Kate, you don't have iced tea, you've got 'sweet tea'.

Well, I said "iced tea" for non-southerners sake. We just say sweet tea, but non-southerners think its hot tea if you don't specify.
Speaking of that, can you explain the food on your list? The first one is some sort of goat testicle or something right? You've actually eaten that?
All of that food is foreign to me.

Rocky Mountain Oysters are bull or buffalo testicles.

Krautburgers are burgers made from native Germans, cannibalism is legal in parts of Colorado.

Krautburgers are hamburgers with sauerkraut on them.

Ranch beans are cow flops made into a soup.

Ranch beans are pinto beans with some browned hamburger, onions, and keep on adding ingredients until you get the southwestern flavor you prefer.

I'm in Texas, so Tex-Mex naturally. And barbecue, specifically beef, as opposed to other regions where barbecue refers to pork. However, living in Dallas there's a hodge podge of other cuisines present. Lots of Vietnamese places up in the chunk of suburbia I live in, for example.

Hee hee Micheal you crack me up.
Ok the ranch beans don't sound too bad.
Testicles? I have a hard time believing ya'll actually eat those and enjoy them...must be some sort of rite of passage or something.
I haven't had sauerkraut since I was a kid and I dont remember being very fond of it then. Have not had it in about 20 years so I don't know. It might be tasty. It looks good on hot dogs but I don't know about burgers.

I have two vietnamese brothers so we had a lot of vietnamese food growing up. Could never bring myself to eat the duck eggs myself, though I watched Wook-Anh with fascination while he devoured them beaks, feet, feathers and all.

Sacramento -

Jik Jak Ice cream, http://www.publicearth.com/places/ice-c ... -ice-cream

Fresh produce (variety of wonderful stuff) year round, farmers markets every day of the week in the summer, winter it is usually Davis on Saturday and the W-X on Sunday.

Sacramento is Tomato country, if you like tomatoes they are usually featured somewhere.

Seems like every weekend we have one or more food festivals somewhere in the State. http://www.foodreference.com/html/calif ... ivals.html

The cornucopia of California rarely disappoints, its just knowing when and where to go.

Awesome stuff from my hometown:

Sprecher's root beer
Kopp's frozen custard
Usinger's brats / sausage

Last year my wife ordered these for me on my birthday and had them shipped down to Florida.

New Jersey:

Diner food of all sorts (I think we've perfected the diner)
New York and New Jersey have the best pizza in the country
Good bagels
Almost any ethnic foods you can imagine

I can't think of any particular food everyone else doesn't have, though. I'd be curious what people come up with honestly. Although there are many foods you may have that we don't, unless you know where to go.

Funny, i think I can get most of this food somewhere here in LA (even the Usinger's, I believe).

But, regional cuisine particular to Southern California? I don't know that we have anything like that, come to think of it. Just lots of good food that we have made our own or put particular spin on:

Chicken and Waffles? Check - Roscoe's, an institution in Southern California.

Korean-Mexican fusion tacos? Yup, got those.

The original French dip? Maybe that's as close as we can get to something regional, although there's nothing special about the ingredients that makes you think "Los Angeles."

Huh, interesting question, never really thought about it from that angle. Was too busy eating.

Ok, one, why would you put beef on your boobies, and two, why in the heck would you eat it afterwards? Or does someone else eat it?
Is this some kind of weird regional food ritual? Where do you live, woman!!

Lol it's a bizarre Upper Penninsula Michigan tradition women here use to lure a man in..with the combo of beef and boobies, no man can resist me!

Clothing versus food, regional and cultural differences, note the Las Vegas and Whoville versions of Pasties.

NSFW Pastie for Mus -

SFW Pasty for Kirra -

Truly, I'm surprised that LadyKate was unfamiliar with the Cornish food item.

Mus, Turducken is not culinary prowess, it is culinary endurance and insanity.

Not that there is anything wrong with shoving a bird up another birds rear, then doing it again to a third bird. Its just a little kinkier than I like my Thanksgiving dinner.

I share your love for Beef Pasties. Haven't had one in years. Used to get Myles' Teddy Wedgers in Madison. Man, those were the best. Of course, in looking it up, I now find that the owner and founder, Miles Allen, just died back in December. Wasn't that old, either, only 64.
