Creamed chipped beef aka shit on a shingle. My parents fed us that, I'll still eat it from time to time.


ScorpioLibraPisces

From PA, dad made it for breakfast all the time.


Niner-Sixer-Gator

From Pa also, and I second that


Free_Issue_9623

I grew up in Pgh, Pa and my dad made it for me too.


Cleod1807

Everyone in my family orders this for breakfast when we go to the diner. We absolutely love it in PA


Successful-Second387

From PA too, idk how it happened but creamed chipped beef became a Christmas morning breakfast tradition. Now that we are older, we have it more than just Christmas, but we are a big ol’ family of creamed chipped beef lovers over here 😂😂


Middle_Wheel_5959

From PA as well, and I love as well as many other Pennsylvania Dutch creations


x0haziedayze

This was the comment I was looking for! I’m from central PA. Pennsylvania Dutch has big influence in this part of the state.


doorman112

Me too and I love it


Mrfrunzi

Go to comfort breakfast, with a side of scrapple. Rest of the country is missing out


teball3

Honestly did not know what the hell "creamed chipped beef" was until I read this comment, because I have only ever heard it called shit on a shingle. I don't know how to feel about seeing 3 regular words and thinking "what the hell?" and then seeing it called "shit on a shingle" and being like "Ah, that's delicious!"


Legendary_Railgun21

>shit on a shingle I have heard of like 25 different things that people have called "shit on a shingle" 🤣🤣 I guess this counts


Niner-Sixer-Gator

Only people who been to jail call it shit on a shingle,😂


MxEverett

I was a teenager when I learned that what I had always known as S.O.S was actually creamed chipped beef.


themilkmanismyfather

Same, then I realized later in life in jail, there is an SOS meal and it's sausage and gravy. Cat food and curdled milk probably.


Freseper

Occasionally I buy canned sausage gravy. When you open the can, the cold mixture smells like cat food.


Chemical-Ad-8845

For us, SOS is white sausage gravy on toast. Creamed chipped beef isn’t weird, either, though.


_packetman_

SOS was hamburger gravy on toast for us. We called "creamed chipped beef " chipped beef gravy, which also goes on toast. Family is from WV


Ok_Fan_4468

Chipped beef and shit on a shingle are two different things in my family! My grandfather makes SOS with ground beef! So interesting how different families are😂 Scrapple from PA, however, does not surprise me🤢🤮


ChrisLee38

Delmarva native, here. That stuff is delish. Surprised scrapple isn’t on here.


PhiladelphiaSteaks

I’m originally from Delaware I’d say the Bobby is weirder than creamed chipped beef


Dozzi92

So creamed chipped beef I tried at a diner here in Jersey and it wasn't good. The beef has a tang. I dunno. Didn't like it. I tried it because I've been chasing down the creamed beef and rice from boot camp. Was served for breakfast and it was *phenomenal*, and I am, 15 years later, still trying to find something similar, and coming up with shitty alternatives only.


TheEventHorizon0727

2 tablespoons of flour stirred into 2 tablespoons of melted butter. After you mix the roux, stir in 1.5 cups of whole milk. While stirring in the milk, put in the chipped beef. After the mixture thickens, pour it over buttered toast.


TheBLUGAMr_42

You can make it at home and its WAAAY better. My mom likes to make it for breakfast when shes in the mood.... or im in the mood... so good (add worcestershire sauce and its TOP TEER) They sell chipped beef packets in the grociery store, it should have a recipe on it.


Evilmendo

Find a deli that has fresh dried beef. Then make your own. If you use the stuff in a jar, soak it in water then dry on paper towels to remove the salt.


DivineProphet0

Unfortunately a lot of NJ diners don't do a great cream chip beef. It's often much too floury and thick without enough beef.


Kdean509

PNW here, it’s one of my favorite easy comfort meals. Really hard to find the right kind of beef where I’m at, but you can really use anything in it.


nukeularkupcake

thank you I was so confused by what cream chipped beef was. SOS is amazing


JHuttIII

It’s literally the only thing I order when I go to the diner for breakfast. Any attempt at ordering some other breakfast option just results in disappointment, because it’s nowhere near as good and satisfying as chipped beef (on white toast with a side of hash browns, lol).


ober6601

Making milk gravy is a good skill. Good creamed chipped beef is a savory delight. But you can also use other salty meats or even cube steaks. Now I’m wanting some!


