Every time I hear down here that Yankee's can't cook I think back to spiedies and shake my head. We can so cook! XD
Yeah, tell them about Salt Potatoes, Beef on Weck, Chicken Riggies, Half Moons, Hoffman and Zweigles Hot Dogs and much more........There are plenty of unique foods that come out of NY that many people outside of the state don't even know about.

Oooooh salt potatoes! How I long for thee. I also miss all of the specialty breads and the varieties of squash.
Even in the way of "southern" foods, my mother always made home-made grits. And her family is practically Canadian!
I was wondering about local cuisine! Here in RI we have clam cakes and chowder (white...not manhattan or red, though you CAN buy that as well) and hot weiners as well as all manner of seafood (being the ocean state and all). I believe that RI hot weiners are a bit different from NY System weiners...but not sure.
Before we leave, we are going to make an extra effort to hit up Iggy's Doughboy shack for some clam cakes and chowder and Weinie Genie for some, well...Weinies...lol. There's quite a bit of culturally diverse cuisine in RI, especially Providence, and I will miss that. But c'est la vie...such is the cost of leaving behind unaffordable housing.
Hehe...it's funny to hear New Yorker's refer to themselves as "yankees." We consider that title to consist exclusively of those that reside in strictly New England states, and at that...more specifically, we consider the title most appropriate for those from MA, CT, and RI.

If you ever live down south you will learn quickly that all northerners are " Yankees".
Heck, according to people on the gulf even Tennesseans are Yankees.

That's akin to the perennial "who's upstate" debate in NY.
I saw that debate. LOL, we have friends in Rochester, Buffalo, etc. I've always considered those specific cities to be upstate.
Believe it or not, we actually have a similar debate here in RI. What part of RI is "northern" and what part is "southern." Having grown up in the southern part, those of us from the southern part have a very specific landmark, past which the rest of RI was "northern." Which is silly because that landmark was so far south that half of what was north of it was really still "southern."
