Weird Regional Foods

In my last post I mentioned Booyah. This has led to some interesting discussions of strange regional delicacies.

Rhonda and I share a love of red beet eggs and chow chow (Pennsylvania Dutch delicacies).

Perhaps the best so far: Poutine!

I am interested in hearing from others...

1.14 update:

Hollis adds Goulash as a southeastern Wisconsin favorite, and Jerry P. notes that chow chow is also a southern dish

Going Native

Today we went to the ice races. It is rather hard to explain -- involves a couple hundred people, junker race cars, beer, snowmobiles, ice fishing shacks and a lot of testosterone all coming together on the frozen surface of Lake Michigan's Green Bay.

This video of our good friend Cyndee (who graciously invited us to join her on the ice and fed us Booyah) explains all. It also should be pointed out that Cyndee's outfit not only includes her hot-pink down coat and David's deer-hunting hat but also leopard print gloves and boots (not seen here).
