The Mississippi catfish sandwich is not too different from the fish you'd get in usual British fish and chips places, but the batter is a mixture of corn meal and flour, so it's a little more gritty than the lighter batter there in the UK.

Deep fried soft shell crab with cocktail sauce or malt vinegar! Good stuff! When I was in Wisconsin, the best brat I had was grilled first. When it was about 3/4 done it was put in a hot beer and onion bath to finish.
We usually boil them in the beer then sear them on the grill. Its better to soak in the beer first while the skin will still absorb much of the beer n then you watch it sizzle out on the grill. Its amazing, but got nothing on the Philly steak n cheese
I’m from ND and was fearing it’d be something lame like a grilled cheese, but that Beef and gravy sandwich is outstanding, really happy it’s that guy. Simple, but effective
Yeah, I was pretty disappointed with grilled cheese for Oregon! Don't get me wrong, grilled cheese IS delicious, but we have some amazing food here that should have been showcased instead. Plus the host's pronunciation of Tillamook was hilariously bad.
If your sandwich gets messy, then you need to adopt the "Chicago Stance". Eat it standing up with both elbows on the counter, and your feet well back and spread apart. That way the juices don't run down your arms or onto your clothes.
That burger from Connecticut with the bread for a bun at Louis lunch is sooo famous and so good. They have the weirdest hours, but it’s worth a shot to get in there (often a long line). They have signs for no ketchup and you get kicked out if you get caught sneaking it in(people have tried) you can also carve your name anywhere I mean anywhere inside. The whole inside is made of wood, columns tables walls everything. I went to college in New Haven where Louis Lunch is, also best pizza in the world is in New Haven. Modern Apizza Sally’s, and Pepe’s - three best Apizza shops
@@Piterdeveirs333 you are correct. I didn't even notice that i put ham in there. It's original name was Taylor's Prepared Ham or Taylor's Processed Ham or something along those lines.

It's Pork Roll.

The French bird dish is ortolan ,they are small birds from the Rhone river delta.,eaten whole with a napkin over your head ,making sort of a tent to capture the aroma.
That frybread sandwich looks amazing. I grew up eating frybread a lot, and you could put anything on it and it'll be delicious. Having scene the frybread taco, I know what I'm doing for dinner tonight now.
I used to catch the Maryland soft crabs as a commercial fisherman. The legs and extremities are like fried onions/crispy bits while the body is the traditional soft white lump meat
Cuban is probably the best in my oppinion. Its simple, but i never experienced a Bad or Ok one. Not to mention the Cuban bread, i can eat that plain for days.
Cheesesteaks from Philadelphia are usually served on a sandwich roll from an Italian bakery. Many of the steak places in Philly (and even outside Pennsylvania) use the bread rolls from a local bakery called Amoroso's, though some of the better known places use other local Italian rolls.
Had my wife try a spider roll (soft shell crab) 3 years ago and now every time we get sushi she has to have at least one. Here's the kicker, she is like 95% vegetarian. Only meat she eats is spider rolls, and my southwestern style crabcakes which is a variety of crabcake I make that has cayenne, cumin, black beans, corn, chipotle paste, etc... I'm not a Marylander (born and raised in upstate NY), but my parents took my brother and I on a cruise when I was 8 and I had totally unfettered snow crab - just shredded snowcrab leg meat in a martini glass - and I have been obsessed with seafood ever since. Like, to the point that if you told me I could never have red meat or poultry ever again I wouldn't even be too bothered. My grocery bill would go up considerably, but diet wise I would still be happy.
They got the California Sandwich wrong! While we all love In & Out here, that is a cheeseburger not a sandwich. The best sandwich, which can be found on every California deli’s menu. is the California sub (of course named after our state). It is white French bread with turkey, provolone, lettuce, tomato, bacon, avocado, yellow mustard, and mayonnaise - toasted.
Lexington North Carolina has a BBQ Festival every year. It is held on the last weekend in October. All BBQ in Lexington is pit cooked using hickory wood.
