2 teaspoons sweet paprika
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 cups all-purpose flour
Serving suggestions: french fries and cocktail sauce or BBQ sauce
Directions
Directions
Trim the excess fat and silver skin from the steak and cut into strips about 1/2-inch wide and 2 to 3 inches long.
Whisk together the buttermilk, Worcestershire, 2 teaspoons of the salt and 1 teaspoon each of the black pepper, granulated garlic, dry mustard and paprika in a bowl. Add the steak strips to the buttermilk mixture and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Heat 3 inches of oil in a Dutch oven to 350 degrees F.
Whisk together the flour, the remaining 2 teaspoons salt and the remaining 1 teaspoon each of the black pepper, granulated garlic, dry mustard and paprika in a shallow dish.
Strain the meat, reserving the buttermilk mixture. In batches, dredge the strips into the seasoned flour, then back into the buttermilk mixture, and back again into the seasoned flour.
Dip the double-dredged strips carefully into the hot oil. You will need to fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding. When the strips are golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes, remove them with a slotted spoon onto a paper-towel-lined plate.
Serve the steak fingers immediately with french fries and cocktail or BBQ sauce.
Scones
(Not the biscuit type, this is more like an Indian Fry Bread)
Makes - about 20 scones
Total Time - 2 hours

1 1/2 Tbsp. Sugar
1 Tbsp. Yeast
1/2 tsp Salt

You can make the dough by hand (Mix, Knead for 15 minutes, and let rise for an hour).
Break off pieces of dough, flatten by hand, or rolling pin to about 3 inch rounds.

Deep fry in oil until golden brown (around 350 degrees).
Serve with honey butter.
Honey Butter:
Ingredients
* 3/4 cup butter, room temperature

The link mentions chicken-fried steak. It's great if the cook knows how to fix it.
Rocky Mountain Oysters, calf testicles. Back when Americans ate lamb we had lamb fries, sauteed lamb testicles. They taste better than calves'.
Son of a gun stew. I'll link to a recipe, but don't worry. Add whatever you have on hand. Just don't leave out the beef or stewed tomatoes. This ranges from awful to ambrosial depending upon the cook and the ingredients.
Fresh-caught trout for breakfast. Keep it simple, just butter, salt, and pepper in the skillet. Serve with fried potatoes and fried or scrambled eggs. You may remember it as the best meal of your life, but the trout must be just minutes from the stream..
Also, that link is bogus - no respect for Cincinnati chili?!? Heresy!
Even though I love Cincinnati chili I did laugh at their description - and placing it #52 after "being hit by a car" at #51 was too funny. Seriously, you either love Cincinnati chili or you hate it, and I do know many people who hate it, even Buckeyes.
We do love fried catfish and hushpuppies in Alabama! But..... a lot of our recipes (at least my family's) don't really require specific measurements. It's more of a "feel".
We like to use cornmeal seasoned with some salt, pepper, and just a small touch of onion and garlic powder. Bread the catfish with this and drop in the fryer until a nice golden brown. We are actually cooking this Sunday for an early Memorial Day celebration.
I don't even have to look. Vermont: maple syrup, and only real maple syrup. Although it isn't only made in Vermont anymore, Ben & Jerry's comes in second.
Key Lime Pie (yes, but the writer is an asshat, Cubans settled Tampa is the environment is very Cuban, see Ybor City).
Cuban Sandwich-OMG
Stone Claw Crabs
Fried Grouper
Really, it is regional. The Panhandle to about Tampa is still the deep south (Boiled Peanuts anyone?).
South Florida is more the Northeast.
