He didn't mention the town where Spiedies are from. :v: [sp]It's Binghamton, New York, and yes I live there and we have a festival dedicated to them.[/sp] To be fair they're very delicious.
The whole "you shouldn't eat anywhere else" is kind of a pointless addition to the title imo Rocky Mountain Oysters are fairly prevalent in the south as well. My hometown's had "testical festivals" for the past 15 years
I don't get the title. What does this showcase explain regarding why you shouldn't eat them anywhere else? Or was it just supposed to be regional foods?
[QUOTE=Abrown516;44750470]I don't get the title. What does this showcase explain regarding why you shouldn't eat them anywhere else? Or was it just supposed to be regional foods?[/QUOTE] it's just regional foods throughout the US
This fool just hated on Frito Pie. How the fuck!? It's just chili with frito's. It just adds a crunch...
Frito Pie is amazing.
So wait, why does finding a baby in your King Cake make you special?
Grits is the most godly thing you can eat with eggs and bacon. Him being from Alabama makes the point even more valid because he knows what grits are, like me.
He didn't even mention BBQ. What the hell that's a staple food in the south.
[QUOTE=Combat Wombat;44751017]He didn't even mention BBQ. What the hell that's a staple food in the south.[/QUOTE] If he mentioned the types of bbq he'd have to add at least 20 more fucking parts to the list.
[QUOTE=GeneralMoosen;44750976]So wait, why does finding a baby in your King Cake make you special?[/QUOTE] The babby represents luck or prosperity.
how can you not like scrapple it's like pan fried sausage on steroids
[QUOTE=Abrown516;44750470]I don't get the title. What does this showcase explain regarding why you shouldn't eat them anywhere else? Or was it just supposed to be regional foods?[/QUOTE] The title's just a way of saying "these foods are best in one region to the point where you shouldn't bother eating them elsewhere"
[QUOTE=GeneralMoosen;44750976]So wait, why does finding a baby in your King Cake make you special?[/QUOTE] in new orleans it basically means "gj you get to throw the party next year and pay for everything" as a person who's mildly obsessed with new orleans i can say wholeheartedly that kings cake is absolutely nothing to write home about. it's "fun", but it's basically some bread with sugar on it.
Hey man Maryland scrapple is great, they even have a fucking scrapple fest. [editline]7th May 2014[/editline] Also Alligator sausage is gross, normal Gator is way better.
I'm a little disappointed "fish tacos" aren't on there. I know that everyone makes them now, but they're nowhere near as good as a San Diego fish taco.
I had alligator sausage in new orleans once. It was okay, kinda like a tougher pork, a little fishy too.
Dirty Jobs did a segment on scrapple, it honestly doesn't look that bad. [video=youtube;0h9-R3Wzf1I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h9-R3Wzf1I[/video]
[QUOTE=doomkiwi;44751239]I'm a little disappointed "fish tacos" aren't on there. I know that everyone makes them now, but they're nowhere near as good as a San Diego fish taco.[/QUOTE] I'd really like to try those, but I don't know where the most well known is. And SD's one helluva drive
I just had to get some spam after that spam sushi roll thing. Mmm, i just love that anus and foreskin taste. Spam is actually pretty fuckin tasty, but only when cooked right. I was actually surprised to not see anything from missouri on that list, he seemed to focus entirely on the south and east coast. He should've at least mentioned that kickass KC barbecue we have here(fuck you kansas, it's ours).
I want to try the cola Cake. Also, no love for Poutine in Quebec.
[QUOTE=Feuver;44751389]I want to try the cola Cake. Also, no love for Poutine in Quebec.[/QUOTE] No love for anything in Canada, we need our own video. And it'd have to have Nanaimo bars and tire d'érable.

Hailing from Illinois, I can confirm that horseshoe sandwiches are the motherfucking bomb and you will get heart disease if you eat one.
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;44751092]The title's just a way of saying "these foods are best in one region to the point where you shouldn't bother eating them elsewhere"[/QUOTE] Gotcha. In that case, he didn't acknowledge Florida at all. Had a whole section about pies and neglected Key Lime pie!
Ya'll bitches ain't had [img]https://craponaplate.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/faggots.jpg[/img] Tasty as fuck.
What an interesting video on American cuisine!
God, what's with all that hate on intestines and offals? Animal organs are some of the most underrated and best ingredients.
