A town I used to live in had a Thai restaurant that bought and moved into an old donut shop. The donut equipment (fryers, other stuff?) was left there by the previous tenant and they decided to just keep it so now the place is a combination Thai restaurant/donut shop. Could be the only one like it?

neato burrito posted:San Antonians love barbacoa tacos and Big Red. For breakfast. Yes, we are a very fat city.  It's a taco where the shell is made by deep frying fresh masa dough directly instead of using masa harina and grilling it into a tortilla first. It makes a flakey outside and a soft inside.

seeing praise for Scrapple on the last page makes me want to finally buy and try it. weird how kids get exposed to one type of ground/canned mystery meat and then shun all others. in my case its spam, spam is good, also only hormmel brand spam. also only og or reduced salt. dont even know why they make other flavors of spam exist.

Professor Wayne posted:I've traveled a lot for work and really enjoy trying out different regional foods across the US. One of my favorite ones to tell people about is West Virginia's pepperoni rolls. I was at a bar in Lewisburg, and the bartender told me I had to try them. I thought it sounded great. What's not to love about bread and pepperoni? Turns out that bread and pepperoni isn't exactly a killer combo on their own. They were so dry, that I was convinced that they're a scam for bars to get you to drink more beer. Any kind of dipping sauce and maybe some cheese would have saved them. The picture below also looks way fancier than the ones I got. I'm sorry you got a lovely old pepperoni roll. Good pepperoni rolls are made with STICK pepperoni, NOT sliced and are so good when soft and fresh. excellent for fueling a hungry coal miner!

I think the Dutch balkenbrij is somewhat similar to scrapple  We usually eat it fried on bread for breakfast, or with fried onion and apple for dinner. It's made of undesirable cuts of pig meat, fat, blood and organs, mixed with buckwheat flour and a mix of spices, which apparenly is "rommelkruid, consisting of liquorice, sugar, anise, cinnamon, clove, white pepper, mace, ginger powder and sandalwood". It's very delicious.

The South Street Taco- South Street in Philadelphia could be a tourist shithole like Bourbon Street but since people own $700k houses a block away it's consistently blocked from attaining its final form. There is a pizza place called Lorenzo's that is open until 4am-ish on the weekends that only sells plain slices that are huge and a steak place up the street called Jim's that sold cheesesteaks until 4 am-ish on the weekends (it recently caught fire so wait a bit or hit Geno's/Pat's on the way in). SO people who hate their arteries got in the habit of taking the innards of a Jim's steak and putting it on their Lornzo's slice and folding it over into a taco-like form. It's got to max out at 2k calories.pro starcraft loser posted:But if I ever have a choice for a meat with a breakfast platter, it's 100% always going to be scrapple. Just a hunk in the frying pan until crispy. If you ever get a chance, hit up an Amish butcher in the Reading Terminal Market. The Scrapple they have is next level.

Secks Cauldron posted:Malort. It's an extremely bitter and horrible-tasting liquor. People describe the flavor as similar to eating something really terrible that's been mixed with gasoline. I have not tried it but my brother confirms that it's terrible. My buddy lived in Chicago for a few years and he brought some of that stuff back. Truly vile. Reminds me of rotten grapefruit and burning rubber.

Cornell University has a huge agriculture program where, among other things, they experiment with different hybrids. Late at night, if you listen closely, you can hear the screams of apricots coming from the laboratory up on the hill. Sometimes they sell the results at farmers' markets, so you'll see totally unique one-time-only varieties with names like "Apples: Cornell #18269-B".

I'm currently in Montana where all wildlife can be found in sausage/jerky form. The local groceries always have kits for it in stock. I've had deer, bison, and pheasant sausages, but I like elk the best. It's got a stronger flavor than beef, but not at all gamey. We also have delicious prehistoric river fish:  Much like other game, there's no special recipes for paddlefish. Montana recipes go pretty rustic, so you just grill up your weird meat or cure it. This place does have the best, hottest horseradish I've ever had, though.

Here in Skåne, Sweden we make a spit cake called spettekaka — or spiddekaga in the Scanian dialect. You'll be shocked to know that spiddekaga translates directly to spit cake. The spiddekaga itself is about as imaginative as its name:  Eggs, sugar and potato starch is mixed. The batter is then poured onto a roasting spit, sometimes in fancy patterns. The finishing grace usually consists of even more sugar in the form of frosting. What does a spiddekaga taste like? Eggs and sugar. What's the texture like? So dry that only Ben Shapiro could eat a slice without faltering. It's also very brittle and you'll typically use a hacksaw to cut pieces to preserve the unholy structure. You can make them very big if you want to:  But such extravagance is especially wasteful in the case of the spiddekaga; the signature dryness means that once the cake's out of the plastic bag (which you can use to asphyxiate yourself) it'll desperately absorb moisture and become a soggy mess.  No-one eats spiddekaga any more. Yet for some reason we have two operating spiddekaga bakeries here in Malmö, a city with a population consisting of young people from other regions and immigrants, so the spiddekaga bakeries make even less sense. I can only assume that these places are fronts for drug operations.

In Syracuse we have salt potatoes, which are little potatoes that are boiled in highly salted water. They are served with butter. We also have the New York State Fair and you can get these chicken sandwiches that are called Spiedies. They put these marinated chicken breast pieces on skewers and grill them and put them on bread.

Irish soft drinks company named after a US state... it isn't. It's named after the river that flows through the town where the company is situated. Maine is anglicised from Abhainn Mhaighin, "river of the plain". Or simply 'An Mhean'.

A couple of sandwiches are very specific to the north shore of Massachusetts. The first is a steak bomb, which is what a cheesesteak wishes it could be. It consists of shaved steak, provolone, peppers&onions, salami, and sometimes mushrooms, all on a sub roll. The second is the “famous roast beef”. There are dozens of places on the north shore called “{name} Famous roast beef”. It’s important to note that it is not the place that is famous, it is the name of the sandwich. A famous roast beef is rare roast beef, cut very thinly and put on a roll. The most common version is called the three-way, which consists of American cheese (always on the bottom), mayonnaise, and James River barbecue sauce. The James River sauce cannot be substituted for any other brand. The sandwich comes in three sizes: Junior, on a hamburger bun; Regular, on a sesame bun; and super, on an onion roll. The other north shore sandwich, the chop Suey sandwich, has essentially become retired. Salem Lowe, the place that invented it, closed down for good a few weeks ago. You might be able to get one at Salisbury Beach, but I wouldn’t quote me on that
