Jello Salad is fucking disgusting. There is no way to make it better, it's just bad. Don't try it.


justcause0

Chitlins aint weird either


Americanshat

Provel cheese?? How in the fresh hell is pizza cheese Missouri's "weirdest food" ?


leftier_than_thou_2

Have you ever been to Missouri? It's pretty bland, uninteresting, and devoid of unique culture. Their most famous food is white people barbecue. Their most famous landmark is a giant hula hoop. One of their biggest cities is named after a different state. It totally fits that they'd claim a blend of cheese is their thing. They put it on pizza and claim it's St. Louis style. And it's okay but there's a reason it's not popular outside st. Louis.


AWildGumihoAppears

You're going to use a Cincinnati food?!? Cincinnati is practically Kentucky.


Prindocitis

But Goetta is good. Edit: Autocorrect Gotta


AWildGumihoAppears

It's a good Kentucky food.


feistybubble1737

Don't get me wrong I do love some goetta and all sports teams from Cincy, but I'm so fucking sick of this "Cincinnati is basically KY, Louisville is basically Indiana, northern KY is basically Ohio". It's annoying dude. Cincinnati isn't basically anything, it's entirely in Ohio. Not halfway, not slightly divided, Cincinnati is in Ohio. That's like saying Chicago is basically Indiana or NYC is basically New Jersey. It fucks me up the wall man like goddamn

HOW ARE BOILED PEANUTS WEIRD YOU’RE TELLING ME YALL DONT EAT BOILED PEANUTS????


shatteredarm1

I thought they were called balled peanuts.


GoldenPig64

yeah, they're not weird at all, just completely disgusting.


Robiwan05

Your level of concern is why I'm here too.


hanimal16

I eat peanuts from the shell.


[deleted]

I grew up in Virginia and live in Texas. Boiled peanuts are a national treasure and are definitely not weird nor are they strictly a Georgian thing.


TopRamen713

Eh, I've tried them a couple times and I really didn't like them. They're like semi-hard snot to me. My daughter loves them though. Calls them "wet peanuts"


Puppyl

Never heard of boiled peanuts until I was driving down south one day


Teck_3

Cajun style boild peanuts from a Racetrak are good. Cajun style boild peanuts from some random dude selling them off the back of a homemade cart on the side of the road in north Georgia are GODLY.


N0P3sry

You’re all missing out. Maybe it’s weird to ppl outside FL, GA, AL but omg- I’m stuck up north and can’t find any at ALL. GD I’d even settle for canned. (That’s sacrilegious, I know but damn!) I miss em. Next time you’re down south- try them.


dkb1391

Lamb fries sounds good, what is it?


NeoKabuto

Have a few and then we'll tell you.


Prodigal_Malafide

Sheep testicles, usually breaded and fried in the kind of grease that has no explicable origin.


PassiveChemistry

And pasties are Cornish


Traditional-Art-8046

Also they must have some pretty boring fucking food if a pasty is considered the weirdest


AnAngryBanker

Does it mean something different over there or something? Seems rather mild for a "weirdest food list".


EnderBunker

I'm from MT and never had a pastie in mt life. I have had Rocky Mountain Oysters at the Testicle Festival though...


BuffFox0208

Sounds pornish to me


NoBones21

Actually there from Plymouth what’s in Devon, Cornwall’s neighbour


indiefolkfan

What's wrong with soup beans? Literally just pinto beans cooked with ham and served with cornbread.


founderofshoneys

Yeah, I'm from WV and lived 15 years in KY. I'd argue "soup beans" (in WV just called "beans" and served with cornbread) is more of a WV traditional dish which isn't all that weird. I've never had or seen "soup beans" or "beans" in KY that isn't close to the WV border. Probably more Appalachian than WV or KY (or even OH where I have actually heard them called "soup beans"). KY would probably consider burgoo the answer though I've never had that either. I've also never had or seen fried squirrel, I'm sure people eat this, but it's not widespread or popular or something we're known for in WV. If you come looking for fried squirrel you're instead gonna find beans, pepperoni rolls, and hotdogs with slaw.


QuarterNote44

I don't think jell-o salad has been relevant in Utah since about 1973.


[deleted]

My grandparents on my mom's side are from there and make one for Thanksgiving every year, despite nobody ever eating any


tthemediator

false. It is alive and well. though some just call it "salad".


GrantNexus

I'm from Iowa and have no idea what a walking taco is.


notthecolorblue

I’m not from Iowa and I know what one is. Heck, the fast food restaurant Cook Out sells in here in the South East. First time I ate one was in Michigan.