I questioned the legitimacy of the entire list after seeing ours. I've had the "Elvis" sandwich at a few places, and it is good, but most people I've mentioned it to have never heard of it.
The first time I had soft-shell crab, I didn't know how to eat it so I just decided to start with the face. It was already awkward so you might as well go all in. They are delicous. Seriouly, don't let the weirdness stop you from trying such a great crab.
Native American Fry Bread Recipie. 4. cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder 1 1/2 cups warm water ( plus a little more just in case the dough is too dry) (Simple option!: You can substitute everything for Self-rising flour and water) Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Slowly add in the water and mix with a spoon or oil up your hands and mix with your hands. the dough will be VERY sticky so remove any rings. cover with a tea towel and let rest for at least a half hour. Head a pan or fryer with enough oil to be at least 2 inches deep. when the oil is hot, section out the dough into balls and roll out to desired size and shape. the dough will be sticky so you may want to coat your hands /surface with flour. drop the rolled out dough into the oil. cook until golden, flipping the dough halfway through. let it drain on a paper towel. You can use these for Navajo tacos, or do what the Navajo here do and drizzle them with honey while they are still hot and dust with powder sugar.
Interesting fact since you mentioned pasties. If they showed sandwiches for Michigan's Lower and Upper Peninsula's individually the Upper Peninsula's sandwich would probably be their sandwich. Cornish miners immigrated to there to work the copper mines and the Finns and Norwegians took to them too. Everyone's grandma has their own recipe.
You all are right. Even peanut butter and jelly sandwiches taste better if someone else makes it. I’ve had the soft shell crab sandwich and it’s delicious. The shell is soft with a slightly crispy exterior when fried. Cubanos are fabulous. Any barbecued meat in a sandwich is magnificent. Philly cheesesteaks are fantastic- though I prefer provolone. One sandwich that wasn’t mentioned but is among the best is the Italian hoagie with paper thin charcuterie like salami, Genoa ham, mortadella, pepperoni, etc., and provolone cheese. On the same roll as a cheesesteak, with lettuce, tomato and onion, topped with olive oil and vinaigrette- no Mayo or mustard! One of the best sandwiches in the world.
The bird you're talking about is an Ortolan. Everything is eaten except the beak. It's illegal here in the states, as well. That, as well as the soft shell crab, I could never eat. I really don't like eating something that literally looks like it can get up and walk away! 🤣
@@tkmiller_author I don't know much about the balut eggs, but I've heard of them, and I think they used them a few times on Fear Factor. The only reason I know about the Ortolan is because it's been a protected endangered species. I wouldn't be able to keep either down!
From the time In-N-Out opens to the time it closes, there's a line around the block to get a double double cheese burger. Why you might ask? The taste is unbelievably good because it's farm fresh delivered by their own meat patty facility, their own potatoes, tomatoes...etc. It's delivered in the morning fresh with no preservatives, the potatoes are fresh cut at each restaurant not frozen with no preservatives. If you're ever in Southern California you have to try it. But you're going to have to wait in line a little bit.
If you happen to come to Philly, don't get sucked in by the tourist traps like Geno's or Pat's. If you ask almost anybody in the city, you can get a better cheese steak at their local pizza shop. If you want to go to a place that consistently wins awards, go to Dalessandro's in the Roxborough section of town. Personally, I stay away from Whiz (liquid cheese) and prefer American since it melts cleaner than provolone. Fried onions are a must. I also like ketchup (on the side) as opposed to sauce as sauce can be messy - or go very light on sauce.
Louis' Lunch is still there in New Haven, yes. After the bars let out, that place gets packed. All they make is burgers and dogs, and there's hardly anywhere to sit down, so you get it bagged in a paper bag and take it with you. It's fantastic.
