This thread is making me want to get out on the road and do an extended culinary road trip.
(Cleverly disguised as a “Lou” from Lou Malnati’s—which also makes awesome not-deep dish pies)
Thanks for starting this.Okay - full disclosure - I hijacked this topic from Reddit a few years back. However, I believe the members of this forum will be much more creative and informative.
So, here's the setup; FIRE.org is finally having the ultimate extended family picnic (per Dory)
Please bring some dish that is from your state / region / city, or country. Also, any other regional contribution. Most important, keep it lighthearted and fun.
I'll kick it off with North Carolina:
Dish - livermush (it actually tastes good, but belongs in the same health food group as bacon, sausage, etc)
Side - moonshine delivered in a Nascar vehicle at 200 MPH (turning left, of course)
From SE Michigan...Coney dogs*, Vernors pop**, and for dessert --

Taylor Ham / French toast ice cream:
Taylor ham ice cream is about to conquer the world. Okay, maybe just New Jersey | NJ.com
Taylor Ham, aka pork roll is a New Jersey thing - it's a pork product that's sort of a cross between bologna and bacon. It's always fried, kind of greasy, and tastes great. I can't imagine how this would be in ice cream but I'd definitely try it!
In post 33 I asked for KC's, Go Chicken Go gizzards, they have regular chicken too. I've eaten there for 35 years and never tried the chicken parts, only organ meat! It's not like anywhere else.Is someone bringing regular old-fashioned fried chicken (not the hot spicy stuff)? Because I really would travel for that!
Well, count on the Canadians to bring dessert:
Beavertails
Butter tarts (w/raisins)
Nanaimo bars
and to sip, Niagara Ice Wine.