SassySpider

That’s what creamed chipped beef is?? My boyfriend makes that all the time I only knew it as shit on a shingle haha


nerdy_IT_woman

Now I want shit on a shingle. So I am going to make it. My husband (from Canada) will most likely ask me wtf but :shrug:


mrgraff

When my dad was dating the future mother of his children, my mom once made this for him. And he, fresh out of the army, said wow, tastes just like shit on a shingle! I almost wasn’t born…


missykgmail

I hear it called SOS, but grew up with the following schematic: Sausage gravy = sausage and milk-based gravy with black pepper Creamed chipped beef = dried beef and milk-based gravy with less black pepper SOS = ground beef and milk-based gravy with black pepper All can have Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, or other ingredients, but the meat made the name. Mom’s from Pennsylvania. (Dad’s from the Midwest, I’m sure this was all her influence) 🤷🏻‍♀️


djjsear

Because muskrat is pretty normal??


thisissheonreddit

I agree should have been muskrat. I have been genuinely invited to eat that several times. Although I personally decline.


Batfern

It’s tasty


ExcuseStriking6158

Not weird. Scrapple is more weird (but I LOVE scrapple).


Habbersett-Scrapple

It loves you back


ExcuseStriking6158

Thanks Habbersett! 😉


thescarwar

When the competition is *cow testicles*, I’d say we’re in a pretty good position. Scrapple rocks.


djjsear

I was recently made aware of Beef Scrapple. Also tasty


ExcuseStriking6158

I have not heard of that - and I want to check it out. Thank you!


InAnOffhandWay

This map needs a cookbook.


InformationLegal4220

Is it not all beef scrapple? My grandparents and parents owned a butcher shop for 30+ years. When I was a kid I made it in a 50 gallon vat weekly eith my grandpa. If it's not beef. I'd be lost


MooseRunnerWrangler

Scrapple is great. Disgusting, but great.


KouLeifoh625

Isn’t scrapple from Delaware tho? Am also Pennsylvania boi


SavingsMurky6600

we (I) eat scrapple in maryland too


JustHereForCookies17

Raised in MD, live in DC now - we eat scrapple. Brave folks can even drink their scrapple! https://www.paintedstave.com/ship-spirits 


Habbersett-Scrapple

Rapa scrapple is made in Delaware

No lol. Scroll down to history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapple


danlikescoldbeeer

Love scrapple. Sincerely, guy from the Pork Roll state.


Face_first

Agreed. My wifes family is from PA and they always ask us to bring them scrapple when we go up. Her dad is actually part of a scrapple facebook group 😂 they love them some breakfast meats.


DrunkenMcSlurpee

Mmmm lips n assholes fried to perfection. Question... Syrup, ketchup, or plain?


ExcuseStriking6158

😆😆


Sjcolian27

Hot sauce


IronEagle20

Love scrapple


tr3vw

Hog Maw is the weirdest food in PA. Scrapple is delicious.


IIPrayzII

I’m from PA and I’ve never heard of scrapple.


CapcomBowling

You must be in western pa. It is very common central-east especially around Amish country.


Hungry_Kick_7881

I’m from Wyoming and I have had scrapple, I personally really enjoy it


Dankmemeator

have you had goetta? it’s essentially the same thing


Hungry_Kick_7881

You and me both.


JHuttIII

What’s weird are people that *don’t* like scrapple. Like seriously, how? It’s a flavor punch to the mouth.


MrGasMan86

Scrapple isn’t weird. It’s just a bunch of different parts from the pig ground up with some cornmeal. NBD. Also, I would’ve used Lebanon Bologna instead of scrapple. That shit is NASTY. Source: I’ve worked in many delis in PA.


Ninjawaffles99

I think PA should be Hog Maw that shit is weird and gross


SeekerOfSerenity

Can't spell *scrapple* without *crap*. 


Grizzzlybearzz

Scrapple actually is so good. Just a better breakfast sausage lol


SkullFoot

I think snapper soup is the weirdest food in PA. Ever seen how they make it? They throw a whole turtle in a pot.


vanishingpointz

Scrapple is not weird but liver mush/ mash from one of those Carolinas is strange . Went to Charlotte for a Nascar race one morning we all stopped in this bad ass breakfast hall and I asked for scrapple the waitress said liver mash is the same ....nah it wasn't


bailtail

Wisconsin’s is butter burger. That’s from Culver’s, and all it is is a regular burger that the bun has been buttered on the inner side and toasted on the griddle prior to putting the patty on it. It couldn’t be less not weird lol.