BTW I believe the French bird thing you're talking about is the Ortolan Song Bird. From Wikipedia. The ortolan (Emberiza hortulana), also called ortolan bunting, is a bird in the bunting family Emberizidae, a passerine family now separated by most modern scholars from the finches, Fringillidae. The genus name Emberiza is from Old High German Embritz, a bunting. The specific hortulana is from the Italian name for this bird, ortolana.[2] The English ortolan is derived from Middle French hortolan, "gardener".[3] The ortolan is served in French cuisine, typically cooked and eaten whole. Traditionally diners cover their heads with their napkin, or a towel, while eating the delicacy. The bird is so widely used that its French populations dropped dangerously low, leading to laws restricting its use in 1999. In September 2007, the French government announced its intent to enforce long-ignored laws protecting the bird
I do like a good chicken fried steak here in Oklahoma, but I'm surprised that the onion burger wasn't mentioned instead. That's an Oklahoma creation invented during the 30s with the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, where farmers conserved meat by adding onions to the beef. They weren't using as much meat but they were still getting a full sandwich. There are onion burger restaurants all over this state, and they taste terrific!
When I was young I was Assistant Manager for a place called Friendly's. All of our burgers were served on toast instead of a bun. We were packed all the time with lines outside on the weekend. Really good stuff!
Aw yes! A pork roll fan among ya! Its the best! NJ has so many good sandwiches tho, hoagies deserve a mention but thats not really state specific. The philly cheesesteak is on the same type of roll, a hoagie roll as we call em. Always best fresh from the bakery.
Pennsylvania here. The hoagie roll that's used for the philly cheesesteak is called an Amorosa Roll, its specific to Pennsylvania because it's made in Philly as well.
My uncle raised soft shell crabs on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. You pen the crabs and wait until they molt. You have to ship them quickly because it doesn’t take too long for the new shells to begin to harden. My mom loved deep fried soft shell sandwiches.
I used to make two of those different. The Monte Cristo was 3 slices bread, ham, Am. cheese, bread, turkey, swiss cheese. 4 toothpicks, cut them from corner to corner, dip them in batter and fry like onion rings, then put on plate with powdered sugar and a side of raspberry jam sauce. The Philly sandwich was the beef, sauteed onions and peppers and add cream cheese. Grill bun and add provolone cheese, at least where I worked in the 90s.
I'm an American and my mouth was watering, us from New Jersey love our Pork Roll, egg, and cheese just ask bloke Dez who has lived in Jersey ....its no wonder we are the fattest country in the world! 🤣🤣
Hi, guys. *The bird* you're talking about is called an *Ortolan* which is stuffed and to be fattened and I believe soaked in wine. It's a small songbird found in France. It's been made illegal to eat in hopes of keeping the bird from becoming extinct. It's eaten whole, and feet first. All but the beak and some bones, that may be too hard for some is eaten. The reason people cover their heads while eating them is to keep others from being put off by them spitting out any bones, the beak, or any other part they don't swallow. The covering is also there to keep the aroma to themselves, as it may be too strong to others, and also for those eating it to enjoy the aroma even more. It's also been said that they cover their faces to hide their shame from God. I don't know about it being served in a potato, but maybe on a bed of lettuce. I heard about this bird years ago on an episode of "American Dad". Roger (the alien) was preparing to eat one, but since it was "American Dad", and especially with the outrageous Roger doing this, I didn't know what to think, so I looked it up. It was true! LOL! I've known for years, but never met or heard anyone else mention it, until this video. :)
As a guy from Massachusetts. No one eats fluffernutter sandwhiches after like age 11. The real sandwhich should have been a Pilgrim sandwhich or a nice roast beef roll from Kelleys
A good monti Cristo is three slices of white bread, ham sliced thin, provolone cheese, and instead of maple syrup, you do some grape or raspberry jam. You build the sandwich with the middle slice of bread with the jam on both sides, meat and cheese on the sides. Then you egg dip or tempura batter the sandwich, and pan fry or deep fry it.
The bird delicacy that the Blokes were talking about sounds like "Balut" which is originally from the Philippines. But it's usually eaten right out of the shell instead of a potato. I don't know for sure if it's legal in the US or not. It's a fertilized bird embryo that's boiled and eaten.
If it's illegal in the states, my grandma apparently has a balut dealer and a lot of explaining to do 😂 All jokes aside, I think you can find balut in some Asian grocery stores, at least in California anyway.
