/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Please excuse my awful wording as I have consumed copious amounts of cheap red wine, thank you.

>>13739841
Good ole Texas pit BBQ. You ever come down here, go to a place called Salt Lick in Dripping Springs, best damn BBQ I've ever had. Rudy's is pretty good too.

>>13739864
Glad to have a reply this quick! I've read a lot about the differences in BBQ in different states but what about the Texan variety makes it so good and mostly different as opposed to let's say South Carolinian BBQ? Is it mostly in the rubs or do certain other ways of preparation play a role?

>>13739871
Texas tends to use beef and no sauce. Carolina uses opossum meat and a shit load of sauce.

>>13739871
Mesquite wood has a very distinct scent and flavor that goes really well with pork, we also favor dry rubs while northerners drown their que in sauces.

>>13739882
Opossum sounds like possum which I don't think we have or would eat here, but I'll try to take this at face value and say I'd prefer Texan style.
>>13739888
Northeners do BBQ? Or do you mean northeners as in everything above Texas?

>>13739906
>everything above Texas?
anything north of Interstate 10 is a canadian

>>13739912
Lmao based

We only have regional fast food.

>>13739937
Still curious, tell me about it

>>13739841
Cincinnati has two major things. One is goetta, a sausage made from ground pork, oats and a variety of spices. The other one is this, Cincinnati Chili, which has been posted here before with "do Americans really", and it looks about the same way in as it does out, and receives mixed reactions through the entirety of the nation. Why?

Because Cincinnati chili is not normal chili. It is closer to Greek and Macedonian dishes which involve ground meat seasoned with cinnamon in a tomato-based sauce (the tomato doesn't really come through, the spices do). The fact it's called chili means that everyone freaks the fuck out, because this clearly isn't chili. But it is absolutely delicious, a flavorful, complex, rich meat sauce.

>>13739841
Christ, speak english you presumably Boer dutch faggot and you already lost the Boer War.

>>13739976
The sausage sounds good as shit, I won't touch the chili bit as people here get sort of anal about that but I must say that from looking at it I would still try.
>>13739981
Brother I'm from the country most of those people left, we treat them not much better than the bantu among them. My poor English is solely due to my intoxication.

San Francisco

Cioppino was developedby Italian immigrants, so it's really more Italian than anything, but fuck you it's ours. Saltwater catch of the day cooked with tomatoes in a wine sauce.

Yes I'm a faggot.

>>13740022
I'd eat that, looks good!

I live in Seattle. We have a LOT of immigrants here, so there's tons and tons of food options to choose from. It's actually really nice. Anything you're in the mood for, you can usually find a place that serves it.

We have a lot of Salmon and Seafood here, so if you're looking for a seafood feast, you'll get pretty lucky if you know where to look. There's a sports bar in northern Seattle that serves all-you-can-eat Dungeness Crabs on Monday. It's expensive but the crab meat is sweet and tender and the lemon and butter you dip it into is luxurious. I always leave stuffed to gills.

>>13739841

Just wanted to take the opportunity to say that if any of my fellow Euros give you shit for plastic cheese or cheeseballs or whatever then you just need to show them your regional specialties. I TIRE of this shitflinging.
>>13740026
Fuck me and my mother that looks well nice, the concept of a sports bar means you can drink and eat there and watch the game I suppose? Good shit brother
>>13740028
Took the trouble of guegling it but 'Bammy sausage? Sounds good brother

>>13740025
Glad you like it bro.

It is traditionally served with local sourdough, and San Francisco sourdough is absolutely god tier.

>>13739841
I'm happy to shit-talk our food and culture, but at least bring something to the table.

>>13740028
Also shrimp and grits. We are a gulf state so lots of fresh seafood. White barbeque sauce. Fried green tomatoes the movie is based off the whistle stop Cafe in Irondale.

>>13739871
If you ever come to America, you should try BBQ from as many different areas as you can. We argue among ourselves and take pride in our cooked meats, so please help yourself to them and be the judge.

>>13740037
The shit is so good. Flavors a pot of beans better than a ham hock.