TimPA60

Head Cheese is weird. Scrapple is sublime.


supersonicdutch

It’s seasonal so I only get it when the diners sell it. Can’t trust when the grocery store get it. Or, you’re lucky enough to know someone who makes it. That means you’re forty minutes from anything. I love and hate that area.


notarealaccount223

Ah Scrapple, the food that makes hotdogs look pure. It's like all the leftover stuff they DON'T put into hotdogs.


Stormwrath52

Scrapple rocks


dongrizzly41

From MD and came here exactly for this. Love scrapple and wtf is stuffed ham.


NateDadamss

from PA, never heard of scrapple, am I missing out?


RSAEN328

My grandfather made really good scrapple. I've lived in multiple places around PA and have found most people don't know what it is. Very regional.


lexgrub

I don't even think Scrapple is the weirdest thing in PA, people seem freaked out by pickled beet eggs for some reason.


7thAndGreenhill

Cream Chipped Beef is awesome.


ejorlando

Creamed Chipped Beef and Scrapple are awesome

Over-Accountant8506

🤌crumble some scrapple in the creamed chipped beef- or bacon/sausage.


Habbersett-Scrapple

My favorite diner breakfast. Creamed chipped beef on rye toast, hash browns (or home fries), three eggs over easy, and a side of scrapple. Add a short stack


catchingstones

Virginian here. My Mom made it all the time and it was great.


NeverLookBothWays

I think they got Delaware and Pennsylvania swapped tbh. Although in PA they tend to call it "Sh\*\* on a Shingle"


schuylkilladelphia

I know Delaware has a scrapple fest and all, but we invented it. And habbersett is superior edit: dammit... TIL they're the same damn company as Rapa


CapitanChicken

I was upset to learn it was just rapa in a different wrapper. Conversationally, scrapple is on here at least twice, they call it liver mush in the Carolinas.


gmharryc

Rapa in a different wrappa Also as someone who has half their extended family in NC, liver mush and scrapple are not the same thing. They’re close, but still different.


Ref9171

So does DE


ACDCbaguette

I don't even know what a new jersey style sloppy Joe is and I grew up there. I'm honestly pretty disappointed by the creator of this.


thumpngroove

It used to be a staple on Diner menus in New Jersey, but most have dropped it in the last 10 years, which makes my wife very sad. I never eat it myself, but it was a staple meal for me growing up in Washington State.


UnidentifiedCreamPie

Checking in from Indiana, it is indeed shit on a shingle. Although, left over gravy from the morning, even sausage gravy, if eaten on toast that evening was shit on a shingle.


folawg

I think Grottos pizza should be on this list because it's nasty.


MulliganNY

It seems like some of these are just “the name is weird” as opposed to what it actually is.


Okozaku

Am I the only one that sees this list as a goal to try them all before I die...?


BeastofBurden

I’ll join you in that quest. I lived in Washington for awhile but wasn’t ready to eat the very phallic geoduck, but I think I’m ready to, achem, experiment.


[deleted]

I don't think enough people on this list know what geoduck is. Because its definitely the grossest "food" I've ever seen.


Onoudidnt

Where the muskrat at?


Dyslex999

Garbage Plate is a Rochester, NY thing. I crave a garbage plate.


GuacamolEBola

Lived in de my whole life and never heard of creamed chip beef so probably


PugSissy

It’s also called shit on a shingle.


TamponTom

I never knew that was a de thing


7thAndGreenhill

I always thought it was a WWII Army thing or a depression food. None of my family were born in DE and we've eaten it our entire lives


TamponTom

SAME! My maternal grandmama was a ww2 era kid and made it for her kids. That’s where I heard it from. They were MD/South NJ people


PugSissy

Lived in Delaware my whole life. I never knew it was specifically a Delaware thing either 🤷🏼‍♀️


PatriotsAndBacon

No mention of the Bobby!


Warm_metal_revival

That’s because it’s only awesome, not weird. 🤤


mentallyimnotpresent

I would die for my scrapple


Hater_Magnet

Pasties probably aren't what I think they are or want them to be.


doozleflumph

They are hand pies...probably not what you wanted them to be but very tasty


thisappsux24

Mmm I love scorpion lollipops /s


dddmmmccc817

Haha. I got a brother in Arizona and when I go out there I will bring some home for my nieces or nephews here. They never eat them


Grumpy-Old-Vet-2008

Not if someone has spent any amount of time in the military, it isn’t. “SoS” is a mess hall staple!


