Steamed cheeseburgers are White Castle.

Someone has been falling into Facebook clickbait.

Nah. I just started watching the Fargo TV series, lol.

These are absolutely AMAZING:

Expensive but 1000% worth it. They don’t use anything except flour, butter, and sugar. Midwestern roommate introduced me to that bakery and their kolachis. I cannot overstate how good their nutrolls are after heating in the oven and with some butter on top. Omg. 😱

A guy I follow on Twitter posted a picture of a softshell crab sandwich and I, a lifelong Marylander, was floored at how many people had never seen or heard of such a thing.

I've discovered a bunch of different state/regional foods thanks to Tiktok. Mostly Midwestern it seems. I find it really interesting to see all the different things I've never heard of that are staples elsewhere. I grew up outside Boston and I don't feel like there was anything really unique that we had at family gatherings.

Do people eat boston baked beans and boston brown bread or is that a myth that i just made up in my mind in this moment?

I grew up in California and I never knew Dutch Crunch bread was a local specialty, but it is.

Growing up in the area in 5h3 1970’s, we ate them very occasionally.

I am intrigued by the exquisitely specific request of the title, and I cannot satisfy it. There is nothing I have *just* learned.

However, I found out about New Mexico's state cookie (biscochitos) last year, and they are now in my Christmas rotation. So like and sugary and flaky/crumbly and cinnamony! I balance the hint of ground anise with a hint of orange zest, as I was taught by the abuela who trained me.

Had a neighbor from New Jersey who introduced me to a meat called Taylor Ham. I have to admit with an egg and cheese on a bun for breakfast was pretty delicious.

Kolaches are a good one because they vary by state. There are savory kolaches with sausage and sometimes cheese and jalapenos and sweet kolaches with fruit filling. Depending on where you are (or where the baker is from).

How far are salt potatoes from steamed cheeseburgers, geographically? I’ve got a vague New York food map.

“Steamed hams”. It’s an Albany expression.

There is nothing, NOTHING! as good as Taylor ham, egg and cheese on a Kaiser roll. Absolute perfection.
