That lobster roll you used for Maine is actually a Connecticut lobster roll. The Maine lobster roll is the cold lobster roll, made with mayonnaise. The hot lobster roll with melted butter is Connecticut.

[@kristinlanders1481]

They messed up a few things here. They allowed Arkansas to claim chocolate gravy and biscuits and that is an original Tennessee breakfast that likely started because of the Spanish trade in the Appalachian mountains. Also I disagree with some of the stuff they allowed to be voted so high and then some of the stuff they voted so low.

Agree - the warm, buttered lobster roll is a Connecticut thing. Go to Lobster Landing in Clinton for a good one. Why did they choose the bland, plain apizza (“ah-beetz”) for Connecticut? Ugh, my dad orders that all the time and rants about why pizza is better without mozzarella. It isn’t, it’s just bland. People not from Connecticut, I promise you that in New Haven, you can get apizza with mozzarella and the traditional toppings, too. And it’s good - way better than the bland kind. My favorite is Modern Apizza on State Street.

I really like this video as a non American. Many people say that the USA doesn't have a culture or a cuisine, but being a "foodie" myself, I wanted to believe differently and you have proved it to me. I have a new goal in this country, try as many of these dishes as I can, and talk about American food as a thing ☺️ Food is a great gateway to appreciate culture, and you have made me appreciate this country a bit more.

[@LunaAnn-dm3zh]

I applaud your ability to open your eyes to it, many assume we somehow have adopted no culture, when in fact we have mixes of several different ones in every state that mesh into its own breed of culture. People refuse to see it because we’re Americans.

Anyone who says this is incredibly ignorant. American culture is a huge conglomeration of cultures; did culture just die somewhere along the line?

[@patrickmcdaniel2048]

As a Mississippian, I'm curious to know how you breaded the catfish. The dark color suggests you put it in an egg wash while breading, which is not necessarily a common method. Also, you cut it on a vertical plane. We usually cut it horizontal. Cutting it vertical makes it look like catfish nuggets, which has a layer of fat on the bottom. A lot of people here will complain if you cut it that way.

As an Oregonian I was wondering what Oregon was going to be. As soon as he said "Marionberry Pie" I felt stupid for not knowing that was going to be the choice....... Then they proceed to eat it wrong. A Marionberry Pie should have a big dollop of whip cream on it if severed cold, but the best way is sever it hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I don't know many people who just eat it plain unless that is the only option. Also, the only person I know that would choose Blueberries over a Marionberry is my mother. If Marionberry isn't your style here than go with a regular Blackberry or Mixed berry. Strawberry rhubarb is also very popular.

[@awsomnessnoveiws]

But then you'd be adding things that aren't actually part of the dish. And I get that blueberries aren't similar to marionberries, but he was more-so saying there wasn't anything particularly more special about it rather than a average blueberry pie.

I'm from Louisiana adjacent, Mississippi, so I have to say something. Gumbo made with the right spicing and ingredients isnt like anything else on the planet. File powder (sassafras leaf), okra, brick rue or darker, the caribbean, african, french influence. It incorporates a lot of flavors from all over the place. Locally its made rustic with whole chicken thighs (skin on), and Andouille sausage. The reason you keep land to land and sea to sea is because of the stock is different for each one. The land uses chicken stock made usually from scratch from the bird you cut up for the gumbo and the sea version uses a shrimp stock that utilizes the shrimp peels from fresh shrimp.

[@billyscuba2763]

I'm not from but live in Louisiana and have been here for a third of my life now. I've always been told that the mixing of land and sea in gumbo is a huge no no in authentic Gumbo. I've had mixed versions that are really delicious, but they're not "traditional" (at least in the way I've had people tell me to make it) and if this video is supposed to try and get the dish as close as possible to the regional one, then mixing was a mistake IMO.

[@sinepari9160]

As someone from the PNW (live in Washington but on the line for Oregon!) Your Washington rating was great.... Although for the Oregon Marion berry, unless you had fresh berry overnighted and cooked, it just right. It won't turn out. There is also a right season for them, just like all fruit and vegetables. I love them in a shake myself more than a pie. Also topped over french toast or waffles (and I don't like waffles). Please give them another try while in our state. P.s. yes, Oregon State University (The Oregon Beavers football team) created them in 1956.

Which tastes like almost nothing. Like all lobster. But we pay, like, 10CAD/lb max. I regularly see it for 40USD/lb in Maine, etc. Side story - When my grandfather was growing up in Newfoundland his family has to bury their lobster shells in the back yard, because if anyone saw the shells in their trash, they'd be denigrated as the poorest of the poor. Similarly: there are still laws on the books in the US that give a strict limit for how many lobster meals you're allowed to feed a prisoner each week. Lesson: lobster is only fancy because you've been taught it is by marketers who have only existed since canning+railways.

I've lived in New Hampshire most of my life, apple cider donuts are just something you get at a crappy fair and you get it all over New England. We have a good lobster roll but ours has mayo, also it's basically the home of the chicken tender as well as coconut tenders. But the difference with hours tenders, they get soaked in pineapple juice for 2 days and then they get battered dipped battered again and then fried and they are the best chicken tender you'll ever eat. Places like the back room and Charlie's and Southern New Hampshire have mastered this. They are busy all day long selling buckets by the pound! Of chicken tenders. So I would say the original handbreaded chicken tender with a homemade marmalade or homemade duck sauce which is extremely popular here. If you wanted to go with game meat, we have a thing called moose festival where there's moose meatballs and moose sandwiches and all kinds of crazy stuff as well so the fact that people were voting for apple cider donuts means they probably moved up here from Massachusetts or they're a teenager.
