A couple of weeks ago I linked to a map of the US in which each state was labeled with a kind of food associated with the state. Many sites featured the map, and the comments were full of consternation and alternatives. Sure, Hawaii produces the pineapples, but the people who live there eat Spam. All over the world, people think fried chicken when you say Kentucky, but it’s not a particularly native dish nor all that popular in the state. There are foods listed that some state’s lifelong citizens had never heard of! So I looked up some of those obscure regional foods to see what they are all about. Read about knoephla, pasties, chislic, and more in this article I posted at mental_floss.
