  • The best dish from each state would be impossible to say. Determining favorite food in each state would be nearly as difficult. But we can say that 50 dishes featured in this episode of The List Show have strong fandoms in their respective states.
    Regional foods of the USA teach us something about history, culture, and deliciousness.
    In case you forgot, The List Show is a trivia-tastic, fact-filled show for curious people.

      Couldn’t have did apple cider donuts for North Carolina or New Hampshire as here in North Carolina(most notably in the mountains as far as I know) we also have apple cider donuts, my mom has some whenever we visit the mountains. Livermush probably should have been ‘it will be considered’ and shouldn’t have been picked in my opinion and I’m a North Carolinian myself. Born and raised in the Tar Heel State and never ate livermush and my mom finds it disgusting, pretty sure my dad does too. My whole family are North Carolina natives.

    As a Pennsylvania lover of Scrapple, I usually describe it like this: Do you remember those rumors you heard back in first grade about what actually goes into making hot dogs? Well, Scrapple is made of all the parts of the pig that were not good enough to be called "hot dog". I prefer it sliced and fried to the point where it is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, like a good French fry.

    Cedar plank salmon with raspberry and balsamic sauce. I am from the west coast of Canada and both cedar and salmon have spiritual significance to our indigenous people here. We soak the plank for a few hours then cook the salmon on a BBQ directly on the cedar plank. Just before it is finished cooking drizzle raspberries blended with balsamic vinegar and sugar over the top. It is delicious!!

    Turkey Scrapple - my family is from all over the Midwest. They make their Scrapple from turkey bones that still have meat on them. My grandmother would keep all of the Thanksgiving turkey bones, scraps & organ meat. The next morning, my aunts & my mother would rush to her house with their loaf pans to make the turkey scrapple. They would each take their share home. My grandmother always reminded them that it has to sit & blend in the refrigerator until Sunday morning. The Sunday after Thanksgiving was Scrapple day.
    I don’t think any of my generation follows this tradition. My parents offer me a bite every year, but did not push the matter because they didn’t want to waste the precious Scrapple on someone that didn’t love it. My mother always had a special breakfast ready for me in case I didn’t want Scrapple. At about age 7, I just got the special breakfast, like a piece of cake, with out being offered Scrapple. I know at least one of my aunts told her children they did not like Scrapple. Some of them tried when they were older & did like it.
    I never acquired the taste for it.

    Wait, you made a comment about lemon juice bringing out natural tartness for Pennsylvania’s dish… I have been drinking apple cider vinegar with lemon juice in my water every day for quite some time, and I just felt like so many foods were tasting so sour to me that it was almost unbearable to eat them. Particularly fruits. I thought something was wrong with my taste buds. I only recently took a short break from doing this because I was annoyed that I couldn’t find the organic apple cider vinegar on sale. Lol Is it possible that consuming that much water with (a generous amount of) apple cider vinegar and lemon juice could have messed up my sense of taste for a while? is this something you could do a video on?
