I live in the Carolina’s nc/sc,we have a regional breakfast food called liver pudding. Since ADISC is worldwide I’m wondering what regional food do have/ eat that people from other regions/ countries have never heard of?

Most of the foods that are part of Wisconsin life have gone national like bratwurst, cheese of all types, cheese curds, and Friday night fish fries. I’ve never had anything called liver pudding, but I remember as a kid sitting by myself at the supper table, having to clean my plate, when we had liver and onions once a week and hoping that I could get the dog’s attention without my parents noticing. That was then, but now I actually like liver and onions as long as the liver is seared well and crispy on the edges.

A lot of Friday night fish fries became popular in Wisconsin due to the Catholic church’s ban on eating meat on Fridays. Although the church has rescinded this requirement the Friday fish fries remain highly popular still throughout our state. And bratwurst is German but so are many of the residents of Wisconsin thus its popularity in the state. The same can be said of much of the cheese consumed in Wisconsin as well as the beer!

Don’t know what some of them are but I’m sure that I’ll forgo the last item from everything that I’ve heard about it. The Dorset knob must be different in the UK than it is in the US because now I have a front door without a lock and knob and I have a stomach ache to boot.

Dorset knob is a kind of a cross between a cake and biscuit and used in a yearly throwing contest

Business travel had taken me to much of Western, Southern and Eastern Europe over decades of travel. Living in the upper mid-West US, across the pond from Zeke had already exposed me to most of the regional foods and drinks. I even learned the art of Wine paring with foods.

Beers of Europe are on average better than North America beer. My choice for the best beer of England is Pedigree! A Midlands beer! Let's see how many from England agree with my choice?

US Fish and French Fry's barely compare to British Fish and Chips!

Wine paring? Do you use a paring knife for that? When I was a kid we used to drink Mad Dog 20/20 while snowmobiling since it wouldn’t freeze as easily, but this resulted in some horrific hangovers. Then I got into a Manischewitz kick for a while, with as equally bad hangovers. My knowledge of wine is limited to those you drink out of the bottle with a paper bag still around it! Or sometimes I’ll get a box of white Zinfandel (no bag required), but I’m definitely not a connoisseur (as is probably obvious by now). Recently I’ve been thinking about joining one of those wine clubs where they send you about a dozen of their most popular wines, but haven’t pulled the trigger on it yet. Just thinking about wine is giving me a headache.

Despite some excellent choices from neighbouring counties, being from Nottingham, nothing else gives me the same mix of occasion and familiarity as mushy peas with mint sauce. On their own of course, preferably out of a polystyrene cup!

As with most sausages it's quite tasty but best not to ask what's in it!

Anything they grind up and stick in an animal intestine you shouldn’t ask about! The summer that I graduated from high school I worked at Jones Dairy Farm, a high end pork packing plant. After seeing what went into high end product I knew better than to even think about what goes into the average consumer brand. But I did get over my aversion to braunschweiger even after seeing what went into it. By the way, what they say about a pork packing plants using every part of the hog including the squeal is true!