Pate is created by confining a duck or goose in a cage and force feeding it rich foods so the liver is full of the stuff that gets filtered out. The French bird thing, I heard that they let the dead bird age before they cook it and the towel over their head is to catch the "fragrance".
I'm a Pennsylvania gal, born and raised and rushing toward old-lady-hood. Of course, I've been to Philadelphia and had a steak sandwich, but I promise you that anyone from North Central PA who's had a cheese steak sandwich in Williamsport will be extremely disappointed by a Philly cheese steak. Cheez Whiz? That was such a gut-turner for me the first time I watched them making the famous sandwich at Gino's. In Williamsport it's provolone on that hot steak and it's loaded with fried and raw onions, lettuce, tomato and mayo. YUMMMMMMy! Now THAT'S a cheese steak. Our "regular" or Italian subs are better than any others, too. And then there are cosmos, which are a hoagie/sub which is placed under a broiler until the cheese melts and starts to bubble before it's served. I just finished a club sandwich of Virginia Baked Ham, American cheese, tomato and cole slaw on traditional three slice sandwich. Very good.
Thousand Island is ketchup, mayo, sweet pickle relish, and often a little bit of fine chopped onion and/or rinsed, chopped capers or fine diced hard boiled egg. I about died at the end when you mentioned a kangaroo burger. Back in the early '80s a big American burger chain contracted for hamburger from an Australian supplier. Along with the beef they got but didn't use mislabeled or unlabeled horse meat and kangaroo meat.
Main difference between fry sauce and Thousand Island is thickness. Fry sauce is completely smooth without the finely chopped onions and pickles in Thousand Island dressing.
In Chicago, most people eat their Italian Beef standing at a counter...legs far apart and as far from the counter as you can comfortably get...so the juice spills on the floor and not on your clothes. It’s a regional technique, like the way New Yorkers fold their pizza slices.
I'm from PA and gotta say, the philly cheese steak is amazing especially with cheese wiz which is like that melty liquid cheese you guys were talking about. Except here you'd call it a "wiz wit" if you want that kinda cheese lol
The raw beef thing ur talking bout it Steak Tar Tar. It's amazing. Always I use to be a butcher, and as long as u sterilize ur knife consistently while ur cutting the meat of choice (mine always being filet mignon) I would cut a thin layer of it and eat it raw. Without a doubt some of the best tasting meat ever. Btw never got sick from doing it. Main reason why I didnt waa because it was freshly opened and did it right away and second is because of wut I said earlier I sanitize my knife between every step of the process leading up to cutting the thin layer of beef off to eat. But give it a try guys cause it really is great. Just make sure to buy the meat still in the original packaging with no leaks in the package and use a new/very clean knife and sanitize through the whole process and u will be fine. Btw only beef guys lol.

The whole inside is made of wood, columns tables walls everything. I went to college in New Haven where Louis Lunch is, also best pizza in the world is in New Haven.

How dare you, it's a taylor ham sandwhich
@@rustudor5510 You relic. Taylor Ham is a BRAND. Pork Roll is the product. Says it right on the box.
Pork roll fo life
@@daniellewinkelspecht8356 No, Taylor is the brand. It hasn't been Taylor ham for over 100 years
@@Piterdeveirs333 you are correct. I didn't even notice that i put ham in there. It's original name was Taylor's Prepared Ham or Taylor's Processed Ham or something along those lines. It's been like 115 years or so since it was legally made to change it's name by the FDA. There is literally nobody alive today who ever remembers it as anything other than Taylor's Pork Roll. It's Pork Roll.
Here in Kansas City we batter our Monte Cristo, deep fry it, put powdered sugar on it and serve it with jam on the side. Jesus, now I’m gonna have to go get one.
I just smoked a little bit of the devil's lettuce before watching this.... I don't regret it.

Georgia here. I actually just bought some pimento cheese at the store today to make sandwiches with, haha.
Pulled pork bbq sandwiches (like mentioned for North Carolina) are really popular in Georgia too.
