I think Hawaii eats the most Spam per capita.

Those silly Polynesians will eat anything. It probably helps the shelf life of SPAM is like a bazillion years. It’s the cockroach of canned goods.

You should cube some up cover it in a good bbq rub and smoke it. It’s almost as good as pork belly burnt ends

A couple of those are wrong and/or lazy. Biscuits with Chocolate gravy isn’t an Alabama thing, it’s a West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky thing. Ube isn’t really a Hawaii thing it’s a Filipino thing that has spread to Asian communities. Ube is only more common in Hawaii than Florida because there’s more Asians in Hawaii than Florida. Tomalley isn’t a thing people eat by itself, it’s the liver and pancreas of the lobster. You either eat it as part of the whole lobster or occasionally it’s an ingredient in a sidedish or sauce. Also, boiled peanuts is common from Virginia down to Florida and over to Texas.

Also sloppy joes aren’t a Delaware thing (arguably invented in Florida and the best iteration is still in Key West) nor is it weird as it’s a common school lunch menu item everywhere.

Slugburgers belong to Mississippi, not Alabama. Chocolate biscuits are also popular in parts of Mississippi.

Boiled peanuts are NOT weird. Boiled peanuts are proof that there is a God and he wants us to be happy.

A few more observations:

-Lutefisk is North Dakota, but most people know that as a Minnesota thing.

-I have had Florida’s weirdest food, at a Cajun bar in St. Louis.

-Butter burgers are not “weird”.

-Detroit Style Coney Dogs are called “Greek Chili Dogs” on the west side of Michigan and are delicious.

I think I’ve only ever eaten a walking taco at high school functions...fundraisers or concession stands.

I’ve never known an actual person to serve them to others or eat them at home. But I doubt I’d run in social circles with that type.

What is the Ohio thing?
 
Gator tail is delicious.

A walking taco seems like some Alabama type white trash stuff.

Well, shit. I’m Alabama type white trash then. They’re definitely better than gator tail.

No, as I said earlier, they’re not a home thing. They are a social/potluck food to feed lots of people.

You said it. I bet you wear jhorts also.

Your mom's considered a walking taco.

Funny I grew up in Iowa and had never heard of them until I went out of state. I only know them as Frito Pies. Green Street Meats (my go to barbecue place in Chicago's west loop) serves them. Haven't had one, but have seen plenty of people order them.

On a separate note, I have lived in Illinois for 25 years - what the f*ck is a gravy bread? Is that a downstate thing?
