Southern Foods/Northern Foods
Kristi got me thinking about how foods can taste so different from region to region. What are some foods that you think are regional?
For instance, sweet tea is a must in the south and I cannot stand unsweet tea.
Biscuits and gravy is another one for me.

Re: Southern Foods/Northern Foods
I can't stand sweet tea... although I'm not really an iced tea person much at all anway.
The big thing here I guess is beer. With EVERYTHING. LOL (Our neighbor was telling us this. Her BF is from Chicago and he commented to her how we drink beer up here WITH EVERYTHING. Apparently. LOL We don't.)
Or cheese. Cheese curds. Plain or fried. Cheese whips.
ahhh, sweet tea, I don't like it, I don't tell to many people that 'round these parts though!
I love fried okra and some good BBQ (mustard or ketchup based, not vingager) Cate loves her collard greens and grits, she got that from her southern daddy not from me.
I really miss the roast beef places in MA, I hit a RB place as soon as I land!
I love BBQ too, but not vinegar based. Grits are big here too. My mom loves them, me not so much.
I didn't even know what sweet tea was when McD's came out with it around here. I remember thinking to myself...what is it iced tea with a bunch of Sweet and Low's or something.
I don't know if we have anything that I would consider regional. We are known for our deep dish pizza. You can't really get it anywhere but Chicago.
Ohhh, how could I have forgotten?!
Brats. Yes, as in bratwursts, but they're not the same as most places. LOL
LOL - me 2! It is SOOO good though!
We must not forget the Chicago Style Hotdog. No ketchup here, just tomatoes, celery salt, relish, cucumber, onions, and if you wanted chili, cheese and hot peppers on a poppy seed bun. Mmmmm, mmmmm!

That looks like some hot dog! I know there are different regional hot dogs. I like mine with mustard chili and onions and occasionally cheese!
Good call Melanie!!!
The only things I can think of are Chicago style deep dish pizza and hot dogs like Mel and Jen posted.
In Philly there are the cheesesteaks. And I have never had a cheesesteak anywhere else that compares. lol
In NYC and northern NJ, the pizza and Italian food. Not deep dish pizza. I love a good Grandma or Brooklyn pie.
Minnesota is basically any type of fish possible and anything that can be put on a stick at the state fair: Like gator on a stick & etc....(no ive never had it) Cheese curds are huge here too Paula!
The thing that gets me and the ultrasound tech told me this back when i had my gall bladder out. Casseroles are called hot dishes here, never heard that back at home before. Also pan cookies are called bars. I was like what ?! lol. Of course at least its a split state when it comes to the soda/pop debate since ive always called it pop my entire life.
I definitely agree with this. In South Jersey, we say hoagie. In North Jersey, they say hero. In South Jersey they say lunchmeat. North Jersey calls it cold cuts. South Jersey - gravy. North Jersey - tomato sauce. And there is 1 hr and 45 mins apart between where Blair and I live and my parents.
I thought of some other things: taylor ham is a NJ. And scrapple is a Pennsylvania/South Jersey thing.
Do you eat scrapple? I'd never heard of it until my aunt's friend in NH asked for some. I saw some in the store and it was GROSS!!!
