Oh the grits. Sweet tea is huge here.

I live in a small area of the South where we put sugar in our grits. From the best I can tell, this seems to be isolated to Northern Georgia.

Haluski anyone?
And I guess putting coleslaw on sandwiches

DBF's family is from Johnstown. Haluski is awesome.

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.

Oh man, I haven't heard about Lefse in so long. My grandparents were Scandinavian, my grandma made the best Lefse. I haven't had it since she passed 18 years ago. I need to make some. I kind of remember her recipe but I am sure my mom has it somewhere!

It sucks to make but so worth it! My grandma also made the best and I think I have finally perfected her recipe wooo!

Central Illinois is home to the Horseshoe Sandwich! Texas Toast, Beef Patty (or meat of your choice) French Fries smothered in cheese sauce!!!

Some people here in UK eat cows tongue ! Eeeeeeugh

A lot of Mexican restaurants make tacos out of them. When I go to Chicago I always bring one back. It's easy to cook and delicious.

We used to visit Hermosillo Mex all the time and they always served fried intestines.

Im from Vermont and i believe poutine if from just north of us in Canada, but just about every place around here serves a variation

You haven’t lived until you had this (not regional )

I can't think of anything gross .. some people fry chicken liver that's about it

I can't think of anything odd in BC, however, some might think poutine is strange.

breakfast in Honolulu..... pineapple pancakes ( and yes, they are low calorie and non-fat )





I know, those are strawberries, not pineapple; it's the same concept.
trust me on this one.

Here in Maine, people eat pickled wrinkles (whelks). I don't, because I'm allergic to shellfish, but it's definitely a thing.
Another delicacy I can't eat: the tomalley or tamale of a lobster (basically, its liver. It's green and nasty.)
In some parts of Maine, we're close enough to Canada to get poutine (gravy cheese fries).

I've never had grits. Someone said the texture is like Cream of Wheat. (Is that right?) Because i'd probably hate grits because I could never stomach Cream of Wheat. Also, wasn't Malt-o-
Meal almost the same as Cream of Wheat?

*Gag*

Pretty much, grits are slightly larger and not quite as small and soupy. Its just corn, nothing gross about them, but I get that textures of some things bother people.

Yep, sugar in the grits. If no sugar, then cheese.

Are you a Georgia boy?? Is that the ***nga at the end of your id??

Yes, born and raised.

One thing I always hated as a kid was butter and syrup with biscuits. Its just butter mashed up into pancake syrup and eaten with biscuits
