How about Bourbon?

Or Scotch whisky? (no "e")

I was at cold Fenway Park on Saturday night and a young woman in front of me said there was a new Thanksgiving Day shot -- bourbon, with some honey and lime. She then told me she had done two shot of whiskey, chased by pickeljuice before getting to the game. And I thought sucking on a lime and salt was good back in the day....

Bolognese Sauce

Ever try Marcella Hazan's recipe?

It's classic.

No, but I'll ask my sister to make it. She has several of her cookbooks.

And I thought you were from Pittsburgh!!

I got the cheesesteaks, but don't know how I missed the cream cheese. Is there any other kind??

Philly hoagies

Philly "soft" pretzels

It's not a geographic place, but I've had Waldorf Salad at the Waldorf Astoria.

. . . I got to thinking about foods and dishes. Started with Brussels sprouts (Belgium in the news lately), and that triggered thoughts about other edibles or libations named for places on a map. Here are a few that leaped to mind:

Buffalo wings
NY strip steaks
Canadian Bacon
Swiss cheese
Baked Alaska
Bologna (but not for Thanksgiving)
Frankfurter (ditto)
Swedish meatballs
Champagne
​

I'm sure there are many more, so 'Yarders, here's your chance. When responding, add some to my starter list. Enjoy, and now...

GO!

Virginia Ham (the name works both ways)---awfully salty for my taste.

Ghiradeli [ Square, San Francisco] chocolate

Texas brisket

Kansas City ribs
Napa and Sonoma valley wine.

Cajun gumbo---great stuff. Made a double pot of it Friday.
Chicken fried steak (any state west of the Mississippi is pretty good)
Kansas smoked beef, pork, chicken among the best
Caribbean rice and beans

I verified with my sister--that's the sauce she uses for Lasagna Bolognese, which I've had. It's outstanding!

 

[MilfordHusky]

New Orleans lobster roll

Just curious--how does that differ from Maine's version?
