The Foodnited States

Influenster, a website that hosts product reviews, surveyed 40,000 people across the US for their favorite Halloween candy, and then sorted those with the most votes by state.

Oreos? Swedish Fish? Pixy Stix? I'm skeptical. :playful:

New Jersey is famous for Taylor ham. South Jersey calls it pork roll. Rippers are deep fried hot dogs that have been slashed to make them extra crispy. A place called Rutt's Hut was famous for them. We also have the only M&M factory that makes M&M's for the world. When we were first married we lived about a half mile from the factory. On certain days they would roast the peanuts for the peanut M&M's. I loved the smell of them roasting until I became pregnant with my kids. One whiff would make me sick for hours. I had to keep the windows shut on those days.
 
Thanks for the video Meanderer. They just recently had a car show there that my Grandkids enjoyed. They use to have tours of the factory but they stopped that. Many folks in my area work there and because of that kids really make out trick or treating around the area on Halloween.

My first and only encounter with barbecued ribs was on a work related picnic. I knew, when they passed out bibs, we were in for trouble.

If you try to eat them Yankee style, you will starve to death.