As a proud Wisconsinite, I can vouch for the deliciousness of our beer-battered brats. If there's a video on TH-cam, you guys should react to a true Wisconsin tailgating party for a Brewers or Packers game
The French bird dish is ortolan ,they are small birds from the Rhone river delta.,eaten whole with a napkin over your head ,making sort of a tent to capture the aroma.
That frybread sandwich looks amazing. I grew up eating frybread a lot, and you could put anything on it and it'll be delicious. Having scene the frybread taco, I know what I'm doing for dinner tonight now.
I used to catch the Maryland soft crabs as a commercial fisherman. The legs and extremities are like fried onions/crispy bits while the body is the traditional soft white lump meat
Cuban is probably the best in my oppinion. Its simple, but i never experienced a Bad or Ok one. Not to mention the Cuban bread, i can eat that plain for days.
I feel the same way with Polish Boys never had a bad one ever most underappriciated sandy in America
Cheesesteaks from Philadelphia are usually served on a sandwich roll from an Italian bakery. Many of the steak places in Philly (and even outside Pennsylvania) use the bread rolls from a local bakery called Amoroso's, though some of the better known places use other local Italian rolls.

Had my wife try a spider roll (soft shell crab) 3 years ago and now every time we get sushi she has to have at least one. Here's the kicker, she is like 95% vegetarian. Only meat she eats is spider rolls, and my southwestern style crabcakes which is a variety of crabcake I make that has cayenne, cumin, black beans, corn, chipotle paste, etc...
I'm not a Marylander (born and raised in upstate NY), but my parents took my brother and I on a cruise when I was 8 and I had totally unfettered snow crab - just shredded snowcrab leg meat in a martini glass - and I have been obsessed with seafood ever since. Like, to the point that if you told me I could never have red meat or poultry ever again I wouldn't even be too bothered. My grocery bill would go up considerably, but diet wise I would still be happy.
They got the California Sandwich wrong! While we all love In & Out here, that is a cheeseburger not a sandwich. The best sandwich, which can be found on every California deli’s menu. is the California sub (of course named after our state). It is white French bread with turkey, provolone, lettuce, tomato, bacon, avocado, yellow mustard, and mayonnaise - toasted.
So a turkey club add cheese and avo
From Colorado and in my 27 years here I've never heard of or seen a 'fool's gold loaf'
Same!! Born and raised here...never heard of it.
Yeah what is that... I wouldn't even know where to find that here
We have an age old argument over here between us Italians whether it’s “sauce” or “gravy”.
The “real” Italians know it’s “sauce”😜👍🏻
Lexington North Carolina has a BBQ Festival every year. It is held on the last weekend in October. All BBQ in Lexington is pit cooked using hickory wood.
As someone who has lived in Colorado his entire life, the Fool’s Gold sandwich is no where near the most popular sandwich.
Born and raised in Colorado. The only PB&J I’ve seen is on kids menus. Wtf? They should have at least gone with a bison burger or something.
@@windlizard30 seriously! I feel like New Mexico’s should’ve been ours as a Bison Burger. That, or literally we have a Colorado Club sandwich
I questioned the legitimacy of the entire list after seeing ours. I've had the "Elvis" sandwich at a few places, and it is good, but most people I've mentioned it to have never heard of it.
The first time I had soft-shell crab, I didn't know how to eat it so I just decided to start with the face. It was already awkward so you might as well go all in. They are delicous. Seriouly, don't let the weirdness stop you from trying such a great crab.
Apparently Louis’ Lunch predates the hamburger bun which is why it’s on toast.
Native American Fry Bread Recipie.
4. cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups warm water ( plus a little more just in case the dough is too dry)
(Simple option!: You can substitute everything for Self-rising flour and water)
Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl and mix well.
Slowly add in the water and mix with a spoon or oil up your hands and mix with your hands. the dough will be VERY sticky so remove any rings.
cover with a tea towel and let rest for at least a half hour.
