What do you people in Ohio have that's good to eat? Don't say buckeye candy because that's just dumb. You can't really claim Dutch or German foods because other places already took those. So what do you have for good regional cuisine? Because if you don't eat good foods, I don't think we will relate very well.

i wouldn't say buckeyes because all they really are is a reese's cup in a different shape.

cracker, you're absolutely spot-on in that we don't have any sort of regional cuisine that is anything to speak of.

in all honesty I loathe living here and I've spent less of my total years in ohio than i have in other areas and countries. I actually just moved back from Canada about three months ago, I'm here temporarily for about two more months and then moving to LA in april.

so regionally, ohio has shit. me personally, I'm quite a cook. but other people's foods, not regionally "ohio" fare. my own personal faves of my own creation would be my chicken enchiladas (100% from scratch, even the sauce), my chili, mushroom duxelles, and my tiramisu.

We might get along. I make green mole or use the tomatillo salsa verde (sadly, I don't make that myself, too many ingredients) with my chicken enchiladas suizas and make kick ass chili. I had to look up the mushroom duxelles (sounds heavenly on crostini). I make beef stroganof with the same mix of mushrooms and shallot. Damn, now I'm hungry.

The Canadians I know are all anal. And if you must now, we use the term "Canadians" to refer to people of color around here. hahaha