>>13740046
this is horrible. illinois needs more beer

Sorry for mass replying but thanks for the bumps
>>13740043
The fuck, a guinea dish served with (kraut) kraut?
This peeks my interest. Guess that's what you mean with a LOT of immigrants.
>>13740046
Yes this sort of stuff I need, sometime I will visit the US and it'd be good to know where to visit when taking food into consideration.
>>13740054
I absolutely will brother.
>>13740057
Gonna try to make some of this crap at home

>>13740037
>The concept of a sports bar means you can drink and eat there and watch the game I suppose?

Yes! They usually have multiple TVs with different sports on each one so that you can switch over to another game if a commercial break happens. Beers, alcohol and a food menu means that it's always crowded and noisy. Worth it.

>>13740062
It'd take a lifetime to experience it all.

>>13740046
>Indiana
Wrong tenderloin pic.

>>13739841
South African here. This is not in any way what droewors looks like. This is just some euro (likely Italian style) shit.

Also, we are not Dutch and we despise you fucking Nederlandse, boet. The more you know.

>>13740046
>Ohio
>pierogi
We do have great pierogi, but that's not an exclusively Ohio thing, nor did it start here. I do think that stuff like buckeyes are absolutely delicious, peanut butter balls coated in chocolate.

>>13740079
Just the different styles of bbq

>>13740085
>>13740093
Hey, fellow tri-staters.
It's not perfect, but for drunk, euro-nigger OP, it's damn close enough.

>>13740090
Whatever you say kiddo no one cares about your fake white plight.
>>13740078
Sounds minted, what sort of beers do you boys enjoy, anything regional? I know you Americans love your local craft stuff.
>>13740079
Here's to hoping I reach half!

>>13740117
Good infochart! With southern I suppose people mean biscuits and gravy, country fried steak etc?
Interesting to know that as far north as that most commonly eaten food would be steak. I recently saw a chart proclaiming poultry (I assume chicken and Turkey) were the most common meat eaten in the US and was slightly surprised. Is eating chicken wings really that popular over there?

>>13740107
> what sort of beers do you boys enjoy, anything regional? I know you Americans love your local craft stuff.

Lord, that's a whole new thread on it's own. Seattle is HUGE on beer and wines. TONS of local breweries and vineyards and every single flavor under the sun you can imagine. One of the tastiest I've had was a dark lager with Pecan flavor. It was thick and creamy almost a meal by itself. Exquisite.

We also have garbage, like Rainier. It's basically watered down piss, but it's got a cult following.

What types of local beers do you have where you are?

>>13740144
By the lord up above I unleashed something.
Well I come from the place which have given you Heineken and Grolsch (for the poshos)
Most people here drink macrobrews including me and I'm fine with that. There are microbrews but alcohol is so expensive here that you'd have to be an attorney to enjoy them on the regular. For me, I like trailerpark DE KLOK, which is about 14 euros for 12 litres which comes to 406 oz and tastes like fuck all. Locally I have fuckall but if you ask someone from the south or west they are bound to come up with something.

>>13740136
Regional and seasonal, but we eat a shitton of chicken.

>>13740107
Great. So I’ll accept your concede you’re some idiot who doesn’t actually know what droewors is.

Your thread is fucking cringe, by the way. You couldn’t come across more fake and insincere if you tried. Stop attention-whoring.

>>13740158
Nothing wrong with chicken of course it just occured to me that there was a lot to do about chickend sandwiches (which I imagine was because of a deliberately caused shortage). I always imagine people from the US loving their steak but I guess your country is just that enormous.
>>13740165
I genuinely don't care what some halfnigger says sorry

>>13740107
>Sounds minted, what sort of beers do you boys enjoy, anything regional? I know you Americans love your local craft stuff.
That's a mess. I like a lot of local ciders (the guy who talked about Cincinnati chili), there's plenty of beers around here, what with Kentucky being next door bourbon is a huge thing...

>>13740136
>With southern I suppose people mean biscuits and gravy, country fried steak etc?
Yup!
>Is eating chicken wings really that popular over there?
Oh yeah, so's deep fried chicken, breaded chicken, roast chicken, so on and so forth.

>>13740157
>Grolsch

Never heard of it! I had to google it. I bet this stuff would go good with Chicken wings or something with cheese in it. I can see this being on hand when you go out to eat fried foods. I bet it's crisp and cleanses the pallet well.

