Regional foods?

Here in New Jersey we have taylor ham. It is delicious, and for some reason the rest of the world knows nothing of it! What foods do you have where you live that the rest of the world doesn't seem to know about?

O okay, taylor ham is kind of like sausage. It is a breakfast meat, in comes in slices and you fry it, and it is delicious.

Where I am from in Ireland (Waterford) you can buy a Blaa - its a floury breadroll - sort of like a bap but not as dense and a lot nicer. You cannot buy a blaa anywhere outside of Waterford...even a few miles outside Waterford they have no idea what you are talking about if you ask!!

Pork roll. Scrapple. Cheese steaks. Hoagies.

Probably the same as New Jersey.

At the world famous Pinks hot dogs in Hollywood, you can get a hot dog with guacamole on it.

the word scouse, reminded me of Souse, dont know if it is the same thing, but Souse is Southern food I think, made from all the "un-used" portions of a pig. Then formed into a long block and cut like sliced cheese. Many of the foods people have mentioned so far, I have never heard of. Except the crawfish or we call them crawdads. Nancy you did not tell us what taylor ham is, so what is it? I love to try new foods, IF they are not really weird, like some of the things you see that guy on TV eat. gheesh Back home everyone LOVES Lamb Fries made by the Italians. But we stick with venison stew or a big pot of homemade potato soup or homemade chilli in the winter months where I am from now.

when i lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, we ate A LOT of spicy crawfish. it was soooo...good! i live in Utah now, where the favorite spice is salt, and we eats lots of chicken. Utahns are great cooks, though, lots of fruits and veges. you can't get fresh boiled crawfish here, though.

"Chokladgröt" is chocolate porridge.

"Memma" is something that looks like black poo and is eaten during easter with unwhiped cream.

"Surströmming" is rotten fish that smells like 1000 dead corpses to give a little taste.

In the midwest (US) you can get a Runza which is ground beef, cabbage, and a few spices baked in a yeast roll. Here in Houston, crawfish are mudbugs and eaten boiled with potatoes, ears of corn, whole onions, a couple of carrots. It's all served in a bucket that you pour over a table covered in newspaper. Sometimes you get shrimp instead of mudbugs. Everyone eats with their hands, drinks cold bev's and hoses off or heads to the beach to clean up

Well, where I live, we have some interesting things here that include such delicacies as:
panza - kind of Mexican haggis
barbacoa - lamb wrapped in the leaves of the maguey cactus and cooked in a pit dug in the earth
escamoles - the larvae of a particular black ant
chinicuiles - little red bugs that are found in and around maguey cactus - they have a distinctive odor when cooked and are quite spicey
gusanos de maguey - white worms that grow in maguey cactus
agua miel - the juice from the maguey cactus that can be fermented
pulque - a drink of Aztec origin that is similar to beer, but made by fermenting the juice of the maguey cactus
nopales - the pads of the prickly pear cactus
tunas - prickly pear fruit
I admit that I haven't eaten the insect delicacies, but I am sure they are very delicious.
Apart from agua miel, I have tried all the rest . As I don't like beer, I'm not fond of pulque. They say that men who drink pulque are very fertile. Given that in the past it was common to have 10 or more children in a family, they may have something there!
