DE has Scrapple which is A LOT different than souse/liver pudding in the South.

I love that pit beef but Crab Cakes is a Chesapeake Bay thing shared by several states. Scrapple too though I'd never eat scrapple.

Riordan's in Annapolis, MD has the best spicy hot crab dip ever. I wish I had the recipe so I could make it at home.

Fried alligator in Texas and Louisiana....yum

Kolaches from Texas. Although the original kind is topped with fruit, I prefer the kind stuffed with sausage and cheese the best.<<<

What is that?


I've had "she crab" soup from SC.

So good!
It's close enough. It's quite common in NY. You're speaking of Italian Wedding soup right?

Kolaches

I love fried alligator, especially when it's spicy. It gives it a nice bite.

Yes, I wasn't sure if that's what CortlandGirl79 was talking about. It's served here too.

Has anyone ever had Chittlins(chitterlings)? I don't like 'em but I know peeople who do. They are sold in the grocery store here. Are they eaten outside of the South?

In North Central WV it is the "home" of the pepperoni roll. These are so delicious...a crusty roll filled with sliced pepperoni..nothing better..hot from the oven. Sometimes, they are split and marinara sauce and cheese is added for a heartier snack.

Whoopie pies are two cake-like cookies sandwiched together with a creamy filling. Traditionally the cookie is chocolate and the filling tastes "sweet." No real flavor, just very sweet. I make pumpkin cookies and a vanilla or almond flavored cream. It's still very sweet but has its own flavor. I was recently given a recipe for blueberry whoopie pies but haven't made them yet.

It doesn't seem odd here but this evening we're having a sirloin roast with potatoes, carrots and rutabaga. The roast is moose. While the roast sets I'll make gravy for the roast and potatoes. The moose was taken by a friend during the hunt and the rest was grown here.

Those are called Moon Pies in the south, they come in chocolate and banana. In the south they use to be eaten with RC Cola, however RC Cola is harder to find now days, so I'm sure a Coke would do.

I can't believe you'd eat Bullwinkle. Never heard about roast moose. Only moose I've had is a dessert like chocolate mousse.

Those pies sound different than the store bought Moon Pie, they sound homemade.

I thought making "whoopie" was making something else, well it is here.


We have the Black and White cookie, and some are darn good, I think like the Brooklyn Egg Cream, they originated in Brooklyn and sold all over the NY/NJ area. Prepackages or Bakery made either way, some brands good, some not so good.