Head a pan or fryer with enough oil to be at least 2 inches deep. when the oil is hot, section out the dough into balls and roll out to desired size and shape. the dough will be sticky so you may want to coat your hands /surface with flour. drop the rolled out dough into the oil. cook until golden, flipping the dough halfway through. let it drain on a paper towel.
You can use these for Navajo tacos, or do what the Navajo here do and drizzle them with honey while they are still hot and dust with powder sugar.
The sweet american bread comment is so true it pisses me off to no end how much sugar I can taste in a gd ham sandwich
They continually increase sugar in the ingredients in this country and wonder why we have an increase in Diabetes and weight gain.
Interesting fact since you mentioned pasties. If they showed sandwiches for Michigan's Lower and Upper Peninsula's individually the Upper Peninsula's sandwich would probably be their sandwich. Cornish miners immigrated to there to work the copper mines and the Finns and Norwegians took to them too. Everyone's grandma has their own recipe.
Soft shell crab is amazing. Dont be scared.
You all are right. Even peanut butter and jelly sandwiches taste better if someone else makes it. I’ve had the soft shell crab sandwich and it’s delicious. The shell is soft with a slightly crispy exterior when fried. Cubanos are fabulous. Any barbecued meat in a sandwich is magnificent. Philly cheesesteaks are fantastic- though I prefer provolone. One sandwich that wasn’t mentioned but is among the best is the Italian hoagie with paper thin charcuterie like salami, Genoa ham, mortadella, pepperoni, etc., and provolone cheese. On the same roll as a cheesesteak, with lettuce, tomato and onion, topped with olive oil and vinaigrette- no Mayo or mustard! One of the best sandwiches in the world.
Five minutes into this and I opened uber eats.
The bird you're talking about is an Ortolan. Everything is eaten except the beak. It's illegal here in the states, as well. That, as well as the soft shell crab, I could never eat. I really don't like eating something that literally looks like it can get up and walk away! 🤣
How odd. Because balut eggs are available. 🤷
@@tkmiller_author I don't know much about the balut eggs, but I've heard of them, and I think they used them a few times on Fear Factor. The only reason I know about the Ortolan is because it's been a protected endangered species. I wouldn't be able to keep either down!
@@jenniemitchell7731 good to know they are endangered. I didn't know that. 👍
Great video guys 👍
From the time In-N-Out opens to the time it closes, there's a line around the block to get a double double cheese burger. Why you might ask? The taste is unbelievably good because it's farm fresh delivered by their own meat patty facility, their own potatoes, tomatoes...etc. It's delivered in the morning fresh with no preservatives, the potatoes are fresh cut at each restaurant not frozen with no preservatives. If you're ever in Southern California you have to try it. But you're going to have to wait in line a little bit.
If you happen to come to Philly, don't get sucked in by the tourist traps like Geno's or Pat's. If you ask almost anybody in the city, you can get a better cheese steak at their local pizza shop. If you want to go to a place that consistently wins awards, go to Dalessandro's in the Roxborough section of town. Personally, I stay away from Whiz (liquid cheese) and prefer American since it melts cleaner than provolone. Fried onions are a must. I also like ketchup (on the side) as opposed to sauce as sauce can be messy - or go very light on sauce.
Louis' Lunch is still there in New Haven, yes. After the bars let out, that place gets packed. All they make is burgers and dogs, and there's hardly anywhere to sit down, so you get it bagged in a paper bag and take it with you. It's fantastic.

BTW I believe the French bird thing you're talking about is the Ortolan Song Bird.
From Wikipedia.
The ortolan (Emberiza hortulana), also called ortolan bunting, is a bird in the bunting family Emberizidae, a passerine family now separated by most modern scholars from the finches, Fringillidae. The genus name Emberiza is from Old High German Embritz, a bunting. The specific hortulana is from the Italian name for this bird, ortolana.[2] The English ortolan is derived from Middle French hortolan, "gardener".[3]
The ortolan is served in French cuisine, typically cooked and eaten whole. Traditionally diners cover their heads with their napkin, or a towel, while eating the delicacy. The bird is so widely used that its French populations dropped dangerously low, leading to laws restricting its use in 1999. In September 2007, the French government announced its intent to enforce long-ignored laws protecting the bird
Fucking hell those look good! I'm not sure I can continue watching your guys food videos. I'll get too fat!
