When I lived in Hawai'i it was the Plate Lunch, a couple scoops of white rice, a scoop of macaroni salad, and the protein, usually a teriyaki chicken or beef or chicken katsu or pork something, or Spam something.

Also the lobster roll is popular in Connecticut, where Maine's lobster roll is based on mayonnaise, ours is just based on melted butter..

@kevingray8616 11 ай бұрын

I had it with melted butter in Maine; Red’s Eats in fact. I think they have it either way. As a Texan it was a real treat. We do have lobster from time to time. Luckily, we live in Houston, so we at least get as much shrimp as we can handle. I found it odd that in Maine they were selling Gulf shrimp. Evidently they haven’t been allowed to fish for shrimp up there; but this was some years ago. Of the places my wife and I have been, we really want to go back to Portland, ME and the surrounding area. Wonderful break from the Houston heat in the summer. So much to see and eat.

We cam't afford that. Homemade beans and hot dogs, boiled dinners, pot roast and veggies, and corn chowder or meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Now those are meals we find comforting.

Loco moco, saimin, oxtail soup, Portuguese bean soup, Zippy's chili, those are popular comfort foods in Hawaii.

I was just going to comment the same thing for Hawaiʻi. Poke bowls are a new trendy dish in other states, and REAL poke was never eaten with beans, lettuce, tomatoes, and other salad toppings as shown - even though the narrator talked about traditional poke, which is a popular dish without the rice, but I wouldnʻt call it a comfort food. I would definitely say saimin is a comfort food that appeals to locals across the generations. The other things you mentioned are also good examples.

So, I am not from the states, but....FryBread Taco for Montana? Frybread was basically created out of desperation by the Navajo tribes living in Arizona after they were forcefully relocated into the reserves of Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado (and that have basically nothing to do with the tribes living in Montana), and the idea of "taco" is pretty obviously a southerner one, so.....what's the story behind? Plus I'd expect one of the states that makes the best huckberries in the whole US and is one of the top three cattle-farming states (and one that is very invested in raising bisons) I'd have expected stuff like huckberry jam and pies, steaks and bison steaks, meat pastries....so hearing about frybread taco being a Montana staple feels....weird

Or sold it anywhere really. 🤤 While it’s not what I would say is THE comfort food for NM (green chile) it is definitely up there if you are from NM and it is not what would have ever come to mind if someone asked me about Montana.

Frybread isn't just a Navajo thing

@ZalemMoon 4 ай бұрын

Fry bread is popular with many natives in many states, it might have started with the Navajo but it spread quickly to other tribes across the country. I'm Lakota with family in South Dakota and frybread and the fry bread tacos are very popular there too. Different tribes also have slightly different ways of making it. I'm not sure of the origins of using it for a taco, but I'm assuming it started out with the Navajo too, and they are down south. I'm also assuming that it spread quickly to other tribes just as the fry bread did. There are many powwows across the country that welcome and allow various tribes to participate, so even though each tribe is different, there are many things that become shared with between tribes. Certain tribes might not get along that well, but overall, we still feel connected to each other like family regardless of what tribe you're in.

And, a Greek dish is chili spaghetti as well as coney dogs, now we don’t do the beans typically on chili cheese coneys but, we do with chili spaghetti, however, the beans don’t typically go in the chili when, served the typical way the Greek do, the red beans or kidney beans are added as optional if you would do a 5 way but, the beans added as part as a added layer! Some people when making it at home my mom would do it this way also.

Chicago style pizza may be the pizza of choice above I-80 but not the vast portion of Illinois below there. Most pizzas in central and southern Illinois are New York style, thick crust, tomato sauce, cheese and toppings. Or St. Louis style- thin cracker crust, tomato sauce, cheese and loaded with toppings. The food that has been uniquely adopted by Illinois in the last 40 years or so is the Horse Shoe Sandwich made of your choice of meat on open faced bread covered with french fries and cheese sauce Or the Pony Shoe a smaller version of the Horse. Not my choice, but very popular here in the Land of Lincoln. A close second is riverrfish--catfish, buffalo, carp, crappie served in restaurants and diners all over the state, especially in towns near the Mississippi, Ohio and Wabash rivers and also before or during Friday night high school football games, Fridays during Lent, or in summer homecomings and fairs by churches, volunteer fire departments, fraternal and veterans organizations, and other charitable organizations as fund raisers. Except in the dead of winter, you will seldom have a Friday where there are no fishfries within 50 miles of where you are located.