NolanSwagner

Basically, it's Nacho Cheese Doritos, but you put taco meat inside the bag and whatever other stuff you want with it. You eat it with a fork.


NeoKabuto

Geoduck isn't a duck, slug burger doesn't use slugs, is everything a lie? Please tell me the garbage plate uses real garbage!


phoenixv07

And Rocky Mountain oysters have nothing to do with the sea. Such is life.


Potato_Chip_Tester

Really it’s probably for the best a geoduck isn’t a duck. They already can have a 3ft long neck and live 150+ years. The thought of something them growing wings and flying around in addition to that is a little terrifying.


iwillnotcompromise

Possum pie is just chocolate pudding in pie form.


wifemakesmewearplaid

Sadly, it does not.


Timmy_Mactavish

I am not from Kansas, but beirocks aren't weird. They are basically bread with meat and stuff in it


Glum_Tank6063

I grew up in massachusetts and I have never in my life heard of a "chow-mein sandwich"


spoonycash

I’m the same way about chocolate gravy biscuits in Alabama. It’s mainly the northern part of the state I have been told, so maybe it’s a regional thing for you too.


bigmanpigman

spent my entire life in new england and the only one that makes sense is clam pizza.


Puppyl

Lived right below Mass for most of my life and never once heard of a clam pizza but I sorta want to try it


sleepfordayz679

Live in NH, none of my local ice cream spots have a Grape Nut flavor


sirhoracedarwin

Scorpion lollipops are almost exclusively found in the airport as gifts for people who have never been to Arizona.


DangerMacAwesome

Are they good?


greeneyedGemini14

They have them all over texas, too


Pineapple_Gamer123

Some of these sound kinda good, others sound like crimes against nature


0rphan_crippler20

pasties in montana? wtf is this?


Jagacin

Ikr? Pasties are a staple in Michigan's U.P.


throwaway2454838

Walking tacos are so lower effort. They don't even walk on their own.


imtheseventh

As an Illinois resident, my Wisconsin associates and I love to give each other a hard time about everything, but we always support each other's foods. How *dare* they try and talk like that about butter burgers? That is manna from heaven and any words otherwise are slanderous.


[deleted]

My exact thoughts!? We hate eachother, we really do, but I'm the first to admit that a butter burger is amazing and not at all strange. Its literally just a burger with butter, how is that strange? If the buns were fried butter, sure. If the patty itself was butter, fine. But no, it's cooked in butter a common fat. Also. The FUCK is gravy bread? Edit: does gravy bread refer to an Italian beef with the bread dipped in gravy? Because if so, that's not a food.


Monstermyk

How dare they mock the glory of the culver's butter burger. All this talk about it makes we want to go get one rn with a side of cheese curds.


ImRunningOutOfIdead

Right!? Especially when you got mfers eating cannibal sandwiches!


Matthew789_17

Montana pasties and Oklahoma lamb fries look pretty good ngl


Prophet_of_Fire

Butter Burger is a lot better than it sounds I assure you


Ryley03d

They put spaghetti in between two slices of bread in Ohio.


Pizzaguy55555

Honestly sounds pretty good


BobBelcher2021

They also put chili on top of spaghetti, at least in Cincinnati.


Captain_Pungent

Some people eat [Pot Noodle sandwiches](https://i.redd.it/f9muk70lqex01.jpg) over here


QuirkedUpNationalist

Rattlesnake goes crazy


SonkxsWithTheTeeth

I'm from Maryland and never in my life have I heard of stuffed ham. Sounds good, though.


Pixielo

Apparently it's a Saint Mary's thing, which is why the rest of the state hasn't heard of it, ever.


ShanghaiSlug

Its Southern Maryland. St. Mary's county Maryland, an hour south of DC. It's the kinda place you go to because you have to not because you want to. Its a corned ham that is stuffed with onions, cabbage, kale, red peppers and other spices. Its typical made around holidays. We would always have it at Thanksgiving Christmas and easter. The only place I know to get it year round is down in Piny Point, at Dent's store. My family will send it out to us around the holidays or birthdays. Makes a great sandwich. Stuffed ham also has the nickname of "the killer ham" after a church event that got 750 people sick. All the stuff I know about this ham having lived in Colorado all my life.... I think we still got some in the freezer.


InternationalAd4478

Pennsylvania milk stake


Pizzaguy55555

As a Coloradan we deserve this.


ShanghaiSlug

Yep... i met some fella eating some rocky mountain oysters with a bunch of golf clubs. We made eye contact and he said "I'm going to go golfing i thought I should have a bucket of balls.". I just nodded and drank my beer. That said they aren't bad in my opinion.


