Doesn't play well with others
What regional dishes are popular where you live, or have lived.
Some conversations in the What's for dinner thread got me thinking.
Presently I live West of St. Louis and have discovered a few dishes here, that I hadn't encountered before.
Here's a few:
Toasted Ravioli- Beef Ravioli that's dipped in an Egg wash, rolled in Italian bread crumbs and deep fried.
It's served with Marinara for dipping and is generally eaten as an appetizer.
Provel Cheese- a blend of Provelone, white Cheddar and Swiss cheeses. It's generally used on Pizza and in
Salads. It's used exclusively in St. Louis style Pizza (extremely thin and crispy crust and cut
into squares, instead of Pie shaped slices).
Gooey Butter cake- not really a cake. Closer to a butter flavored sweet brownie. I'm not sure how it's made.
It's too rich for my taste and I don't care for it but it's very popular around St. Louis.
I've also been to local BBQ's where smoked sausage and thinly sliced Pork steaks were cooked on the grill, then dumped in a big roaster full of a locally produced and cheap BBQ sauce called Maulls and beer, then the roaster is put back on the grill to simmer, till the meat falls apart. I don't use this method but it's pretty popular in the St. Louis area.
So...........what regional dishes and cooking methods do you guys have, that others have probably never heard of?
