pagan696 Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 this came up during a bet last week so i thought i'd throw it out to you all.when local politicians go against their peers in bets or wagers, they like to offer food or something "close to home".being from NC our bets often include: eastern NC style barbeque (pulled pork, vinegar based, very tart, very good), Texas Pete hot sauce, Lance crackers, SunDrop citrus soda (think Mtn. Dew with a kick), Duke's mayo (a true southern mayo), Neese's Livermush.i'm kinda glad that tobbacco has fallen from favor, not like anyone would want case of 'chaw or smokes, right? haha!what is your area known for?

MrEleganza Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 I moved from Akron, Ohio to Delaware about a year ago. It's here that I discovered a local, um, delicacy known as scrapple. Before I explain what it is, anyone already know?I also discovered moving here that I could no longer get jo-jo's with my chicken, which makes me wonder how wide a swath jo-jo's are known in. Are jo-jo's an ohio thing, a midwest thing, and everywhere-but the eastern seaboard thing?And before I explain what they are, anyone already know?

yh Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 In St. Louis, naturally any wager includes a variety of Anheuser Busch products. In addition to the suds there's usually something called Toasted Ravioli involved. For the uninitiated, Toasted Ravioli is ravioli (usually meat) that is not boiled but rather is dipped in egg wash and Italian breadcrumbs, deep fried, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and served with marinara sauce for dipping. When done right, the crunch of the breadcrumbs gives way to a chewy pasta "skin" and then the piping hot filling. When done wrong, as can unfortunately occur frequently if you go to the "wrong" place in St. Louis - and there are sadly many of these places - you get a too-crunchy overdone mess with dry, mealy filling. Finally, another St. Louis export is usually thrown into the mix, and given the first two items it's a good thing to have around -- TUMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagan696 Posted November 25, 2003 Author Share Posted November 25, 2003 ok, so what is a "jo-jo"?scrapple i'm familair with.slurpees have been extinct here since most of the 7-11s were switched over to (millions of independent) generic quickie marts.Keith's and Screech sound like a nice ale (correct?)Johnnys sauce (no idea).

MrEleganza Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Scrapple is a breakfast food, kind of like sausage only square and flat, less flavorful, and sort of....spongy. It's sort of the Spam of breakfast meats.Jo jo's are, more specifically, jo jo potatoes, and a staple with any takeout chicken dinner in ohio. It's basically a potato that's sliced into quarters legthwise and fried or deep-fried. DAMN, are they good, I miss them.I have seen them in other parts of the country as well, but since they are not as popular as in Ohio, they are usually given some unimaginative name like "Potato Wedges"I don't know what Johnny's sauce is, either.

Fusebazell Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Johnny's Sauce goes on hot dogs and burgers. Any more guesses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Geez, so many posts dedicated to the nature of Johnny's Sauce and nobody's said anything dirty yet? I guess we save that for the BOTW thread, eh? In any event, there is a Johnny's Sauce in Oklahoma City that's basically a hickory based bbq sauce (very smoky and almost no sweetness), but that doesn't appear to be what these people are talking about.Or is it?

-kj Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Ok, any wager with the Lou involves an Amighetti's special and some Imo's, that's what I'm sayin'.

omnivore Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Our college plays its arch rival about 14 miles down the road in the 6th oldest rivalry in college football. Anyway, every year they wager a bunch of turkeys and can goods to the homeless shelter in town of the team that wins.That's the best I could do. Being from New Jersey, I dunno what we'd wager since our teams might get on the turnpike and leave.I'm in Illinois now, so maybe we'd wager lots of corn.

But day old Imo's black olive pizza straight outta the fridge - that's what I'm talkin' about man.Mockba, you'll find it interesting that tonight and Friday night are Imo's busiest days of the year with the lone exception of the Super Bowl. So many St. Louis expatriates back in town for T-Day gotta get their Imo's fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Clemente Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Nova Scotia's specialty can be summed up in one fantastc delicious word:DONAIRS!!!!Basically, you take your ground beef, add some spices, bake it as a loaf, then sliced pieces of this loaf and fry them with a pita. Serve the beef in the pita and top it withwith diced onions, tomatoes and donair sauce, which consists of milk, vinegar and sugar (and maybe cottage cheese) Delicious and extremely filling.Local drink? Eh.....does tarpond water count? (No one really drinks that.)--Roger "Time?" Clemente Follow me on Twitter if you care: @Animal_Clans.My opinion may or may not be the same as yours. The choice is up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
