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.
WTF?! You eat chows?

If I were the mayor I'd kick your ass out. Run, don't walk, to the Prado restaurant in Balboa park. For lunch (they're not served for supper) order the damned fish tacos. If you do not love these see your doctor.

Word! You beat me to it. I remember being so disappointed eating lobster at a picnic on some granite right next door to the lobsterman that caught it on Deer Isle, Maine. Admittedly, you can eat almost anything dipped in butter but the texture! Mealy and rubbery. My advice is to grind them up and feed them to dungeness crabs.
