    Boudin's. Crawfish. King cakes. Jambalya. Gumbo. These are just a few of the things I couldn't get when I was out of state. I remember being in D.C. and a ? couldn't find a box of grits. ? was baffling.

    ? you can easily find Grits in DC...some of the food being named though isn't region specific...especially some of the food found in Texas that's just straight up spanish food

    really alot of the things named arent specific to that state and some i dont really believe originated int he state listed.

    anyway...

    One thing I can never find anywhere else and is said to have origins only here in florida is

    Crab Sha-la.

    Never met anyone from outside of Florida who knows what this is unless they've been here or have fam here

    yeah...like Ms. S mentioning Tex-Mex...that's not Texas (american) food that's Mexican food they brought there or have been cooking there for years when Texas was still Mexico

    Tex-Mex is different than tradiational Mexican food... it has to do with the spices used and cheeses so yes it originated in Texas along with the other items I listed. Pecan Pie is the only thing debatable ... some say the French invented it. Folks from Texas say otherwise.

    The original recipe for Pecan Pie came from New Orleans.
    The first chocolate pecan pie came from Louisville!

    I would very much appreciate a PM when you get it. Once I add some cannabis infused cooking oil I'm going to rock the entire community!
