Okay, now I'm think about the lobster roll with toasted buttered bread I had in Maine. Thanks Maine Writer. All your fault.

You're welcome! Come back in August for blueberry pie after a lobster roll. It's 6" thick, topped with real whipped cream and made with wild Maine blueberries.

Wow. I'm hungry now.

Florida; Cracker cuisine, fried gator tail, sauteed swamp cabbage, smoked mullet, blue crabs... not to mention all the fabulous seafood when one moves to the coasts, Floribbean cuisine, strawberries in February, can we say citrus?
Missouri; The Little Rhine region, land of wine and German cuisine, wonderful produce, we eat a lot of BBQ and other pork dishes there, toasted raviolis in the STL area, and gooey butter cake, just to name a couple.... sausages galore, from the states German heritage...-sigh- this made me hungry, now I gotta eat!

There are also a lot of people of Scandinavian ancestry in this part of the country, and lutefisk and lefse suppers are very popular in a lot of the smaller communities. Having heard descriptions of the lutefisk, I've never been brave enough to go to one of those suppers, and this article should leave no doubt as to why: Lutefisk (http://netnet.net/~pineaire/Lutefisk.html - broken link) Lefse is supposed to be less disgusting, but I've been told it's pretty bland. Of course, after eating a dried codfish soaked in lye, you'd probably want something bland...
Lutefisk, gag, from MN originally, but don't knock the the lefse, is like a potato tortilla, rather than flour, very thin, put on some butter, sugar or brown sugar, and roll up, is wonderful...no comparison to nasty fish soaked in lye....not had and will not....
