Hay2baleFavorite Foods from Your home State
I grew up on the Chesapeake Bay, which contains a lot of tasty food. I put myself through college on the GI bill and sloughing soft crabs.
-"Bug on a Bun", a soft crab sandwich, preferably with a couple slices on Smithfield bacon and Po Boy sauce.
-Baked Rockfish fillet.
-Crab cake, made with claw meat and crackers.
-Crab bisque.
-Roasted oysters
-Fried oysters
Then down the Ocean we get..
-BBQ shrimp wrapped in bacon
-BBQ scallops wrapped in bacon, see Smithfield Station in Smithfield, VA.
-Stone crab claws
And some good hush puppies and corn on the cob...

doublesharpSouthern Indiana is famous for hardshell cantaloupes and Jackson County watermelons, with good reason.
And I've never had homegrown tomatoes any better than the ones I grow.
Born in southern Kentucky and many claim Kentucky produces the finest salt cured country hams in the world.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Del's Lemonade! (only the original flavor though).
And who can resist the deliciousness of a
Coffee Awful Awful!! (from Newport Creamery).
When I occasionally return to RI I make a point of ALWAYS hitting
Del’s Lemonade in Wakefield, (actually EVERY Del's stand I see) and
Champlin’s Seafood in Narragansett. Champlin’s has the BEST
LobstAH Rolls!! In fact, Champlin’s ROCKS for all of your fresh, local seafood needs – especially if you have to wait for the Block Island ferry.
Lots of folks like
Clam ChowdaH. Personally, I’m not a fan.
And since I usually try to avoid hi carb foods,
Clam Cakes aren’t really on my list of acceptable foods, but one of these days I hope to get Rotndad up there so he can sample the merchandise. He’s a native Floridian who loves Hush Puppies, so I’m thinking he’ll LOVE Clam Cakes. Hope so!
A hearty
Thank You to the OP for starting this yummy trek down MMMmmemory lane.
*** Oh and I forgot to mention that IIRC, you can actually get a Lobster Roll at the McDonalds in Wakefield. AND it's
GOOD !
Not sure they still sell them there, but they did at one point.
You forgot New York System Hot Weiners, which have nothing to do with New York. These are 3 inch dogs with finely ground chili sauce, mustard, onions and relish. Three of them at a time is the standard order.

PASigHere's another good one from my state of PA:
Shoofly Pie!
I love the "wet bottom" version of this (as pictured), the "dry bottom" is more like a cake.
For those unfamiliar with it:
quote:
Shoofly pie is a molasses crumb cake baked in a pie crust. The primary ingredients of the filling are molasses, flour, brown sugar, egg, and water. The addition of a pie crust makes it easier for people to hold a piece in the hand while eating it.
It comes in two different versions: wet-bottom and dry-bottom. The dry-bottom version is baked until fully set and results in a more cake-like consistency throughout. The wet-bottom version is set like cake at the top where it was mixed in with the crumbs, but the very bottom is a stickier, gooier custard-like consistency.

TRIODidn't the "Wet bottom shoe fly pie" originate from Quakertown, PA?
My family moved a lot when I was very young. Many of the foods mentioned from the east coast brought back a lot of memories.
Since PASig mentioned cheese steaks, I'm partial towards the "Lehigh Valley version". A good roll, like Amoroso, with provolone cheese, thin sliced rib eye, marinara sauce, grilled onions, and dill pickle chips.
One time, I stopped at a place near Philly that called this an "Italian Style" that didn't have the pickles, but added pepperoni slices. Wow, very good!