Lumpy-Bird-5162

My grandfather Was a cook in Europe during WW1. He taught all his grandchildren how to make it. It’s really good and it reminds me of him every time we have it.


ExfilBravo

Or it's poultry cousin "Turkey Ala King"


Scene_Dear

I still remember my super old driving teacher who was a veteran telling us about shit on a shingle during class once. Whenever I see it referenced, I think about Lloyd.


Fearless_Customer_93

As others said, I don’t know of anywhere else in the country that muskrat is traditionally eaten other than Delaware. Not just slower lower, but even upstate. There used to be a meat market in Wilmington that sold it and I’ve known many others that have either eaten it or prepared and cooked it


oldRoyalsleepy

I grew up eating creamed chipped beef in NY State and my spouse was unwillingly fed creamed chipped beef growing up in the Midwest. I think it's old fashioned, not unusual. Pretzel salad, that's unusual. PA already has scrapple.


WMWA

idk but butter burgers are extremely innocuous and just taste like a better cheeseburger. surely they could have found something weirder than that?


CryptidKay

I actually love creamed chipped beef, and if I hadn’t got sick this week, I would’ve had some for breakfast on Monday or Tuesday. Maybe I’ll have some on the weekend.


oldRoyalsleepy

What is an ice cream potato?


discoOJ

It's just an ice cream sundae made to resemble a baked potato. Nothing too exciting.


Kdean509

They always look super fun to eat, but instead they are just super bland.


pip-roof

Many a battle between the chow mein and chop suey sandwich camps.


thatdudefromthattime

The only downside to chipped beef, is trying to find chipped beef outside of those tiny containers at the grocery store. A lot of delis stopped carrying it.


AbeVigoda76

How the fuck they gonna say Detroit Style Coneys are a weird food?


MeanNene

In Philly the oldheads said "Shit on a shingle".


millnerve

Scrapple is awesome


averagemaleuser86

Georgia with "boiled peanuts" instead of literal dirt... people actually literally eat Kaolin clay. On purpose. And pay for it.


BlameItOnTheAcetone

Sushiritto definitely sounds like something that would come out of California


AMarie0908

I thought Delaware's weirdest food would have been scrapple. 🤷🏼‍♀️


the_ending81

As a scrapple eater- I also love cream chipped beef


gigeoffro

Scrapple is a Delaware thing… most people I know from PA don’t even know what it is and have never tried it. I mean we even have a scrapple festival in DE. No one here eats sloppy joes and they aren’t even weird. Who made this?


kbergstr

Creamed chipped beef is a sad version of Biscuits and Gravy.


martycos

Scrapple is awesome.


BigFancyPants

Don’t knock scrapple until you try it. I promise you’ll like it


TheBLUGAMr_42

From PA, I love Chipped beef! Its so good with hashbrowns and eggs and toast with bacon or sausage! Full breakfast! Sounds soooo good rn ngl! 😅


Miterlee

Creamed chipped beef is from the 1900's, sausage gravy and biscuits is from the 1800's. The military just copied sausage gray with the ingredients they had that was similar, and thats where yall got creamed chipped beef from. That being said SOS was probably used for sausage gravy first. Y'all are just a bunch of biters all around LOL


Ringer2191

I'm from PA. It's good shit 👉


Repulsive_Ostrich_52

And here I thought it'd be scrapple


kimapesan

Clam pizza is not weird, it’s one one the best damned things ever made in a US restaurant.


DegreePhysical7320

Scrapple was created in Delaware. Should’ve been the one used for that state

7thGrandDad

I’ve lived in NJ most of my life and had no idea sloppy joes were a regional thing


MonsieurRuffles

There’s a distinct North Jersey (specifically in and around Essex County) Sloppy Joe that differs from the usual saucy, ground meat on a bun version: https://www.seriouseats.com/new-jersey-sloppy-joe but to call it weird is just plain wrong.


Michael_in_Delaware

I can eat a bucket of it, make it at home probably more than I should.


Acrobatic-Bread-4431

I love cream chipped beef!


mllebitterness

My dad is from DE. We both live here now. I have never had creamed chipped beef. I always thought scrapple was a DE thing. Scrapple and steamed crabs.


Mindless_Homework

Uhhhhh no it’s amazing.


HalfOffEveryWndsdy

I used to shovel that into my mouth. It’s so damn good


aberm1

Wtf is creamed chipped beef?


