You ever had a kolache? Seems pretty similar

>>7581274

I've heard that pepperoni rolls are actually based on that. Supposedly it came from lunches that Polish or Italian immigrants who worked in the coal mines would take with them.

>>7581275
Who cares

Schmalzkuchen are small, pillow-shaped cakes deep fried and covered in powdered sugar. Pic related. They're sold at every Christmas fair or public festival where I come from. I was shocked to find out that they're almost exclusive to Lower Saxony and no one farther than a 100 km away has ever heared of them.

Here's your (you), well deserved for your 5***** post

They're called Beignets (ben-YAYZ) down in the south along the Gulf coast, the New Orleans and Mobile area.

Is that really how you pronounce it? I always called them "beige nuts"

>>7581275
You're thinking of pasties that the Cornish immigrants would go down the mines with.

I was introduced to them by my older brother who's been living in Mobile for the last four years, so I'm pretty sure he picked up the right pronunciation.

They're pronounced /bɛnˈjeJ/ in English and [bɛɲɛ] in French. They look quite different from Schmalzkuchen though (at least judging from the pictures on wikipedia)

Grew up in Philly, now live in Connecticut. My Philly family moved to NC. I now have to bring pretzels with me any time I'm in Philly, regardless of whether I'm traveling north or south, because I got my friends up here hooked on them and my family still craves them.

cheese curds

In Southwest Ohio, little pizza shops sell "pizza bread." Not fucking thick crust pizza, but a magical pillowy dough with pizza toppings on top. Shit is awesome, can't find it anywhere on the east coast but at least I'm not in flyover territory anymore.

We have that in my east coast town. Baked on huge sheet pans by a local bread bakery, about 1.5" inches thick, square, with a thin layer of sauce and cheese on the top.

never seen or heard of it anywhere else, thought it was only that one bakery

bread is one of those things that like only one bakery will make

My muumsies makes these meatballs with rice mixed in that we would have with mashed potatoes on the side and the broath that the meatballs were cooked in to dip them.

I don't think I've ever had a bread pretzel. Just those dry crunchy snack ones.

What are those glazed with? They're so shiny.

>>7581267
Maybe its a greater Appalachian area thing, I have those all the time in northeast Ohio.

>>7582029
Sometimes butter, but they are naturally shiny either way.

>>7582035

Probably, like I said I see them all the time in Pittsburgh too.

My grandmother used to buy this bread from a bakery. It was the best.

>>7581588
Man. I moved to Ottawa from Philly and the pretzels are easily the thing I miss the most. The best you can get here are shitry Rold Gold hard pretzels and it kills me inside

>>7581267
I used to get cold pepperoni rolls from the convience store all the time. Really tasty.

These are the only thing I can think of that's unique to Ohio, but maybe I'm just not cultured enough to have heard of anything else.

>>7582264
My mom makes them at christmas (Massachvsetts) but totally covered in chocalte, no bare spots on the ball

>>7582264
people eat buckeyes? also skyline chili is an ohio thing

>>7582275
Well, I meant the buckeye confection made of choclate and peanut butter, not the (nuts?) from the buckeye tree. Homemade ones are the bomb fampai.

>>7582275
It's just a thug that looks like (and hence, called) a buckeye. Chocolate and peanut butter on the inside

Big, soft pretzels are hard to find? I've spent all my life living in various parts of KY and I've never thought of them as a regional thing. They're pretty common as fair/festival/sports arena food.

Now, if you mean as a common item to pick up made from scratch at a corner bakery, we don't really have that, that I've seen.

the nigga with the shaved ice cart that would come by daily :p

My grandma makes a kind of pasta she calls dago. Hard to describe, it was tomato based but had a smokey flavour. Probably from all the cigarettes she smoked.

Wasn't until I was 12 that I was told dago was a slur for Italians. Explains why I got weird looks from some of my teachers.

>fair/festival/sports

sounds awful

>>7581267
we call them montefrance.
baguette cut in half with a wiener sausage and cheese. really good with ketchup.
i discovered it was only present in middle Troms, was shocked when visiting Tromso and they didn't have it anywhere.

Good thing we only have this around christmas because it's horribly fattening and delicious

We had pepperoni rolls in West mi
Fucking nothing in UP,MN,CA,CO

Especially the sandwich kinds with cheese, tomatoes, and cucumbers.

>>7581267
>kolache

Maybe Pizza Logs?
