(this all came up because I just ordered a Philly cheese steak pizza from Domino's and I was thinking, wow I can't imagine living somewhere that doesn't have a good Philly cheese steak!) Oh also pork roll is big around here too, but I know my friend from Illinois never even heard of it before! What is your state or town known for?
mckayleesmom replied: Im origionally from California...Raisins maybe...lol 
ferocity302 replied: Oregon.....
I do believe Hazelnuts (filberts). Or at least where I live they are.
Celestrina replied:
You answered the question for me - I live just outside of Philly  ! It kills me when we're away what people consider a cheesesteak.

MomToJade&Jordan replied: I'm in Hawaii so it's spam and poi. Either of which I can tolerate too much. Oh and pineapple which I love.
Celestrina replied:
My DS LOVES pineapple! He would fit in well there.
paradisemommy replied: well, i'm in hawaii too but i was going to say kahlua pig/poi/lomi lomi salmon/haupia (coconut dessert) - all at our luau's or malasada which are donuts that are fried with sugar on the outside and you can get them plain or with custard..
so what's a pork roll??? 
Josie83 replied: Gosh I don't know. Fish and chips or a roast beef dinne probably  xx

mom21kid2dogs replied: I live in Ohio~I don't think we're "known" for any food. Ham Loaf is big in Southeastern Ohio. I'd never heard of it 'til I moved here.
amymom replied: New York, We are a big dairy state, That may surprise alot of people. Apples are big here too. And Wine. Lots of wine. There is also Thousand Island Dressing. I live near the Thousand Islands, we are going to be featured on Food Network for the dressing soon.
Near NY City it is more likely to be know for the Pizza and Italian food.
Hillbilly Housewife replied: Maple syrup
lol
jcc64 replied: Apples and wine upstate. Also the best corn on the cob in the world, imo.
Bagels, pizza and ethnic food of all kinds in NYC.
Kaitlin'smom replied: Ohio- the onlt thing I can think of is Buckeyes...
Maddie&EthansMom replied: I'm in Texas. Ummmm.... STEAK????
kel replied: im from cape town..probably pickled fish (gross) ..at easter time its tradition to have hot cross buns and pickled fish (revolting i know)
other wise cape town is known for its wine
Mommy2BAK replied: I would say Grape's for the Grape Festival.. and we have some good Italian food..but other than that ..just Chicken!
People call our town "Chickendale USA" Because Tyson Chicken is here in Springdale, Arkansas. Otherwise I would say that Arkansas is know for Fried Chicken. Help me out Mel, any others?
redchief replied:
NJ is also famous for strawberries and blueberries 
MomToMany replied:
LOL Jennifer! The only thing I can think of is _______-on-a-stick, usually at State Fair time! You name it, it's probably on a stick!
MommyToAshley replied:
I was going to say the same thing. Both the nut, and the yummier chocolate and peanut butter candy that looks like a buckeye. 
coasterqueen replied: geesh I have no idea. 
I know that around here (central IL) we love horseshoes (a dish) and when I moved down to southern IL for awhile they didn't even know what they were.  It was a sad, sad situation I tell you.
I know our state snack was made popcorn a year or so ago, I think.
amymom replied:
Ok what are horseshoes? 
coasterqueen replied:
lol.  Horseshoes are some type of meat, whether it's hamburger, turkey, ham, chicken, etc...and it's smothered with french fries and a awesome thick cheese sauce. It's sooooooo good! Man I wish I could have one, but there's dairy in it so i can't. SIGH. 
Kaitlin'smom replied:
yummy, I love thoes candies....and one day I will have one again
JessC replied: Well Oregon has some pretty good cherries I dont know if you consider that known for oregon. 
amynicole21 replied: Well, I'm in Florida so I guess it's oranges!
Grew up near Philly and REALLY miss the soft pretzles there
Mommy2BAK replied:
ya know, I just had my first and only Philly Chese Steak Sandwich last year, it was at a festival. And I loved it!!! I would love to have an authentic one someday!
3_call_me_mama replied: Vermont is know for MAPLE SYRUP!! And milk (more cows than people here! LOL!) And of course Ben and Jerry's ice cream! Oh think of it, ben and jerry's with maple syrup on top ! YUMMY!
MomToJade&Jordan replied:
For some odd reason I thought gator as well when it comes to Florida. I had that a couple of times back home. I couldn't think of anything else when it comes to Florida besides the citrus. Oh wait there is conch chowder down in Key West. You can get some really great seafood down in the keys.
kit_kats_mom replied:
mmmm conch fritters
My2Beauties replied: Hmmm I don't know what Ky is famous for, an alcoholic drink are there Mint Juleps! We're famous for a lot of alcoholic drinks, like Jack Daniels and stuff like that, gosh I guess that says a lot about us Kentuckians Alcoholics
lisar replied: Florida we are known for Oranges...

My2Beauties replied:
