NJ resident here. Jersey food is awesome! My friend would always take a huge bag of bagels back to college in WV with her. DC bagels and pizza are blah to put it mildly.

Jersey pizza and bagels a are new york pizza and bagels. Jersey does not have its own food. No one is comparing it to DC.

New Jersey has excellent corn, tomatoes, blueberries, and peaches.

And I think stuff MADE in NJ counts as being from there. Italians and Jews didn’t just land or stay on NYC. They are all over the area and so are their foods. Some of the best purveyors happen to be in NJ.

Here is my snobbish take: American baked ham at holidays is lazy and gross. Serving an over-salted piece of meat that you merely heated up is not celebratory. And no, putting some brown sugar and cloves on it doesn't make it better.

Chocolate with less than 70% cocoa is not good.

Yeah, it's pretty mediocre food but people in NOVA swear by it.

The casual places people in nova rave about are wooboi and taco bamba and they are nothing special

Re Taco Bamba- shut your filthy mouth. Their Brussel sprout tacos and huevos rancheros are heaven.

It's mediocre and manages to be both oversalted and underseasoned.

Ketchup on anything there than fries is gross and I will judge you.

The yogurt in the ceramic jars is what yogurt is Really Supposed to taste like.

With you on the former, but strongly disagree on the latter. That stuff has at least 30% more added sugar than what you get overseas.

Plain whole milk yogurt plus fruit is the only way to go, yogurt-wise.

haha me too! I do not do potlucks--I eat what I made because I trust my standard of food preparation and cleanliness and I pretend to eat everything else, unless store bought. lol. Why do people like potlucks?? They're disgusting.

Re: a couple of recent posts. I agree that NJ food is the best, including produce. And I also hate ham.

UK editions of cook books are better because they use ml and grams for volume and weight in recipes.

I'd rather wait for 2 week for the book to arrive from UK Amazon than encounter '1 3/8 pinches of cumin'.

I think Cracker Barrell is just nasty and don't understand why there are always so many cars there. Makes me sad that people think that is good food.

Imagine thinking the pre-cut deli tray from Costco is in any way cleaner or safer to eat than a friend or family member’s home cooked food. It is probably 100x more likely to give you a food born illness.

Insufferable people from New York need to shut the hell up about their vastly overrated bagels. Even the best bagel is… just a bagel. Shut up already.

Its new jersey, but yes.
