  • In this, episode 5 of “Cooking the States,” we’re getting GASSED UP on SoCal-style fish tacos. Though very popular in southern Californian cities like Los Angeles and San Diego, these fish tacos actually came from the Baja-California Peninsula.

    Some more Upper Peninsula of Michigan food options! Finnish food is very common there, so things like nisu, limppu, pannukakku, and korppu are common baked goods if you want something baked. Potato sausage and cudighi are also common, but the pasty (pass-tee) is by far the most popular. Maple syrup, thimbleberry jam, and chokeberry jelly are things you might be able to buy, but a lot of families either make it themselves or get it from friends. Fried fresh water fish (lake trout, splake, whitefish, smelt) is also super common and popular as fishing is a major pastime. Smoked whitefish dip is one of my favorites, too.

      The UP is where it's at. It's such a gorgeous part of the country and doesn't get the credit it deserves... but honestly it's maybe better that way for the people who do know how dope it is, lol.

      @@AdamWitt As a native Yooper, I certainly bristle at more tourism. But the fact is that the UP mostly exists on tourism money at this point, since so many people (myself included) and industries have moved away.
      An interesting side effect of the pandemic has been more people moving to places like Marquette to escape living in big cities for work when they are now full time telework. I can only hope they will put their money into the communities instead of chasing people out.

    I’m from WA and idk what our dish would be lol but I know it would involve seafood. Crab, salmon, clams, oysters… Manila clams in a simple white wine brothy/sauce with good bread is what makes me think of home the most.

    • @jenovapooh
      @jenovapooh 2 роки тому +2

      Fisher scones, salmon, geoduck, razor clams, teriyaki, Beecher's Mac n cheese, Rainier cherries, apples... Probably other stuff.
      Hard no on the Seattle dog, tho.

    South West style chili verde always makes me think of home. Particularly smothered over a breakfast burrito. It's the only thing I miss about Colorado. Big ass burrito drenched in green chili is the absolutely ultimate of hangover food.

    you are awesome, gringo. 😊😊😊 much respect to you. i love how you confess to have worked in a food truck. best discipline ever. am not from the north part of mexico, ahem! but have learned to appreciate how food is so different from one region of mexico to the next. so flour tortilla tacos it is. too, what is tempura? haha think of little shrimps being prepared as if yum carnitas? nonsense! pulverized shrimp! 😂 anyways, grandma gives you a pass on how you make "salsa." she used to make me toast those damn chiles... alive! man, that was torture -- yet the good kind. working on my adapted taco version. i wanted to know if it was garlic i missed. you don't use garlic. laughter was oh, so good though. gracias! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
