Most iconic food for each state

[absoluteUnit]

Is this accurate in your opinion?

 

[Sparty1045]

An ice cream potato is in fact not a potato

 

[quickfeet]

Lol at the Virginia fags and their coke and peanuts

 

[skramer100]

Florida will be stone crabs but it should be snook.

 

[DawgB]

Uh, Buffalo = chicken wings? Probably most iconic food ever associated with a city.

TN, Nashville = hot chicken

GA, Augusta = pimento cheese sammich

 

[CDDP]

No toasted ravioli for Missouri? I mean St. Louis

 

[STMF2X]

Runza is the thing I miss most about Nebraska

 

[TheGratefulReb]

Steamed crawdads?

Don't get me wrong, I love a spring crawfish boil...but the yank who made this is dead wrong for my state. And its CRAWFISH you dumb fucking hack. Also, who the fuck steams some mudbugs? Supposed to be boiled in all kinds of zesty/spicy good shit. Its also legally wrong for any state other than Louisiana to claim crawfish in any form.

Mississippi is BISCUITS

Sweet corn bread for iowa? I live in Iowa and have never even heard of it. Noone here even makes regular corn bread. What a shit job on some of these.

Dammit I worked on this for like twelve hours

 

[BayouCityHorn]

Might want to throw some Tex Mex on Texas and crawfish in Louisiana.

Who the fuck makes those lists?

Dr. Fauci.

Don't hate on a cold glass bottle of coke filled with salty nuts.

SC?

Edit: didn't know you made this list, but SC is the home of BBQ.

 

[Pillow Pants]

SC: Beaufort Stew/Lowcountry Boil might be it, but it's more likely Shrimp and Grits.

Also pulled pork BBQ is far more iconic in the Carolinas than in Missouri. Ribs would be my pick for Missouri, but I've only visited a handful of times.

This is correct, especially when it's Mexican Coke which is made from pure cane sugar.

For the Carolinas i'd be okay with either, but if a mother fucker says grit cake for shrimp and grits i'll kill'em.

 

[TJHall1]

Iowa chops

 

[Carlscat]

Looks solid outside of CA mentioning a chain restaurant over fish tacos or the like.

I’m from VB and that simply isn’t true in any way shape or form.

No. No it isn’t. Not even the best out of the two Carolinas.

Saltwater taffy for NJ is horrendous. I've lived my entire life at the beach in jersey and have had that trash maybe a handful of times. It's for tourists in cape may and Atlantic city.

Should be pork roll or some Italian food.

Id even say boiled peanuts over lowcountry boil. If you consider the entire state.

I'm okay with Pecan Pie, but needs to be heated with a little bit of butter on it and a scoop of ice cream

 

[imprimis]

My Dad taught us kids to put peanuts in coke 60+ years ago. I know he had never been to Virginia. I don't do it often but it is tasty.

 

[Quatch$]

Take that Philly cheese steak and fucking choke on it.

 

[Alpha_Cock]

I think it is a pretty good list. But, they gave up on VA with peanuts and coke. Most of my family is from there, if we didn't have a salt-slapped ham for every family meal, we weren't in the state. So, they should have changed to "Virginia Baked Ham with Red Eye Gravy". With a side of green beans, slaw, and rolls.

 

[Taggart]

Correct on the pepperoni rolls, but what the fuck are those things in the picture? Look like cinnamon buns. These are pepperoni rolls:

 

[GarnetPild]

I can get onboard with lowcountry boil/Beaufort/Frogmore stew for SC. I could also say BBQ. Maybe chicken bog...it is very much a low country thing, but then so is Frogmore stew, really. Pulled pork BBQ is probably the most commonly eaten regional food here, and many argue that it all started in South Carolina.

 

[TopHook]

No. No it isn’t. Not even the best out of the two Carolinas.

It's where bbq originated from. The Indians in the low country.

 

[ttyh]

Need to add Chicken Fried Steak for Texas.

I lol'ed at Steamed Crawdads.

 

[scanodd]

I've never heard of chorizo hash but it looks good.

WTF Colorado, also a little jealous of Virginia

 

[TJHall1]

I'm pretty sure the most eaten thing by males in California is dicks. Not sure how thats not on there.

Always heard it originated with slaves, who got the shitty cuts of meat and would cook them low and slow for many hours to make them more palatable...I'd be interested in more info on indians & bbq if you have any. You learn something every day.

I doubt it has a single origin. Using natural fire to slow cook meat to tenderness is one of those things that anyone skilled in the art could accomplish.

This is true. It is why so many regions claim to be where BBQ started...they probably all did come up with it on their own, way back when. Hell, the 1st BBQ likely came about the same time that man began cooking his food over fire, thousands of years ago.

soul food yes. the slaves did bring that over. As you said it's been going on for a while, but the first bbq recorded in America was in the low country of SC. I'll try to find more.

 

[Cletusnow]

Nevada is spot on.

Chislic for South Dakota.