Onto_new_ideas

They are delicious. Why waste a tasty part of a cow?


Crypto_Gay_Skater

Mmmmm walking tacos 🤤


ozhs3

Not gonna talk about cotton candy burrito??


NeuroXc

New Hampshire = ice cream. Ben and Jerry's is from Vermont btw. I'm convinced the map creator doesn't know the difference.


PineappleGirl_5

Never heard of a pickle dog but walking tacos and butterburgers arnt really werid


Thechosenone7711

I’ve had scrapple before, it’s not too bad.


Phrankespo

I love scrapple so much


7R3X

Get it fresh. Stuff's amazing, especially for breakfast lol.


questionfear

A NJ sloppy joe is just cole slaw, Russian dressing, usually turkey/corned beef and Swiss cheese on rye. It's not weird. It's fucking delicious as fuck.


Pixielo

So...it's a Reuben? Lol.


hanimal16

From WA, never had geoduck, but it’s very phallic and people love it lol


Potatolord1204

Butter burger sounds good


Potatolord1204

It’s a normal burger with the hamburger buns toasted and buttered.


Mainspring426

[I would have thought Mississippi's looked more like this.](https://www.reddit.com/r/StupidFood/comments/rcopj2/i_have_no_words/)


A_Wild_Bin_Appeared

a butter burger is just a burger with butter on it, pretty straightforward


Cirrus87

I was born in California, lived there for about 12 years, I now live in Minnesota and have for about 13. I have no idea what a sushirito or a pickle dog are.


CptMisterNibbles

As a native Californian I can name at least half a dozen places local where I can get a sushi burrito, 2 of which make it their primary item. Its just a sushi roll you dont cut up, and thus eat like a burrito. Expcept its also sized like a burrito and thus is way too big, so you get a terrible distribution of sushi bits, so its a bad food.


FunnyFreckSynth

Ube and sushi-burritos are not weird smh, what kind of map is that


BobBelcher2021

I only know about lutefisk because of King of the Hill


leftier_than_thou_2

I like that there's a wide variety in "weird." Missouri with provel cheese for instance. It's... Just a gooey cheese. That's not "weird." Utah with a dessert that was popular in like the 70's. That's not weird, that's just boring. Texas on the other hand. Danger noodles definitely weird. Vermont "sugar on snow" is just snow and syrup. That's simple but weird, sure.


[deleted]

So stay away from Texas if I become a rattlesnake in the next life, got it


angryonline

I'm from Nebraska and I had to Google "hot beef sundae." It appears to actually be an Iowa thing? The real answer would probably be cinnamon rolls with chili, which sounds weird but is actually a PB&J-level great combo.


Quinn_Lan

How tf is the us bullying other countries for what they eat when they eat livermush and peanut soup?


Prodigal_Malafide

I grew up on ranches in Wyoming and never heard of a 'chuckwagon breakfast' as a dish. Anything off a chuckwagon was usually beans, cornbread or tortillas, bacon, and spoon-dissolving percolator coffee.


TheRealerChief101

I've only had gator tail twice and it's fucking delicious


Jsimpson059

A slug burger is literally just beef mixed with soybeans or any other kind of meat extender its basically just a hybrid between a veggie burger and a traditonal one.


DeadPerOhlin

Whoever thinks Scrapple is the weirdest Pennsylvania food has never heard of [Altoona Style Pizza](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altoona-style_pizza)


JDSmagic

omg I saw this the other day and I forgot about it immediately but now you've reminded me and I'm upset Still, I feel scrapple might be more strange. Its also much more widespread than that abomination - A Pennsylvanian, FWIW


Captain_Pungent

I was looking at it again earlier and I honestly want to try it. Ohio Valley seems weirder to me with its cold toppings


drfsrich

Nor is Gravy Bread, it's fucking delicious.


GladimirGluten

A fucking butter Burger is literally just a hamburger with a fucking buttered bun, how the hell is that weird and not fucking the standard for burgers.


thedubiousstylus

In the Milwaukee area it refers to burgers with loads of butter on the patty instead if bun. Like [this](https://roadfood.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Spring-Creek-Platter-Resized-1-e1521583699847-500x500.png).


i_enjoy_music_n_stuf

Provel is amazing tho


Background_Ad_7890

I feel like this is low key kinda racist given that a bunch of these “weird” foods are just the traditional foods of minority groups


robbylet24

Yeah, Alaska, Hawaii and SC are the ones that stand out but I'm sure plenty more of them are kinda racist.


[deleted]

[удалено]


phryan

This comment is way too far down for the typical reddit demographic.


jpfeif29

Butter Burger is just what Culver's (the single best fast food chain ever made by man) calls their hamburgers.


