    I like all of those things. And candlepin.

    Speaking of 'down at the legion', where I'm from it's pronounced "downt the legion".

    @AaronWebstey @doyoueventribro

    Until recently, I was the Provincial Operations Manager for the Legion in BC. It was.... frustrating. Meat darts aren't a thing out here, but meat draws are big business. Meat raffles, effectively. So dumb.

    Nova Scotia stuff I remember from growing up... just food, really:
    Halifax donairs
    Cape Breton Brew
    White pudding
    Malt vinegar everywhere
    Cape Breton Bru is one of the reasons we have such a high rate of type 2 diabetes.

    I didnt have a donair until i was 27, and not sure what this malt vinegar or white pudding stuff is. Mainlanders are fucked, bi.

    I'm more from the balogna and curds part of nova scotia.

    Old Bay on EVERYTHING
    and
    Duckpin Bowling
    That's all I got right now......

    what advantage does duckpin bowling have over any other type of bowling? It seems like a subset of bowling that just isn't needed.

    +1 on what @Kuch said,

    I'd add Scrapple. I'm from DC, but the eastern Pennsylvania folks know it well. Cooked properly, it's the best breakfast 'food' known to man!!!! I can't source the exact stuff here in Michigan, but every culture has their version of meat/meal/glop product - yet absolutely none are as perfect as scrapple. In my opinion, somehow a Dutch immigrant butcher married the perfect Carolina sausage maker way back when. Seemed to really be a favorite on the menu in the Virginia breakfast joints south to the coast too. Be sure to tell your guests exactly what it's made of, and they'll let you enjoy every piece yourself!!!!!!

    @Tad_Machrowicz scrapple is easy. Just cook your breakfast like normal on a griddle, then scrape the leftovers into that gutter in the front of the griddle stove. Leave there to allow to heat up, and voila, scrapple.

    Coyote hunting with greyhounds is pretty big around here.

    Mudruns. Large pit of mud and people bring out whatever vehicles and see who can make it through.

    Tractor pulls

    Various competitive shooting clubs

    Also

    We call it "Pop" here not "soda"

    Unsure exactly where you live @ItsShug, but do you happen to know what "noodling" is? I was schooled in this redneck fishing method while watching a stand up comedian. It sounds fucking awesome and I wish to see it live one day.

    Yea it's actually illegal in the state of Kansas but people still do it all the time. I actually know a guy from Missouri that was found murdered and people think it was from noodling in some one else's hole. Them guys don't mess around with that stuff

    A very popular meal in Nebraska is chili and cinnamon rolls. It's even served in the schools. I had never heard of that combination before but have to admit they are onto something.

    That sounds kind of like the abomination that is Cincinnati "chili" (skyline chili). Basically meat sauce with cinnamon on spaghetti noodles.

    They aren't actually mixed together though. You just eat the cinnamon rolls along with the Chili. Cincinnati takes the win for disgusting with that dish.

    @espej09 I forgot that! Yes, the Eastern Shore of MD is a special place for many reasons..lol
    I lived in OCMD for two summers and worked security at Seacrets with a bunch of the football players from Salisbury. Now for those who have never heard of, or been to that place.....I have no idea how to describe the things I have seen go down there!

    The Eastern Shore: the land of chicken farms, fireworks stands, and flea markets. Plus the occasional Hardee's.
    Fresh in my mind as I drove between my house in Va Beach and Philly and then NJ the past two weekends.

    Freakin Shenaningens! I've had a few beers there for sure. Man I miss those summers down in OC, so much fun.
    Funny story, this past summer I went on a long ride from Bethany/Dewey down through OC, with two other people, one being Rachel Mcbride. We ended up hitting like every light on Coastal Highway and I was just pointing out a different bar each time and telling them ridiculous stories. I think she was partially entertained and partially wondering how the hell she ended up in this town.

    This is 100% accurate! 95% of the Eastern Shore could be mistaken for some mid-west, one-stop light town, and then you have Ocean City, which is like a horrible Frat Party on steroids, spread across 3 miles.

    So on Lucy Charles' Kona interview with Bob Babbitt, she used a British colloquialism that I was previously unfamiliar with. "Touch wood" is apparently synonymous with "knock on wood" for those of us in the States. And if you're in Canada, it's "spend 30 seconds in @AaronWebstey's office".

    Let me jump on the Maryland train. And this is Southern Maryland, so almost directly across the Chesapeake from Ocean City. I didn't grow up in the god awful place but living here I have discovered that they have

    Amish Buggies with electric tail lights = people can't drive worth shit, so the religions must be broken
    10 oz Budweiser = WTF?
    Nasty Old Bay on everything = ew
    Shrimp Marconi salad = barf
    Stuffed Ham = extra barf
    SMIBs = ∞ barf (This is a source of pride. I've seen bumper stickers.) I'll give you this acronym : Southern Maryland Inbred

    1) Chips are pieces of potatoes at least 1cm a side deep fried, Fries are about 25mm a side.
    2) Crisps are slices of potatoes deep fried!
    3) Pies have pastry all round, bottom, sides and top, anything else is a dish served with pastry!
    4) You may live in Northern England, there is still no need to put your pie in a bam!
    5) Large bread rolls suitable for filling with bacon or sausages will be called diffrent terms as per your geographic location in the UK. Bam in North, Bap in South! Deal with it, there are bigger issues for us to argue about
    6) Fried fruit cake has a place in your breakfast, it's called dumpling when you want to order it.