>>13740171
And yet there you were in the OP and later posts, desperately attempting to suck Afrikaner cock.

Stay rekt, attention whore.

>>13740022
Ah so thats why everyone shits on the streets in sf

>>13740174
Grolsch is rather bitter for a macro and it might be expensive to import so I wouldn't risk it unless you are REALLY willing to try it and able to get a good deal.
>>13740172
Thank you brother, I'm learning a lot!
>>13740183
You are coming across as a really butthurt guy right now. What, Mandela eat your mummas pussy? KYS halfnigger

>>13740165
Have to agree with this. This smacks of meta for attention seeking, OP. Pretty sure this was already in another thread (the one about asking for foreign foods) anyway. Please lurk more.

>>13740198
Someone asks about food and it's suddenly bad?
I think this is a fresh breeze amidst the shitflinging and fastfood stuff

HAI GUIZ LOOKIT ME PLS LETS CHAT PLS LYK ME PLS

>>13740205
Where does this anger come from buddy?
I was genuinely trying to omit shit-flinging but there you are

>>13740204
Nope. I’m pointing out you’re double-posting and recycling other threads. Be original.

>>13740213
Point me to those other threads, please. I'm really curious now.

>>13740190
> kys half nigger
Not him, but is this not what you said in your OP?

> I think the concept of dried sausage in this form came from South African farmers and I'm very thankful to them for this delicacy,

Wow. Quite an about-turn, OP. You’re the one coming across as butt-raped.

>>13740223
I was and still am really thankful to the Afrikaners for that recipe, does this somehow exclude me from partaking in any kind of disliking from them?
I am proclaiming you the victor and will go to bed now. My apologies.

>>13740219
Sure. Here you go: >>13730210

That post got a lot of replies pointing out the better question to ask was by region. I suspect you saw that post and decided to just run your own thread rather than contribute to that one.

So yes, I’m afraid that is attention whoring and you have indeed shit up the board with unnecessary meta nonsense.

>>13740247
I already said that you won but whatever helps you sleep at night despite your needless anger.
Any other Americans wanting to post their local specialties despite this angry disturbance, please go ahead.

>>13739976
>without fail, the ohio poster will pop up in threads about food to share his cheesy diarrhea slop that he's actually proud of

>>13740302
I'll have you know it tastes absolutely delicious, even if the presentation is godawful.

>>13740247
This. Thought I’d seen this post somewhere else on the board. You should be embarrassed, OP.

>>13739841
Northern Nevada, Elko county has a huge population of Basques, so quite a few good lamb dishes and the trademark Basque charizo.

>>13739841
There’s not really “regional delicacies” and the like in the US because American culture hasn’t had enough time to fully develop and thresh itself out.
The basic way of understanding a regions “cuisine” in America is understanding the cultural components of that region.

>>13740353
>no regional delicacies in the US
>understanding a cuisine requires understanding culture
>america isn't threshed out and developed
absolutely awful postmodern post

>>13739841

I'm from NY near NYC, our regional food is mostly americanized italian food (pizza, random stuff with marinara sauce, etc).

also a fair amount of kosher/yiddish influence. Bagels, matzo ball soup/chicken noodle soup, pickles are popular

>>13739864
This guy knows what hes talking about. The sauce is dummy good. Probably nihonese influence from the owners wife.

>>13740190
Grolsch is available in the USA in most larger markets. Also something to remember is that most US states have massively relaxed their laws and regulations regarding brewing in the past 20 years, so there are large craft brew scenes nationwide.

>>13741400
In Pittsburgh we put steak, fries, and/or perogies on everything because we are fat and/or retarded.

>>13739841
Venison... everything.

I've got 8 lbs of deer sausage, 4 full back straps, 12 lbs of ground venison and another 10 steaks to go through in my freezer.

Plus, sitting on a ton of Canada goose breast. I hunt a lot of my meat, and couldn't see doing it any other way.

That and the Dutch bakeries that churn out amazing sweets make Michigan a solid place overall.

Most people just talk about Coney dogs and Detroit pizza, but there's plenty of actual regional food as well. Just look at Traverse city cherry festival goods.

