Kind of looks like it, but C&D usually has more sauce and may have veggies (I like peas, but usually have to mix them from a side dish as others don't like them).2 -

Could be
but Chicken Pastry here in Eastern NC.
Our Chicken and Dumplings in PA were similar to what @carvedtone suggests-a more soup like base with vegetables. Our dumplings were more round and similar to matzo balls but not matzo.0 -
Washington state Penn Cove mussels0

Kansas - Chili and cinnamon rolls! I didn't realize until the last year or two that was a midwestern thing, and other people are confused by it. It was a school lunch staple when I was a kid. Now that I know it's special to my area I appreciate it even more.2

I'm from Scotland and live not far from the supposed birthplace of the battered Mars bar - a deliciously melty, chocolatey delight!

This is what kolaches look like in Minnesota (actually from Montgomery MN, Home of the Kolacky).
This is probably what 9 different Czech grandmas made and all are quite different.
Incidentally, during Kolacky days which are coming up later in July, I won the women's division of the Bun Run many years ago. Holy kitten was it hot and hilly.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the lettuce merely for garnish? You don't actually eat it do you?0 -
Finally, Poutine. When my sister was in college she lived in Trois Rivieres, Quebec. I went up to visit and we went out to eat. She got poutine for us, and when the waitress brought it to the table, she set it down and said something that loosely translated to "eat it before it sets" since once it cools off it pretty much congeals... yikes.0

Two eggs (usually fried), potato, pinto beans over a tortilla and smothered with red or green chile and cheese...I prefer red for Huevos.
I usually have this for Sunday brunch at Casa de Benevidez once every couple of months.
At least once a week! Yummy huevos!0 -

Um, I'm a Cajun from southeast Louisiana and have NEVER heard of that. Must be a north Louisiana thing.0 -

Nope. South Central Cajun here too. It was a regular at our dinner table. I think it's more of a "southern" thing than an LA thing though.WJS_jeepster wrote: »mom23mangos wrote: »I've seen people gag over this one, but it's a staple in Louisiana (and the South in general).

I haven't had it since I was a kid, but I remember eating the pear juice covered lettuce.0 -
I live in Kansas City and I guess I would say bbq burnt ends?? It’s not weird though... my husband is always wanting burnt ends when we get bbq anywhere out of town and I have to keep telling him I think that’s a Kansas City thing??
I just got back from Springfield MO and went to this god awful “Mexican” restaurant. I was so appalled at the slop they served me. I love Mexican food though (real Mexican food). Apparently this restaurant is one of Springfield’s delicacy’s because everyone there loves this place. Yuck. I am almost offended they call that Mexican lmao0 -

Curiosity is genuinely piqued now. What town are you from?0 -
Sunset. In between Lafayette and Opelousas.

My in-laws from Richard/Church Point never heard of it. The in-laws from Morgan City haven't either. I'm from Thibodaux. I'm trying it though! Will see if I've found something new to share. LOL0 -

I grew up eating this in Florida, too. However, it was never on lettuce as that was too healthy and we didn't add the cherry. Our salad dressing was mayo. Not that Miracle Whip crap. Real mayo mixed with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.0 -
Our town is relatively new ... An oil town of sorts, with military types thrown in. People here queue for homemade Texas style pumkin pie, Southern Crack pie, Southern Vanilla Chess pie, PA bean pie which had to be sold first come, first served, with a limit of 2 orders per person only. These are tiny one serving pies. The only other thing people go gah-gah for is the California tray Italian Ice - pineapple, guava, watermelon, mango or cherry.
Here's a melting version I'd had @over 111°F.
