Globetrotter,
Welcome to the Forum,
I love Greenwich Conn, used to stay at the Motor-Inn in front of the Island shuttle boat in the Sixties...& also at the mansion of my friend the late J.Hirshorn.

Index to Regional Foods
Okay -- here it is. Continue to post if you'd like and I will update the index if needed. I know we're only scratching the surface. So think about it and post your discoveries here.
Mrs. Stream left Thursday for Maui and I'm finally managing to get this done. Too bad she is going to miss out on the big show.
Thank you to all contributors -- and keep it going if you have an inspiration for products we'd want to use if camping in your area!

Birch Beer
Is a carbonated soda-pop. This stuff is non-alcoholic, and pretty much tastes like carbonated Pepto-Bismol. It is available in three colors, Red, Brown, and White. Pretty much only available in areas of Pennsylvania, New York state, Ohio, etc.

Bump. Thanks, wkerfoot, for the lead back to this tasty thread. I hope some of you will enjoy reading here and update us with your own regional food and drink specialties. Finding great food along the way is a big part of the fun of 'streaming! ~G

On eating in Cincinnati...

The Cincinnati food I miss most (can't get it in New England) is a Kahn's hotdog -- the wiener the world awaited! No other hotdog tastes like Kahn's.

If you find yourself north of the border (Canada), specifically in the eastern Ontario and Quebec region, don't pass up the chance to order Poutine. It's probably not high on your doctor's recommended eating list, but it's a great french canadian treat - french fries smothered with cheese curds and hot gravy. Ask your cardiologist's permission first though! You can find it at french fry stands, as well as McDonald's and Harvey's (burger joint).
Other French Canadian treats are Sugar Pie, Cipaille (layered meat pie), Tourtiere (pork/meat pie flavoured with cloves etc), and my favourite: Creton.
Creton is spread on bread, and it's made with pork, cloves, allspice, bread crumbs, etc... Doesn't sound too appetizing, but it's delicious!
Oh, and don't forget coffee from Tim Horton's (or Timmy's as we call it). It's de rigueur up here.
Cheers!
Michelle

Poutine, pronounced "Put tzeen" Can also be had at the local French eateries in New Hampshire. I don't have it often and when I do I try to split it with a couple of people. I still get dizzy standing up and walk drunken like out of the restaurant.

It's a wonder more French Canadians don't die of heart attacks. Must be all that red wine...

Austin TX..
Remembering a recent visit to this city still has my mouth watering.....
I entertained guests, and ate out just about every noon and night. I must say that the overall quality of the food was better than excellent without exception. I can't put my finger on it, but every meal was a treat, from bbq, to steak, to fish, to South american food...yummy every time. Especially the locally recommended "hole in the wall" type places were excellent. I am going to have to retrace my steps as soon as the credit card statement comes in.

Pork Tenderloins in the Pines
Wow! I forgot about this thread. Since my last post in 2003 I have branched out into pursuing the food of my youth before I transplanted to Minnesota. This past weekend we attended the Mini Minne No-Frills B Van Rally in the pine woods near Hinckley. All attendees were in the Sprinter camper vans. For the Saturday dinner I may have done a first, at least in Minnesota. I fried breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches for everyone out in the woods. There was no lake nearby so no fish. Here is the result...
Rally members eating tenderloins
The breaded pork tenderloin sandwich is most prominent in Indiana and Iowa.

Davydd, don't leave out Missouri for those breaded pork tenderloins-usually pounded out platter size and thin as a dime, and so hot they'll crisp your tongue! Max orders his breaded; I get mine grilled without. Either way, a treat. Can't imagine how great they'd taste in the woods near Hinkley ~G

Schwan's? Heaven's NO! I make them from scratch. First I buy the tenderloins, cut them to size, pound them out flat, marinade them in buttermilk, bread them with Panko Japanese bread crumbs and then fry them at 375 degrees for 3 minutes. Perfect!
I have a few other secrets but do tell all here...

What I have found out is Iowa and Indiana are the true hotbeds. Indiana because they have a fairly legitimate claim for starting them and Iowa because they have so many hogs they have to have them. Then all the states that borders these two states may also have them. Oddly, after the border states to Iowa and Indiana, finding them drops off dramatically, although I did find one in Houston, Texas. It is on my website for any Texan looking. The cook at Houston's Heights Camphouse BBQ said, "It is kind of like chicken fried steak but it is pork without the gristle."

Homemade!?! Man, Davydd, you are hardcore! We could get them at about any diner or greasy spoon in the neighborhood back home along the Indiana/Ohio border, but I don't think I ever tasted homemade. Talk about a mouth-watering thought.

Granted - it's been 2 years since anyone has posted to this thread, but it's such a good thread I had to bring it back to the surface.
Rochester NY - White Hots - it's a white hot dog and they're delicious! My favorite are Zweigles natural casing. Check them out at Zweigle's

New Orleans in New Jersey?
You betcha!!! (But only one weekend a year.)
Jambalaya at Michael Arnone's Crawfish Fest in Augusta, NJ. May 29,30 &31 2009. is outstanding.
I'm actually embarrased about how much of it I wolfed down last year.
And you're all invited to attend this year.
If you're reading this, do yourself a big favor and get yourself and your Dream Stream all decked out Cajun-style and head to upstate NJ this May.
You deserve it.
3 Days. 17 Bands. 8,000 lbs of crawfish: Crawfish Fest

Hey Bob,
Beef on Weck reminds me of a small obscure place in Buffalo called Charlie the Butcher. Ever been there? Yummy.