Plus, dear God the distilleries in Grand Rapids...

>>13741420
well at least youre not in rochester making "garbage plates"

>>13741429
Tell me about these garbage plates I'm sure the white trash here would love them

>>13741600
"A Garbage Plate, according to a 2010 archive of the restaurant's official website, starts "with a base of any combination of home fries, macaroni salad, baked beans, or french fries topped by your choice of meats and dressed to your liking with spicy mustard, chopped onions, and our signature Nick Tahou's hot sauce. Each plate comes with two thick slices of fresh Italian bread and butter.""

>>13739906
>Opossum sounds like possum which I don't think we have or would eat here, but I'll try to take this at face value and say I'd prefer Texan style.
They don't actually eat opossum.

Santa Maria Tri Tip is from my area although it's gotten pretty popular now and you can get it in other states now. As well as subhumans selling fake pork and weird beef cuts in "Santa Maria style". And yes that one is over cooked because I have enough family with shit tastes that I just cook 2.

>>13740026
Fuck, what bar? I'm in Wedgwood.

You open that styrofoam container at 2 am after the bars let out and it feels like your opening a pirates chest full of Spanish gold

Space Coast Florida here, what we have here locally is a mixture of Vietnamese and Latin cuisine on the cheap. But the American cuusine we have would probably have to be fried gator with spicy mayo and any fish/seafood dish you could think of. Mahi mahi sandwiches are the bomb not to mention some Southern classics we have without having Southern culture. Our bbq is focused around pulled pork and ribs with baked beans garlic toast and lots of sauce. If you visit Florida I highly recommend trying as much gator as you can, tastes like chicken.

I'm from New York, so considering all the immigrants here you can find just about everything. But as for what's considered traditional/associated with New York mostly comes from either the initial British settlers or the waves of Italian and Jewish immigrants a hundred years ago.

These being:
>New York style pizza
Which has a thicker crust and more cheese than it's Italian counter part.
>Deli Sandwiches
Hot Pastrami, Reuben, Bacon Egg n' Cheese, Hoagie, etc.
>Bagels
Not much to say here other than good luck finding decent bagels anywhere else in the country.
>Dirty Water Dogs
Hot dogs boiled in toilet water, best topped with mustard, sauerkraut, and sauced onions.
>Buffalo Wings
Again not much to say other then they were invented in New York so if you like Buffalo sauce then you're welcome I guess.

We also claim to have invented potato chips and say that we have the best cheesecake despite the fact that there's nothing different about it. Oh and we like apple pie, like the rest of the Northeast.

>>13739906
Barbeque is everywhere, but Texas, Kansas, and Tennesee claim to have the best. Since barbeque grills need to be used outside, barbeque is most popular in the South because you can do it year round.

steamed hams
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steamed_cheeseburger

>>13740136
Chicken and Turkey are popular because they're healthy, cheap and versatile. You can make roasts, sandwiches, sausages, cutlets, chuck etc.

I'd still wager I eat more beef and pork than Turkey though. It's most commonly used as a sandwich meat or as a healthier replacement for beef and pork in some recipes.

I always struggle to wrap my head around the size of the US, especially when it comes to pictures like that: it looks like each state lacks any form of internal diversity, but I always assume it's a perception problem, given by the fact that a chart like that would become unreadable if one was to show all the typical foods of each region. Being Italian I'm used to a different scale, where traveling just 50 miles in any direction will land you in places with different foods, traditions, wine, and often dialect. What is your area like? I mean, Texas is two times and a half the size of Italy, it can't be represented by Tex-Mex, can it?

Manhattan Clam Chowder, Eggs Benedict, Pastrami sandwiches, the deli is a thing period, the New York hot dog (sauerkraut and mustard as a minimum), the Reuben, a bunch of other stuff.

Generally, there are major differences in cuisine depending on which part of a state you are in. For example, Eastern Texas has more overlap with Southern cooking while South Western Texas is where most Tex-Mex is found. That said, there are 50 states and many of them are large enough to be their own countries so it is easier to generalize.

