Earache Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 The USA has some pretty odd food that you'll encounter when on trips through the country and I loike to at least try them. Some are really good, others not so much. Show me what you've found and where you found it.Here are a couple from me. First is from Gold Star Chili in Kentucky. This type of chili comes from Cincinnati, Ohio where a Greek immigrant started serving it this way. Aside from a small amount of cheese, there is chili, onions, beans and spaghetti noodles in there. Then, as a side, are two cheese coneys; hot dogs in a bun slathered with chili and a bit of cheese. Sounds gross, I know, but it is delicious after you scrape about 1/2 of the cheese off. Second, a breakfast burrito from Tia Sophia's in Santa Fe, New Mexico. A folded tortilla wth sausge and eggs, peppers inside. Covered with both red and green chile (Christmas style) and a bit of melted cheese on top. Fuckin' heaven, I tell ya. I hit Tia's on every trip through Santa Fe. Finally, my usual lunch. A cold diet soft drink and some cracker type things called "Combos". They're little brick-like round crackers with some odd sort of flavor thing in the middle. Some shade and a map and I'm set. Usually eat this while sitting on a curb at a fuel station someplace. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even remember what it was supposed to be, but I do remember that I got it at the Golden Burro restaurant in Leadville, Colorado. I think it was chips with green chile on top, some beans and cheese of some kind. Feckin' Americans will dump cheese on top of anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 I don't eat a lot of meat, but do have a love for bbq ribs when they're available. My riding buddy Dave and I had some smallish racks of ribs in Tennessee last year... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 On my solo trips, I usually arrive at the hotel late, shower and just get a pizza delivered. We don't have any delivery of food where I live so it's a real treat to get food delivered. Shacked up at a Marriott somewhere in Oklahoma... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomad Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 America is coming around to poutine, which always sounded really awful to me until I tried it. Now when we make the beer and Britsh stuff run to Canada it's our first stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a pellet smoker and will cook stuff low and slow and its magic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my kind of food once you remove the bowls of crap LOL I'm starting to find the UK is getting a trend for dumping cheese on stuff. I like cheese but not on my bacon sandwich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like cheese but not on my bacon sandwich Same here - dunno why they put some greasy assed cheese all over stuff. I like it sometimes, but usually scrape about 1/2 of it off. The side dishes with the ribs are always left alone and untouched. It's enough of a job just to kill the ribs & beers for me. Don't like the coleslaw and cinnamon apples either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tym Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 No pics butt once me and two girls from Noi Jersey rode down south, we stopped at a dinner, the 16 year old version of the two girls asked what grits are... i said in a whisper "Grits is pig food" So this 16 year old repeats what i say in the loudest 16 year old Noi Joisey girl axcent possible, "Grits is Pig Food!?!"
