    Shrimp and Grits (I only like the grits in cake form, it's kinda like a cheese biscuit) and Seafood Boils are big here.

    I'm from Arkansas originally and the only thing I miss about it is the fantastic cheap Tex-Mex. There's just not that much where I am now (Florida/Georgia line).

    Pepperoni Roll

    Basically, it's what it sounds like. But it's different that what it sounds like, too. During baking, the fats in the pepperoni (which are hard at room temperature) melt, resulting in a spicy oil suffusing into the bread. Anyway, this pepperoni roll - which is pepperoni baked inside of bread - is a portable, self-contained food. it was invented in the 1920's as a lunch/snack option for coal miners - many of whom were italian immigrants.

    Now you can get them as a basic pepperoni roll, or you can get them with cheese, sauce, chilli, peppers, etc.

    i grew up in MD, so that would obviously be crabcakes and steamed crabs (steamed in beer, often National Bohemian , and Old Bay seasoning).

    when i lived out in the SF Bay area, i guess you'd say sourdough bread. but there was also an Ice Cream treat that i don't think is available elsewhere. it was called an "It's It".

    Here in Tulsa, we have some AMAZING home cooked food, like chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, mashed potatoes, and fried okra. We also have some really good barbeque and serve something called "burnt ends". SOOOO good! On on occasion, you can find an Indian taco, which is heavenly.

    .....pigs in the blanket (a/k/a stuffed cabbage).....


    Here, pigs in a blanket are sausage rolls, a sausage rolled up in a dough and baked or fried.

    I'm from Oklahoma. We don't really have anything special I can think of... just a lot of fried things. A LOT.

    I'm orignally from Okie Land too. BRAUMS!!!! The best ice cream I've ever had. Here in Germany, there are way too many to list, like bratwurst and such.