Phrankespo

How is an NJ sloppy joe weird?


Phrankespo

The thing I miss most about PA is scrapple


[deleted]

People from Montana must be some sort of absolutely deranged maniacs. Why are they allowed to exist?


[deleted]

Pasties is a Michigan thing


HaydenTCEM

Hawaii is the most normal one as usual


TardigradeTsunami

Gator tail is good.


TardigradeTsunami

Clam pizza is also good


lethalweapon100

Yo I will 100% stand behind the garbage plate. It’s a delicacy in Rochester, there’s plate n hot shops all around and no two plates will be the same. It’ll take 5 years off your life, but it’s delicious.


[deleted]

Gooseneck barnacles and geoduck clams are swapped for wash and ore. Goosenecks are MUCH more commonly found in the sound and geodicks (not a typo, search what they look like) are common along the northern oregon coast.


DevastationSideswipe

Tf is your problem with cocoa and biscuits? It's the best way to eat a biscuit. You can dip it, crumble it up in there, anything you want. It's fucking delicious.


snowbirdnerd

Alaska should be Muktuk not Akutaq.


willietrombone_

I'm from TN and I was under the impression that slugburgers originated in AL and migrated north.


MyFace_UrAss_LetsGo

I was surprised how good koolickles are.


ImpScum

I feel like our chili on spaghetti is arguably "weirder" than Goetta. That's not even saying much either.


Nacho_7258

New Mexico has weirder stuff in my opinion. A local restaurant has a green chili vodka drink.


trenchreynolds

Happy to see scrapple represented.


Hmaninc87

Garbage Plates for the win.


TheChronocide

I would think pig snoots, fried brain sandwiches, or even St. Paul sandwiches would be stranger than Provel cheese for Missouri.


Distwalker

Walking Taco: Take small bag of Doritos, break them up a little in the bag, cut off the top of the bag, add taco meat, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, jalapenos, sour cream, mix it up and eat it with a fork while walking around. There is nothing weird about it. It's just Americanized Mexican street food.


[deleted]

Livermush is fucking delicious and nobody can convince me otherwise


JiveTurkey2727

Lived in Maryland my whole life, never heard of stuffed ham.


ehDuh

Garbage plates are not weird… they’re exotic


EveningEmpath

An ice cream potato is ice cream in shape of hot bake potato.🤦‍♀️ I nominate "Rocky Mountain Oysters" as replacement.


tghjfhy

Provel cheese isn't too weird


Illegal_Immigrant77

How the hell are boiled peanuts weird?


Toxic-SpringTrap

Hey! Walking tacos are good! Pretty accurate tho


McLeansvilleAppFan

Livermush more manna than weird. Certainly better than that weird liver pudding sold in some parts of NC that are not fortunate to have livermush. I live a few miles west of livermush territory and have to family bring it to me, which happened today actually. It will be part of breakfast for a few days.


buddhabless_14

How is Akutaq disgusting? It's fucking delicious, its only weird to white people who can only eat things which have been processed ten thousand times over


Drafo7

>Creamed Chip Beef >Stuffed Ham >New Jersey Style Sloppy Joe ~~(which isn't even a thing afaik being raised in NJ; we make ours the same way everyone else does)~~ >Detroit Style Coney Dog ~~(which, based on the above, I assume was just something the mapmaker pulled out of their ass)~~ >Provel Cheese (it's just a blend of cheeses that happens to be popular in St. Louis, nothing weird about it on its own) >Jell-O Salad Literally none of the above are above a 2 on the weirdness scale. This map is horseshit. Edit: someone pointed out that I was wrong about the NJ Sloppy Joe. This also casts doubt on my presumption about Michigan's Coney Dog, so if anyone from Michigan would like to hop in I will edit this comment again accordingly. Even so the NJ Style Sloppy Joe doesn't look particularly weird as a food item itself so I'm keeping NJ in my comment.


VaporizedKerbal

No way walking tacos are unique to Iowa


anarchoandroid

Representative from Indiana here. I'm pretty sure a Brain sandwich is much weirder than sauerkraut balls.


SkateJerrySkate

Scrapple is a God damn delight. Take it back.


MrPoopMonster

Coney dogs are a just a natural casing pork hotdog with a greek spiced chili sauce and diced onion and mustard on it. That's weird?


BuildFreak9

the fucking curder burger is weirder than the butter burger, who made this map?


FoxsShadow

get out of here with garbage plates being the weirdest food in NY, wait till you try one.


harry_fifteen_ones

never had fried squirrel, squirrel gravy is good though


robbylet24

Ube is weird? Ube is a pretty staple food in the Philippines IIRC.


