Kool-Aid pickles I can see, maybe. It's basically artificially flavoured and coloured bread & butter pickles. The peppermint stick in the pickles, though, no.
Newfoundland has some weird stuff compared to the rest of Canada. Cod cheeks (which are delicious), seal paw, and of course the roasted chicken flavoured potato chips. They taste like bouillon powder.
At least, I've never seen them anywhere else here. And with good reason.
This sound delicious. You wouldn't want to eat it very often, though.

In the rural upper-Midwest casseroles are popular, with the alpha-casserole being tater tot hotdish. Basic recipe is green beans, ground beef, a can of cream of mushroom soup, and tater tots on top.
Shit basically turns to cement in your guts, exactly what the blue collar working man needs after a day in below zero weather. Nasty.

I find them much easier to eat without getting stuff in my beard (particularly either side of my mouth) compared to a square sandwich, the hole plays a part in that.
The way they're made means the texture, inside and of the crust, is great too - especially if you lightly toast them as well.
Isn't it sweet and sickly as hell though?

I have family in Jersey. The bagel sandwiches are pretty much the only thing I like about New Jersey.
America's worst regional food.
What's wrong with cheese with a side of spaghetti bolognese?

From Wikipedia:
"Chicken and waffles refers to either of two American dishes - one from soul food, the other Pennsylvania Dutch - that combine chicken with waffles. It is served in certain specialty restaurants in the United States."
"Pennsylvania Dutch version
The traditional Pennsylvania Dutch version consists of a plain waffle with pulled, stewed chicken on top, covered in gravy.[2] It is generally found in the Northeastern United States."
But all the sauce in a bagel sandwich will just come out of the hole in the top/bottom.
Proper bread bun supremacy
I've been told it's an acquired taste. I've also been told the word "chili" is a misnomer, as it takes the form of some other dish rather than what people think of as traditional chili.
Despite living here, I do not partake myself. I'll stick to the ice cream and pizza.
Ignoring the fact that it's chili, spaghetti with cheddar is also a crime against humanity.
wtf, there's TWO????
If you say chicken and waffles, everyone assumes the soul food kind.

It's in a lot of Asian countries, Korea and Thailand use Hotdogs in a ton of meals too. It goes back to rations and having to make do with processed food given out by the army.
Indonesians like to slice hotdogs in fried noodles, too.

Yeah, I thought there was only one kind as well. The Pennsylvania Dutch version doesn't sound nearly as good either.
because no one eats that outside of hicktown PA
I dunno man, I make it fit the bagel. If you slather it, sure, but you put your meat and stuff in, with a circle of sauce matching the bread. Like I said, toast it too and the crust is a bit firmer, it's always held together for me. Never had a problem and my beard and lap have survived every time.

Throwing my word on this; it's almost guarenteed to be one city I ain't never been to.
I didn't even know there was a soul food version. But I also live in PA so perhaps I'm the minority here.

But they're fucking delicious. Carne Asada Fries are the alpha and omega of this thread
i did something similar but with cheese ruffles. also put chili in it. my local 7/11 used to let me do it until a new guy started working there and he put a stop to it. i think i payed like 2 dollars extra.There's a few local stores where you can ask for Hot Cheetos with Nacho Cheese. Very popular here in the Southwest. Anywhere else?
LIES.
I was very perplexed when I first encountered Cincinnati Chili. THAT'S NOT CHILI. Don't care though. Love it anyways
Because it also means a bundle of wood and IIRC people were burnt on said bundles.
I hope i'm on the right track here.
Edit: Turns out the burning stuff may not actually be true, but there are plenty of other unpleasant potential etymologies for its offensive use.
And they absolutely are delicious, my mum used to do them.
you're indeed correct sir!
I fucking love scrapple. We could actually get it at our grocery store in Los Angeles.
Scrapple is like my favorite thing
I never ate it with syrup though, I usually use ketchup
Noice.
I'll chuck in saveloy (and chips), even better battered.
Traditionally made from brains, now the finest of mystery-meats (supposedly pork...for the most part).

Fluffernutter is pretty good, except you'll probably get diabetes from it. I don't know if I'd put bacon in it though. It's quite good on whole wheat toast.

Let's get the weird asian ones started in here:
Philippine street foods
Grilled chicken heads, cubed pork blood, chicken intestines, pork intestines and chicken feet.
fried day old chicks. These are the rejected male chicks.
Kwek kweks, which are my favorite. These are simply deep fried hardboiled eggs. Served with vinegar garlic sauce.
And of course, perennial Fear Factor celebrity, the mighty balut.****gags****

This stuff is really good. I don't live there anymore, but my brother still lives in Cincinnati and he brings me some from time to time when he visits.