Maybe they were addled by the sight of the glorious trainwreck that is the Calvert & Crossland flag. (Also. Delmarva slippery dumplings are fantastic. But so are the biscuit sort more prevalent in the Deep South!) ed: All of my applause! You hit Maryland perfectly. If you go to a public function anywhere around the Bay (including Delaware and that one bit of Virginia at the south end of Delmarva) you're very likely to find crab(cake)-burgers on offer. Great stuff if you don't mind fishing out the occasional bit of shell, because one can _never_ seem to pick Jimmies perfectly clean. Or, at least I can't!

As a retired horticulturist (40+) years… the ONLY reason I ever grew tomatoes in my own garden at home was to be able to make myself a huge plate of Fried Green Tomatoes! I absolutely adore them! Being a GA native living in Tx now, my other craves are chicken & dumplings and fried okra/ yellow squash! Edit: 1 cup milk mixed with 1 or 2 eggs (blended) and dredged into cornmeal to which 1 tblsp sugar to 1 cup is added! Fry till golden each side !

@@kimberlypatton205though I was born and (mostly) raised in Pennsylvania, fried green tomatoes and ripe tomato sandwiches were always a staple of our summer meals. We eat the fried green tomatoes either as a side with other summer foods… like burgers, bbq chicken, picnic type foods, etc… We also eat fried green tomatoes as a sandwich on toasted bread with an aïoli or flavored mayonnaise of your choice, salt & pepper. Red/ripe tomatoes we like on bread or toast, usually with salad dressing/Miracle Whip rather than mayo and some salt & pepper. Simple, but delicious. And only locally grown tomatoes are used, as grocery store tomatoes have zero flavor. 🤢 Besides you can’t find green tomatoes in the stores around here, you have to grow them or get them from a local, roadside, produce stand. ✌🏻😊🥰

16:01 Nope. There was a survey of Pennsylvanians and the number one comfort food is the Philly Cheesesteak. People in the northwest, northeast and southwest parts of PA don’t typically eat scrapple much, if at all. It’s a big state and a lot of ppl don’t even know what scrapple is, but everyone knows Philly Cheesesteaks. Everyone has eaten a Philly cheesesteak and they are not only our most famous food, but our favorite, PA comfort food - statewide.

You snubbed the U.P. of Michigan. Yes ! They are very proud of themselves. You will find the Michigan style of pasty, at the top of the comfort food tree. They different from Cornish pasty in texture and taste. Michigan style uses ground meat, which makes a vast difference in texture and taste. As steak and hamburger are different so is the Michigan pasty. By the way I love them both.

I currently live in Houston and no one ever mentions Chili con Carne, it's usually crawfish everyone's obsessed with, tho it ranges of course.

As a born and raised Kansan that also grew up and have lived most of my life in the Kansas City area(on both sides of stateline- Kansas and Missouri), I definitely won’t deny burnt ends being one of my most favorite foods(or just bbq in general lol). BUT I must point out, to give credit where credit is due, that burnt ends being enjoyed as an actual dish, instead of continuing to be considered scraps of meat, is recognized as being started by Arthur Bryant’s Barbecue in Kansas City, Missouri many decades ago after they used to leave them on a dish for customers to help themselves to for free as a little treat and realized how popular they were. Burnt ends aren’t a Kansas or Missouri thing, they’re a Kansas City thing 😊

As a Chicago native, I can firmly attest to the fact that "Chicago Style" pizza is NOT "The" comfort food for the entire state of Illinois! NOT even close! "Chicago Style" pizza isn't even the comfort food of the city of Chicago either. It's usually reserved for special occassions or for impressing out-of-towners. The Chicago area would probably have the comfort food of an authentic Chicago style Italian Beef sandwich while Central Ilinois would claim the Horseshoe Sandwich and corn on the cob in early summer when our sweet corn is at its finest, as their comfort food of choice. (There are entire festivals in Northern and Central Illinois entirely themed around sweet corn!) Southern Illinois is interesting as it really is "Southern" - they love a good Biscuits and Gravy, Fried Chicken and Pineapple shakes! Hawaii: Poke bowls are popular but a "comfort" food there would be a Spam Sandwich!
