peaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSOchristie Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 NC: BBQ! Brunswick stew, apple dumplings, Krispy Kreme, Cheerwine, Pepsi is supposedly e taste of the Carolinas, but we only know one family who drinks it :). Down east you have shrimp and grits and low country boil, which are also claimed by SC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSOchristie Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 When we lived in KY I was introduced to hot browns and Derby pie, so amazingly delicious, also KFC. VA: I don't think I saw country ham listed, which I hate and my family insists on serving at every brunch event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenNC Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Is boudin an alternative spelling for the poutine, originally from Quebec? Boudin is a type of sausage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudin Poutine is french fries with brown gravy and cheese curds http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew about poutine because of my friend in Montreal. My attempted mental jump was because of the P/B and the T/D consonant pairs (voiceless/voiced) appearing in the same part of the words. Also the French culture of both regions. So it seemed a defensible guess on my part. -- albeit a mistake after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 WV is home of the pepperoni roll. This is true. I've never seen the elsewhere. No cheese. No sauce. Just pepperoni in a soft, slightly sweet roll. It's that, or ramps and you do NOT want to go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan in SC Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 SC- peaches, rice, grits, pecans SC actually produces over twice as many peaches as Georgia and has done so for several decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creekland Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I agree with what has already been written about PA (except for apples and peaches, both of which are here, but IME don't compare with NY/WA - apples and GA - peaches). Also, what we've found in PA (to add to the others) are: Pork & Sauerkraut - esp for New Year's Faustnaughts - a type of donut served on Mardi Gras - it's Faustnaught Day here, not Mardi Gras Lebanon bologna - a type of sandwich meat Chicken corn soup Chicken/beef pot pie - that isn't a pie - it's more like a stew or soup "Amish" macaroni or potato salads - a sweet version of regular types Many varieties of local potato chips and pretzels These are the things my guys always want when they come back home because they can't get them elsewhere AND Philly Cheesesteaks, but they were mentioned before a couple of times. Actually, we don't like the Amish versions of the salads, and don't really do the local pot "pie" versions, but the others they always ask for.

Cinder Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 In addition to the GA things mentioned, don't forget that GA is the home of Coca-Cola and Chick-Fil-A. Although GA is known as the 'peach' state, I think SC actually grows more peaches. And Waffle House. :laugh: Actually the best peaches I've ever had were from AL. I remember hearing a story that GA's nickname was originally Pitch State (because of all the pine trees) but got changed to Peach because it was more appealing. Don't know if it's true but with the deluge of pine pollen we get each spring it sure sounds reasonable to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could they be slippery dumplings? That would be sad and wrong because dumplings should be fluffy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriedClams Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 MS - BBQ (better than Memphis ;-) ), catfish, blueberries (big fat ones), Mississippi mud pie/cake, tea, deer (steaks...sausage... Think Forrest Gump but venison...), Edam cheese from Mississippi State's dairy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
