Do you have a favorite regional food?

finlander60 @finlander60 (1804) • United States 10 Aug 09

I am sure we all have something that we like to eat or drink that we just cannot seem to find anywhere else. For me that would be coffee syrup. I remember mixing it in my milk when I lived in Rhode Island. What would you have, if...