😂
@@OfficeBlokes no doner batch...........im disappointed lol
I do like a good chicken fried steak here in Oklahoma, but I'm surprised that the onion burger wasn't mentioned instead. That's an Oklahoma creation invented during the 30s with the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, where farmers conserved meat by adding onions to the beef. They weren't using as much meat but they were still getting a full sandwich. There are onion burger restaurants all over this state, and they taste terrific!
You guys should have a Hickhub Full Send reaction video.
Yesssss
When I was young I was Assistant Manager for a place called Friendly's. All of our burgers were served on toast instead of a bun. We were packed all the time with lines outside on the weekend. Really good stuff!
My mouth was watering so much so, that I threw a packet of duck spring rolls in the oven :')
Great reaction guys , love the channel.
Aw yes! A pork roll fan among ya! Its the best! NJ has so many good sandwiches tho, hoagies deserve a mention but thats not really state specific. The philly cheesesteak is on the same type of roll, a hoagie roll as we call em. Always best fresh from the bakery.
Pennsylvania here. The hoagie roll that's used for the philly cheesesteak is called an Amorosa Roll, its specific to Pennsylvania because it's made in Philly as well.

I second this
My uncle raised soft shell crabs on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. You pen the crabs and wait until they molt. You have to ship them quickly because it doesn’t take too long for the new shells to begin to harden. My mom loved deep fried soft shell sandwiches.

I used to make two of those different. The Monte Cristo was 3 slices bread, ham, Am. cheese, bread, turkey, swiss cheese. 4 toothpicks, cut them from corner to corner, dip them in batter and fry like onion rings, then put on plate with powdered sugar and a side of raspberry jam sauce.
The Philly sandwich was the beef, sauteed onions and peppers and add cream cheese. Grill bun and add provolone cheese, at least where I worked in the 90s.

If you think talking with peanut butter in your mouth is rough, a fluffernutter is essentially like being waterboarded by something tasty.
I’m 64 and still make Fluffernutters, with banana.
In-n-Out is the most overrated burger joint eva! It's not bad it's just not great. Oh, and they've got no clue how to make fries!
In and out is only good in Cali and it’s not as good as it use to be..
I grew up eating Runzas! It was a recipe our family picked up living in Kansas and now it's one of my favorite dishes.
I live in Florida and had my first soft shell crab sandwich last year. It was fantastic. Tasted just like a regular fried fish sandwich...
I'm an American and my mouth was watering, us from New Jersey love our Pork Roll, egg, and cheese just ask bloke Dez who has lived in Jersey ....its no wonder we are the fattest country in the world! 🤣🤣
Hi, guys.
*The bird* you're talking about is called an *Ortolan* which is stuffed and to be fattened and I believe soaked in wine. It's a small songbird found in France.
It's been made illegal to eat in hopes of keeping the bird from becoming extinct.
It's eaten whole, and feet first. All but the beak and some bones, that may be too hard for some is eaten.
The reason people cover their heads while eating them is to keep others from being put off by them spitting out any bones, the beak, or any other part they don't swallow.
The covering is also there to keep the aroma to themselves, as it may be too strong to others, and also for those eating it to enjoy the aroma even more. It's also been said that they cover their faces to hide their shame from God.
I don't know about it being served in a potato, but maybe on a bed of lettuce.
I heard about this bird years ago on an episode of "American Dad". Roger (the alien) was preparing to eat one, but since it was "American Dad", and especially with the outrageous Roger doing this, I didn't know what to think, so I looked it up. It was true! LOL! I've known for years, but never met or heard anyone else mention it, until this video. :)
The bird is the ortolon or ortolon bunting.
As a guy from Massachusetts. No one eats fluffernutter sandwhiches after like age 11. The real sandwhich should have been a Pilgrim sandwhich or a nice roast beef roll from Kelleys
A good monti Cristo is three slices of white bread, ham sliced thin, provolone cheese, and instead of maple syrup, you do some grape or raspberry jam. You build the sandwich with the middle slice of bread with the jam on both sides, meat and cheese on the sides. Then you egg dip or tempura batter the sandwich, and pan fry or deep fry it.