>>13739841
Pic related is my local hyper regional dish. Rarely seen outside Springfield, the 3rd largest city in Missouri, is Springfield Cashew Chicken. Basically fried bits of chicken topped with an oyster sauce based gravy, cahews, and green onions.

>>13739841
Most of the food in the US is the same, like bbq obviously you would get in Texas or Tennessee. Cajun in Louisiana etc. But for the most part you can get bbq in any state. Each place kind of has their own specialty. For me it's New York which has beef on weck in Buffalo which is a city in western NY or the garbage plate in pic related from Rochest NY.

>>13740028

>>13739841
I'm legitimately trying to think what counts as regional cuisine in California. It's mostly Asian food, Mexican food, or some kind of fusion far as I can tell. Other than that, there's some good Jewish delis in Southern California.

...In-N-Out and California Pizza Kitchen aren't really "California cuisine", right? Perhaps unique to the state, sure, but is it really different enough to be considered as such?

Hatch chiles are a big thing in the southwest. Even restaurants outside of New Mexico use them. In the southwest we also dominantly make scotch style single malt whiskey as opposed to the more renowned American bourbon and rye, the former we also make. One big difference is if we smoke it, we use mesquite and not peat. Also, prickly pear stuff tastes great.

>>13745687
Texas is gay as fuck and the only reason it’s worth talking about are the Californians immigrating and improving it and mexicans. Outside of those areas Texas is 3rd world as fuck

We don’t have tons of immigrants, we have vietnamese, chinese, all of the states blacks, and the natives but mostly whites of northern euro heritage and more recently californian white flighters.

One of the great things they started last year was canning and shipping direct to stores in single-sale 750ml (25.36oz) cans. Pretty much perfect size if you just want to be able to have a couple standard-size beers in one sitting and want to try something different each time.

Alot of people are post fried garbage itt. Growing up in North Dakota and Montana we never ate fried foods. Mainly simple dishes like roast beef with carrots onions celery in a pot, baked potatoes, potato soup, baked fish, various pasta dishes, shrimp, steak, ham, turkey, and a lot of baked chicken with rice. Burgers were actually pretty rare and we hardly ever ate out at all (even less since we discovered most of us are celiac).

We'd occasionally make lefse which was a nice treat. Making it gluten free is hard now.

That's my life in the Northwest. In the past few years we've branched out and make a lot of Chinese and Thai dishes too.

I live in California, and we produce most of the avocados people eat around the world, which Chile probably being a distant second.
Almonds, too.

Dishes California are famous for:
The Cobb Salad - Possibly the least healthy salad you could ever eat, but it IS delicious.
California Roll - Possibly the least enjoyable "sushi" you could ever eat.
Tri-Tip - a very flavorful cut of beef that was largely ignored until California made it popular. Comes from the sirloin cap.

>ctrl+f "low country boil"
>0 replies
Neat.

Pic related is a low country boil. Low country, or lowcountry, is the coast line of South Carolina and Georgia. It's full of warm water ocean seafood and it's pretty tasty. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, so I'm used to seafood, but living down here has been fun. We have something similar to a boil up in the PNW, but this is about the LCB.

Fresh ingredients are key, so you want stuff that you've just pulled out of the ground and the ocean, except the sausage obvs. Ingredients are simple: ear sweet corn cut into thirds or quarters, baby potatoes, shrimp, crab, and sausage. Herbs, aromatics, and seasonings to taste. You put all that into one giant pot and boil it in stages. Pull it out, dust it with your seasonings, let the juice and seasonings drain out and become a jus. Then you find a big picnic table outside, spread a bunch of newspapers down and dump everything out on the table.

Get a bunch of friends and family around it and everyone shares the food, drinks, and just hands out. It's tasty and social. One of my favorite food related experiences.

I'm from San Diego California. I don't have much experience with "regional" foods elsewhere in the US, and we don't really have a substantial food culture here. The closest thing to regional cuisine we have is Mexican food (tex-mex, but veers more to the mex because of so many immigrants), typically obtained from a cheap local restaurant or stand, or In-N-Out Burger, which really only exists in CA despite its global fame.

