I mean our odd historic traditional local festivals are no different to your thanks giving! How do you think the rest of the world feels about you guys eating pumpkin pie? It's considered disgusting and ineadible in Europe and as for that sweet potato bullshit with marshmallow I'd rather eat stargazy pie (not that I ever have because I'm not local to that region) 😂

[@emilygilbeyful]

@Kry Kry fuck no. Pumpkin isnt eadible!!! It's not food anywhere else in the world it's disgusting and disposed all across europe. We literally don't understand how you can eat it? It beggars belief! We grow it for a laugh at Halloween but throw it away after Halloween

I would definitely try that fish pie. I lived in Rochester for almost a year. The garbage plate was very popular for late night drunk food. I was told that the original intent was an affordable meal for transients riding the rails and looking for work back in the 1930's. Fried maple leaves don't seem that weird to me. Haggis is good. End of story. If you like the flavor of a beef and barley soup, you will like Haggis. I've only had tamales in Denver and Los Angeles, so I don't really know what Southern tamales are like. Overall, tamales are a perfect food. Denver tamales are my favorite with the smoked green chiles. They're very spicy.

Her finger has batter on it and it was only in for a very short time so it wouldn't have been long enough to effectively cause any harm; plus she's probably done that for years so has less sensation in those fingers

As a Rochesterian, I was a little offended when the interviewer interrupted the guy talking about how the plate came to be. He was talking about how his relative fed hundreds, even thousands of hungry people with this staple.
