I think on a real small scale regional level.....the only thing I can really think of that I had never seen anywhere else is a traditional WI Fish Boil.
I've never had it.....looks bland and I don't trust people to be throwing gasoline or whatever the hell it is around something I'm about to eat in 2 minutes. But they are popular and our Yacht Club is hosting one soon. So I'll go check it out......and then go for a burger instead. Failed To Load Title |

Sweden is well known for its many culinary highlights. I'm sure all of you have heard about our famous Surströmming, but here are a few other delicacies.
Kebab pizza, the perfect food to cure your hangover. Gravlax, a delicacy I eat as often a possible. Jansson's frestelse, a classic for Christmas. |

outside of Rocky Mountain Oysters I can only think of Beau Jo's Pizza and Mountain Pies they also have "The Challenge" you and one other, have 1 hour to eat a 20? diameter pizza that is very massive – The depth of this pizza is over 3? tall – It is stuffed with meats, cheese, and vegetables – It weighs in at around 14 pounds total Prizes – Free Meal (if you eat the whole thing in the time allowed) – Free T-shirts – Pictures on Wall of Fame – $100 cash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBZ_wwH1Ptk View Quote |

I vote for Detroit style pizza. Delicious. Even made it at home.

Yeah, we like smoked mullet, conch fritters, and eating people's faces down here.

It was only some time later that day she discovered it was just marinated chunks of meat cooked on the grill. |

In the Chicago area, there's this thing called "pizza". I've had it in some other areas, on some sort of pathetic thin flatbread with just a faint dusting of cheese. I think those people may have had pizza described to them by telephone, but may have never actually seen one. On a more serious note - fried brain sandwiches are actually a thing in southern IN. I haven't tried, and don't plan to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYnL_nN7-tc View Quote Attached File |

Lutefisk would fall under the food oddity category. Some people like it for some reason.

Alabama white BBQ sauce is all I can think of. Pretty good on smoked chicken.

I currently live in Houston. There is nothing that everyone in the country hasn't heard of already but I guess the most obvious would be fajita. Here in the little taquerias of H-town fajita means skirt steak though and you can get it made a myriad of ways.
I used to enjoy a giant fajita quesadilla when drunk/hung over. I originally come from a Czech area and in Czech areas you have sausage rolls (kolbasnsik) and kolaches, which some folks think are sausage rolls but are a pastry more like a danish.

Just realized, there is something unique to Houston that other folks may not have heard of and we are now in the season for it. Houston has one of the largest Vietnamese populations in the US and they have taken a shine to Cajun/Creole food. This time of the year there are Vietnamese crawfish boils going on. They use a lot of the same spices are Cajuns but add things like basil, lemongrass, a shit load of garlic, and limes instead of lemons. It may be available in other areas of the US now but it started here.

I'm close to Reno. So it's Basque Food.
You sit family style, you get a big ass salad (lettuce tomatoes, etc but also potatoes), big ass bowl of soup w chorizo in it, an appetizer(chorizo, calf brains, paella, pigs feet, etc.), platter of french fries and an entree that's either NY steaks, lamb chops, tongue, oxtail stew, pork cutlet, roast chicken and ice cream or hard cheese for dessert. Sometimes flan or bread pudding. |

NYC, so I've had tons of weird shit... Balut of course is up there, and the Asians get a lil nuts, but really the weirdest meal off the top of my head was beef bone marrow app and a kangaroo burger entree at some fake fancy place uptown. Weird. View Quote It was not nearly as good as I remembered, and I won't be buying another one. |

There is an Ethiopian restaurant near here, as well as a Peruvian restaurant.
So far I have managed to resist both of them. |

Crawdads, mudbugs, bass bait or what ever you want to call them.
To me that's the strangest thing in the world to eat not mention just plain nasty. |

Slugburgers, basically a hamburger that the meat mixture is cut with soybean grits. It's a depression Era food that hung on till today. About a 50 mile circle in Northeast mississippi is the only place you'll find them.

I envy you guys that have neat regional food.
Here in Northern Virginia, dining out means driving to a strip mall featuring Outback, Logan's Steakhouse, or Red Robin, etc. |
