Local Foods
June 14, 2013 at 12:43 pm
I was getting off topic in another thread. So I thought we needed one for local foods.
What are your favorite local foods? Is there anything that you can only find where you live? Any crazy family recipes?
I'm in Mississippi. We have lots of "Southern" food.
Cornbread, okra, Lima beans, Black eyed peas, Chow chow.
My family has a recipe that noone knows where it came from. We have never found it anywhere but in the family. We call in Banana salad. Eggs, vinegar, sugar. Its a sauce. It is odd and amazing.
Please share your foodie favorites.

We have some of the best peaches in the world in Palisade, Colorado. The area is also becoming known for fantastic wines and vineyards. I'm not much of a wine guy myself, but I love me some peaches!

The only thing I am aware of being famous in my area are the oranges.
If I was back up north where I was born, it would be seafood.

I've been to New York, I've been to Chicago, I've been to Italy, but the best pizza I know of can be delivered right to my doorstep from a local join in my town. Fucking delicious stuff, it's run by a bunch of Indian Muslims who really know how to make some good fucking pizza.

Michigan isn't known for its food. We have the cherries from Traverse City, and that's about it.