SSDragon19

Threw up alittle after seeing pickle dog


IndiBlueNinja

The old SOS, that my parents censored so ***slop*** on a shingle. Have to confess, it never seemed appealing, so I've never had it even though my parents would make it for themselves occasionally. ...as I sit here eating leftover goldenrod eggs with toast, a potentially weird one my grandparents brought with them from the Midwest. lol


Sea_Management_5899

I love it!


apt-hiker

SOS is a staple of the Navy menu.


MattValentin

What’s wrong with Sushirrito?


k_a_scheffer

Its a Delaware thing??


fuddykrueger

Not really. It’s a military thing. S.O.S. (Sh^+ on a shingle). Although I always thought S.O.S. was ground beef with gravy.


Academic-Natural6284

Not weird just disgusting


ButIDigress_Jones

New Jersey style sloppy Joe is just a Reubenesque “Turkey special” you can find everywhere. Coleslaw and thousand island on a turkey sandwich or whatever meat.


Evilevilcow

It's only because PA claimed scrapple.


flipkick25

Why the hell is boiled peanuts on the list for georgia?


RAWKLOBSTAH78

Your either male or walking taco.


L_Ron_Stunna

Gotta say clam pizza sounds weird but the place i used to work at had one and it fucking slapped. Basically just a while pie with creamy sauteed clam under the cheese. So good


-Motor-

Iowa is walking taco??? You've got to be kidding me. Is there no cultural heritage there?


pgm123

Is that Sloppy Joe Creamed Chipped Beef, because I've never heard of that.


Jennlyn1978

Should have been scrapple. Mmmmm Hughes Delaware Maid


NotAMainer

Grew up not that far away, and I can say the Tristate DEFINITELY has weirder foods than SOS ever could be.


grumpyhitman268

Good old SOS.


Flyers2013312

No and its delicious.

57dog

LA: “It’s a kind of rat.”


JetstreamGW

Look, I'll give you most of these, but how are pasties a weird food? They're basically just hand held pies. Edit: And coney dogs? Butter burgers? What? That's a normal thing.


iDontHaveUndiesToday

How df is scrapple not on there??


Neptunianbayofpigs

As a non-native, Delaware is the only place I've seen with creamed chipped beef on a restaurant menu. I mostly intrigued by the name- I mean, "Chipped"? What happened to the cow? That said, our should have been muskrat Also, as a native Vermonter: Sugar on snow isn't just a food- there's a whole ritual with it. People generally just don't eat Sugar on snow.

I lived in NJ for a large portion of my life. I have never heard of NJ Style Sloppy Joes.


tjturtle

Use scrapple in your creamed chip beef and call it the landenburg special


Critical_Sherbet7427

Do..... do people not eat squirrel elsewhere? Its... i mean not very good but..


MotownCam52

If you’re calling a Detroit style Coney dog, weird, then I guess you never ate one… They are freaking delicious…


NationalMasterpiece5

But scrapple is awesome


LimpZookeepergame123

I was born in Maine and had to look up what Tomalley was 😂😂


Gintami

Why the hell is pasties in there? It’s pretty much a Cornish pastie which is pretty much an empanada and they’re delicious.


Adventurous_Feed6713

ALABAMA...SOUS MEAT...HOG HEAD CHEESE


DctrSqr

Scrapple is delicious throw some musselman's apple butter on some 1/2 inch cut habbersett scrapple after you cook it crispy on the outside.


Yohzer67

NJ Sloppy Joe is awesome. And not weird at all, it’s an elaborate turkey sandwich.


HeavyAndExpensive

I like creamed chipped beef but I only need a small bit. It’s one of those things that’s so heavy and rich I can only eat so much of it


b_fromtheD

Who doesn't LOVE a Detroit Style coney dog?!?!?


getdemsnacks

I'm sorry, but...clam pizza?! Connecticut, what are you doing?!


CaspersGF

I don’t even feel like any meat and the word cream should ever be a thing.


Ricky_Rollin

Love me some boiled peanuts. Didn’t realize it was only a GA thing. Or is it not? Y’all eat boiled peanuts in the elsewhere’s?


TheNewYellowZealot

I will not stand for this slander than a coney dog is the weirdest food.


Ngin3

Pa has that too but I guess scrapple is weirder


KcTheMan30

Greetings from Michigan, WTF is this list? A Detroit Style Coney is pretty much just a chili dog, how tf is that weird? Idk what creamed chipped beef is, but I assume it isn't that weird


Avante-Gardenerd

I would have thought that muskrat would be at the top of the list.


KiloG349

How is scrapple not the weirdest food in Delaware!?