The bird delicacy that the Blokes were talking about sounds like "Balut" which is originally from the Philippines. But it's usually eaten right out of the shell instead of a potato. I don't know for sure if it's legal in the US or not. It's a fertilized bird embryo that's boiled and eaten.
If it's illegal in the states, my grandma apparently has a balut dealer and a lot of explaining to do 😂 All jokes aside, I think you can find balut in some Asian grocery stores, at least in California anyway.
It's legal in the States. You'd have to go to a specialty Asian grocery to get it though.
I never thought my mouth could water continuously for almost half an hour.
I'm from New Haven, CT. I've been to Louis' Lunch a couple times.
I'm from Georgia but my favorite sandwich is the italian beef in Chicago. Top tip, don't eat one before a flight.
I’m from Chicago and you never get sick of them.
White gravy is mostly a southern thing. The rest of us love LOVE brown gravy and put it on anything we can LOL
Pate is created by confining a duck or goose in a cage and force feeding it rich foods so the liver is full of the stuff that gets filtered out.
The French bird thing, I heard that they let the dead bird age before they cook it and the towel over their head is to catch the "fragrance".
I'm a Pennsylvania gal, born and raised and rushing toward old-lady-hood. Of course, I've been to Philadelphia and had a steak sandwich, but I promise you that anyone from North Central PA who's had a cheese steak sandwich in Williamsport will be extremely disappointed by a Philly cheese steak. Cheez Whiz? That was such a gut-turner for me the first time I watched them making the famous sandwich at Gino's. In Williamsport it's provolone on that hot steak and it's loaded with fried and raw onions, lettuce, tomato and mayo. YUMMMMMMy! Now THAT'S a cheese steak. Our "regular" or Italian subs are better than any others, too. And then there are cosmos, which are a hoagie/sub which is placed under a broiler until the cheese melts and starts to bubble before it's served. I just finished a club sandwich of Virginia Baked Ham, American cheese, tomato and cole slaw on traditional three slice sandwich. Very good.
Thousand Island is ketchup, mayo, sweet pickle relish, and often a little bit of fine chopped onion and/or rinsed, chopped capers or fine diced hard boiled egg.
I about died at the end when you mentioned a kangaroo burger. Back in the early '80s a big American burger chain contracted for hamburger from an Australian supplier. Along with the beef they got but didn't use mislabeled or unlabeled horse meat and kangaroo meat.
I love dipped Italian beef! My husband gets his double dipped! I like to put some of the gravy on my fries too!
Main difference between fry sauce and Thousand Island is thickness. Fry sauce is completely smooth without the finely chopped onions and pickles in Thousand Island dressing.
In Chicago, most people eat their Italian Beef standing at a counter...legs far apart and as far from the counter as you can comfortably get...so the juice spills on the floor and not on your clothes.
It’s a regional technique, like the way New Yorkers fold their pizza slices.
I'm from PA and gotta say, the philly cheese steak is amazing especially with cheese wiz which is like that melty liquid cheese you guys were talking about. Except here you'd call it a "wiz wit" if you want that kinda cheese lol
Brats are usually cooked in beer in the US
The raw beef thing ur talking bout it Steak Tar Tar. It's amazing. Always I use to be a butcher, and as long as u sterilize ur knife consistently while ur cutting the meat of choice (mine always being filet mignon) I would cut a thin layer of it and eat it raw. Without a doubt some of the best tasting meat ever. Btw never got sick from doing it. Main reason why I didnt waa because it was freshly opened and did it right away and second is because of wut I said earlier I sanitize my knife between every step of the process leading up to cutting the thin layer of beef off to eat. But give it a try guys cause it really is great. Just make sure to buy the meat still in the original packaging with no leaks in the package and use a new/very clean knife and sanitize through the whole process and u will be fine. Btw only beef guys lol.
