Okay, maybe they're not weird to you, but they might be to someone else.
What's something that's eaten where you live but not necessarily everywhere else?

    I am in the midwest and can't really think of anything "weird". Gross? Yes. Like mountain oysters are popular here. I have never and will never try them.

    We do serve cinnamon rolls with our chili. I am told by other region inhibitors that that is weird. It is amazingly yummy though.

    Chili & cinnamon rolls. BIL from another state never heard of it and thought we were all f-ing with him ... Until it was for dinner one night.

    I find sweet tea repulsive. It's just brown sugar water. Blech!

    Guess in Minnesota we turn lots of stuff in to a "Hotdish" or what other people would maybe call a casserole.

    TatorTot Hotdish is the yummiest of all

    I'm not originally from Oklahoma, but when I moved here as a teenager I was disgusted to learn that a lot of people put chopped hardboiled eggs in their thanksgiving stuffing and gravy. Gross.

    I'm from South Carolina and our mustard based pulled pork in a highlight. We're also big on shrimp n' grits but I'm not a huge fan of grits. I googled to make sure I wasn't missing something and one site has boiled peanuts on the list. Yall seriously don't eat boiled peanuts???? They're great, I like the ham/cajun variety.

    lots of people here are Scandinavian...and therefore eat a lot of lutefisk. I've never tried it myself, but based on the smell I wouldn't recommend. Another Scandinavian thing that is fairly popular here, Lefse. My personal favorite. I would (and do) eat that shiz day and night.

    Yesss....Lefse. It's been a grip since I have had that.