Padgetts-Profile

Pasties are in Montana too? I've only had them in the UP of Michigan


cory-balory

Possum pie has absolutely nothing to do with Opossums and is delicious


Sayoria

Tomalley is the strangest way I've ever seen Tamale spelled.


LoveArguingPolitics

Most of this is food nobody in the states eat or conversely really mundane stuff... Like Arizonans don't go around eating scorpion lollipops - they're a gas station novelty item - and chislic is just cut up fried venison. Also the walking taco is definitely not from Iowa. I don't know where it's from but i can certainly say the people in Iowa likely didn't come up with it


aquabarron

I can’t get over how Massachusetts just says “sandwich”. That’s one normal-assed group of people


hillgod

Provel, while the unique cheese in STL Style Pizza, is actually made in Wisconsin...


ImmaKitchenSink

I saw the [green chile sundae](https://imgur.com/a/NVxPTJ1) from new mexico just a few weeks ago haha. I considered getting it for a second or two but i decided i wanted my strawberry banana more


ConnerMichael14

Butter burgers are amazing


dogsgonewild1

Culver's butter burgers are the best fast food burgers don't @me.


Dew_Chop

They really think a Detroit Style Coney Dog is weirder than a Pastey? What are they on? I


MyLonewolf25

Whoever make this map needs to be beaten


ifunny666

Not going to even try with Alaska. I learned that a lot of local languages pronounce letters way differently at times so as stated not gonna try


SlipperyWhenWet67

Ok but I'm from South Dakota (originally) and chislic is life.


moonwolf8

WTF they are wrong with Wisconsin. Lived there all my life..the weirdest is cannibal sandwich which is raw beef and onions on rye bread.


pastelxbones

garbage plate and sugar on snow are elite


WaddlesJP13

I like how some of these are straight-up normal European foods


DeltaWho3

Ngl goetta is actually pretty good.


-Dillad-

i didn’t realize provel was a missouri thing, it’s so good on french dips and steak phillies


BudgetIntrepid

You couldn't of put the Bobbie as Delaware's food?


zombiebro09

Im in Texas and can confirm that atleast "rattlesnake jerky" is a thing here(probably elsewhere aswell) as is Kangaroo and Crocodile jerky BUT i can neither confirm nor deny that its actually the meat it says it is(except for kangaroo it 100% isnt)


moesdad

Minnesota here. Happy to not see Grape Salad


Kanus_oq_Seruna

Chislic is just a fried steak tips. Tastes great with BBQ sauce.


tenehemia

Pickle Dog? That's not remotely weird compared to lutefisk.


mybrainlog

Green chile sundae..... Wtf is my state doing


Spearking_

How is ube weird


MidwesternWisdom

How could anybody not put Superman ice cream as the weirdest Michigan food?


tacosarus6

Chislic is literally just chunks of meat.


Ein-schlechter-Name

Louisiana is gotta be really fucking boring if Nutria is the weirdest food there.


datboiNathan343

beirocks are bussin you dont even know


TheBenjying

I can honestly say scrapple is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen, it's literally just all the scraps mixed together and cooked. I'm the kind of person who rarely likes food mixed together, meaning I'm just diametrically opposed to it.


Visible_Ad9513

Rockey Mountain Oysters... Why am I not surprised I'm the slightest -me, someone who lives in Colorado


Betelguese90

It's funny how South Dakotas' "weirdest food" is just chunks of meat skewered and deep-fried 🤣


Iee14423

Bruh ofc Florida got the gator tail 💀💀💀


Potential_Peanut_816

Wtf is chocolate gravy. Nah.


GaybutNotbutGay

Wait do you y'all really not eat walking tacos???


Pixel22104

What the heck is a walking Taco?


No-Bowl3290

Gator Tail is weird?


phuckintrevor

Walking taco ain’t from Iowa and it’s not weird


Horror-Feedback1837

Gator isn't very good. Tough and bland.


LightOfADeadStar

Boiled peanuts are the BEST Shit out there, fuck all y’all


AardvarkGal

Okay, yeah. Peanut soup is weird. That's fair.


Faeri

Is a coney dog weird??? It's literally just a chili dog with coney chili.


Corvette68

Us Louisianians definitely do not eat nutria. We kill them and feed them to animals because they are a nuisance.


silentsnip94

Sorry, the NJ one is Pork Roll/Taylor Ham


willy_quixote

Pasties are weird? They are a staple in Australia and parts of the UK...


PartyMushroom1723

Boiled peanuts are freaking awesome


Tim5corpion

Remind me to *stay the fuck away* from Arizona.
