Baked Beans on Potato Chips

[wdfifteen]

A delicacy from the south of Ohio. Pinto beans steeped in brown sugar and bacon delicately resting on a chip of fried potato. Exquisite.

What are some regional favorites from your neck of the woods?

Is that a deep fried potato(e) slice or a regular potato chip? Yummy.

Pav, I did not realize you were from Wisconsin. What part are you from?

Hmm, never had or heard of this, but sweet and salty and crunchy, sure, it could be good, but seems like a PITA

You know, I have no idea what is a regional favorite that might seem weird in other regions, but then I think that may be because I've lived many different places throughout my life. Not to mention, mom was from the Florida and dad was from Ohio, so I grew up eating all sorts of stuff.

How about boiled peanuts? Used to see those in FL a lot. Very tasty. Crawfish. Tex-Mex food.

I've never had the fried curds, but I'm sure it's tasty. Dad used to make smelts from time to time. Yummy.

I'd prefer that with a little ball of sticky rice underneath.

My mother was raised on a farm in the mid west. As a kid, she would sometimes buy a hog's head cut in half. She would remove the brain to make brains & scrambled eggs for my dad. I never ate it. She would boil the head, strip the meat off, cut the tongue, lips and snout off & dice them up. With the meat, she would make mince meat pie, From the broth would come corn meal mush with the diced tongue, lips, & snout mixed in. I loved that sliced & fried for breakfast with syrup on it.

I'm an import. Have lived and worked in Medford for the last 15 years. I'm a So. Dak. native...would have posted a pic of some lefse with butter and sugar had I been true to my roots! My brother lives in Eagan, MN so if I get over to see them anytime soon, I'll try to remember to drop you a line!

Softshell crab (blue).

you cut the face and apron off, clean the inside and fry it up. very delicate flavor best prepared with very light breading and served on a slice of soft white bread (no 'buns').




and of course steamed hard is one of the all time great meals on this planet.

I think some of you guys need to go over to the "Are Americans getting a healthier diet" thread, most of these concoctions sound like gut busters to me.

Fresh Dungeness Crab...

Best way to eat it is fresh caught and cooked on the beach. In front of a campfire surrounded with friends and a nice choice of microbrews...

I really like aioli on french fries. But that's not a South Carolina thing... it's something I picked up while traveling.

Regional favorites around here? How about shrimp and grits.

South Sea Island Delight...Boiled White Man Stew..

Of course the Islanders during WW2 acquired a taste for Asiatic cuisine which they called, Boiled Nip Stew. but since the end of the war they just can't catch them anymore.