Mexican food is very nice. It's filled with refried beans, salsa, cheese, rice, and frequently involves lots of grilled meats and fried tortillas. National Tex-Mex foods are a decent substitute but not quite as good as fresh real stuff from local hole-in-the-walls.
In-N-Out is a really fresh salty burger made from high quality beef, like a steakburger but thin. They are often served with grilled diced onions (animal style) and something called "spread" that's really just thousand island dressing. Nevertheless when you have an In-n-out burger, whether you like or it hate it, it will change your perspective on hamburgers.

Franklin’s by a mile

North Carolina, Kill Devil Hills to be specific. Our big food (aside from some good seafood), is pulled pork BBQ. Depending on where you are in the state, East or West, you will find a general preference for a smooth smoky style, or a more tangy style, that said, I love them both.

>>13739841
From Western New York here.
Its pretty different from the city generally. Especially food-wise. Up here there is a definite hunting and fishing culture, but not the same ethnic diversity of the City.

A very common food is freshly caught lakefish, most commonly Walleye, battered and fried and served with slaw and lemon. Similar to fish and chips as the Brits do it, but the Walleye gives the dish a different taste. In restaurants you're more likely to get haddock, which makes it essentially an American version of fish and chips.
Game like venison and turkey are also popular to hunt and eat.
Outside of this sponge candy (pic related) is a common treat around Valentines Day. Its not unique to the area but its moderately rare outside of it in my experience. Its basically toffee that is leavened to give it a light and crispy texture.
Finally the beef on weck sandwich is a common dinner. Its roast beef + horseradish + au jus + kummelweck roll (chewy roll with coarse salt and caraway). With some pickles and chips on the side its a top tier meal.

>>13753973

>Texas is two times and a half the size of Italy, it can't be represented by Tex-Mex, can it?
Texas is enormous and has completely different cultures, although pretty much everyone but the crazy fucks who move here from califoria all love it. Up north in the panhandle they're basically okies, but we take mercy on them and pretend they're not. Lots of east Texas is pretty much Louisiana, they're eating crawfish and gumbo. Houston has every type of food there is. The DFW area has lots of Chinese food and lots of steak, although its painfully dull there. Along the cost there's lots of seafood, I've had some great meals near Corpus, blackened redfish is delicious. There's also a lot of fried catfish all throughout the state, near the rivers. There's a whole bunch of great food down south in the border regions, lots of places with proper Mexican food down there. West Texas is a desert, there's nothing there but oil and cattle. The hillcountry is my favorite place in the world, beautiful rolling hills, wildflower blooms all throughout spring, and everything from great German food to the best bbq you'll ever eat. Lots of nice towns, some with some really great historical architecture, old by US standards, not by Euro standards though I'm sure. A lot of people shit on Austin, and it is a weird and often disgusting place, but there's some great food there too, and a lot of great beer from that area, although they're a bit too fond of IPAs in my opinion, that gets old after a while. If you ever want a nice drive, the area around Marble Falls, Johnson City and Fredricksburg is really beautiful.

Not it doesn't. You can drive and see about 30+ states in the weeks. Seen all states multiple times but Alaska in a time period of two years living in the US.

Luckily come from Portland, Maine. Some of the best food in the country according to many different write ups. Obviously we eat tons of fresh, high quality seafood, and having those ingredients available in bulk brought a lot of japanese industry and influence. We also took a lot of refugees from Cambodia and Thailand, which had great impact on our cuisine.

Anons have already posted Tex-Mex and Texas-style BBQ so I'll post a very regional food that only very recently became common outside of small town central Texas: the Kolache (or formally Klobásník).

Basically a bunch of Czech immigrants migrated to the Texas Hill Country in the late 19th century, and they took one of their traditional open-faced desert pastry's with fruit/jam in the middle and instead stuffed it full of eggs/bacon/jalapenos/chorizo etc and fully enclosed it. The result is a breakfast taco like interior but the outside dough is incredibly soft, light, and slightly sweet. There are hundreds of variations of them, and every small central Texas town has at least one dedicated Kolache food stand or bakery that's been around forever, often near the town square. Recently Kolache bakery chains have opened up and started selling Kolaches in other states and crude approximations of Kolaches are available in grocery stores but not even a decade ago pretty much the only reliable way to get one was a rural road side food cart.
