Disco Infiva posted:Is there something other than corn in Iowa? Pork. Other farm stuff. Iowa doesn't have an official state food and that map is associated with a list of recipes, so they probably picked sweet corn because they needed a vegetable and couldn't think of anything else for Iowa. I don't know why they indicated it as grilled, though, because traditionally it's boiled and covered with butter and salt. It's also kind of hard to explain how good it is because in most of the country it's been frozen and shipped a thousand miles, whereas during the season you buy it directly from farmers so it's as fresh as possible. It makes a huge difference in how it tastes. If Iowa had an official food in the context of something iconic that was actually invented in the state it would probably be the "walking taco" which is a repulsive Iowa State Fair food that consists of one of those small doritos bags crushed up and then filled with ground beef, lettuce, and shredded cheese. Like a taco, see, except you eat it with a plastic spoon while you're walking around the fair!

It's at every drat sporting event here and it makes no sense. Especially since tacos worked perfectly fine for walking without adding a bag of Doritos and a utensil to the mix. Though if we're going to be picking something from the fair, I feel it should involve fried. How about fried butter?

Frostwerks posted:What is the second biggest cities on the shores of the GoSL? Cuz I thought Montreal was second largest city? That map doesn't even shade Montréal, but it also shows Québec city and the entire province as unpopulated, which is pretty stupid since the whole southern part is densely-peopled by canadian standards. There's a huge red blob in the prairies but nothing in Québec.

Are the high levels of penetration in the western provinces a function of low population or greater need to connect to costal urban China?

For (eg) Qinghai vs Tibet geography would obviously play a factor in why one is higher and one is lower. I think for coastal China it's just that that's where the money is and the population density is. Those three darkish green provinces (Guandong, Fujian, and Zhejiang) in the 2012 one have 200 million people and ~500/sq km (which is roughly the density of South Korea).

Fujian isn't terribly heavily populated (..in China terms), the provinces down the Yangtze I thought have considerably more? It's just that nobody cares about inland hicks.

The pizza may be correct for Connecticut but white clam definitely isn't the most popular around New Haven, it's just unique and relatively popular. Most people are going for more stereotypical toppings though.

Yeah, I mean more that it's between two densely populated (and rich) areas and Xiamen is still fairly wealthy so there's large incentive to build up infrastructure there.

Here's another state food map (you have to check the article for the actual labels). http://deadspin.com/the-great-american-menu-foods-of-the-states-ranked-an-1349137024 There some clear factual errors in it though, such as "listing deep dish pizza as #1 when it's just a cludgy tomato casserole"

Everyone sees Washington and goes "Seafood!" and very few people here give a poo poo about seafood. We do however produce most of the U.S.'s watermelons and a good number of the apples for markets west of the Rockies. But noooo, fish, poo poo, even just going by the area west of the Cascade Range, our local dish should be Teriyaki or Pho or something we actually eat regularly.

To be fair, Washington is one of the few places (maybe the only place? idk) in the country you can eat salmon and have it be good more often than not. My bad relatives from further east always refuse to even try grilled salmon when they visit here, because the food they know as "salmon" is this disgusting stuff that's been dead and frozen for way too long then cooked like a steak or something. If you eat it fresh and don't overcook it (don't overcook it) salmon is amazing. Actually, I guess this just makes me one of the few people who give a poo poo about seafood that you were referring to. Never mind, carry on. I don't think we're allowed to claim Teriyaki or Pho as Washingtonian culture, unfortunately. Ditocoaf fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Sep 22, 2014 |

I've tried like three different area grocery stores. Maybe I need to set foot in an honest-to-god bakery for the first time in my life.

Hotdogs are the American kind (but they seem to be associated with Denmark and IKEA, not the USA). I'm not entirely sure what exactly differentiates them, but apparently it's baffling that someone would compare a sausage in a bun with another sausage in a bun.
