TET to the Future: Marty, We're Going Blaat!

Everyone's so focused on Canada's poutine that New Jersey can quietly get away with disco fries.

Excellent.

...Disco Fries?

It is cheese fries with gravy over them. I think it's mostly only in New Jersey, and then mainly in North Jersey because reasons.

Fries covered in mozzarella and gravy.

It's a diner dish, and I think the diner culture is more prevalent in the north.

[Samudera Darussalam]

Well, you have people put gravy on fries so....is that weird?
(Sorry Canadians)

Talking about poutine.....is that delicious?

30 million Canadians can't be wrong. Or can they?

Who knows?

The fries wouldn't have that slight crunch to them if you soak them in gravy. Besides, the last thing fries need is more fat loaded onto them. But also isn't there like cheese curds or something in poutine?

Yes, they have the cheese curds.
Too bad for now I can't eat cheese tho

Excellent.

I do hope that it's not some fries dancing to the disco lamp or something.

Edit: Oh, they seem similar to poutine.

Imagine there being a restaurant that serves one item for every state in the U.S.. What state would have each food?

Should this go in its own thread?

Can we just call the South in general fried bbq?

[Chrinthanium]

I must apologize to our Canadian cousins. It seems I misspoke and claimed that "30 million Canadians can't be wrong." Well, my statement should have said, "37.06 million Canadians can't be wrong." I almost completely left out the entire population of Quebec.

I think Texas prefers smoking things over frying things, but generally yes.

It's pretty much the same idea, except instead of cheese curds we melt mozzarella over them.

Yes, I know. They don't want to be part of Canada, but they also don't want to pay what they owe back to Canada if they leave.

I've often wondered what Texas is smoking. So, all the fried wonders coming out of the Texas State Fair are just aberrations?

In recent years, the fair has emphasized its reputation as an event featuring unique, albeit high-fat foods. It has been known for years for Fletcher's brand corny dogs. Recent years have seen the introduction of new unusual deep-fried items, including deep-fried Oreos, deep-fried Twinkies, deep-fried s'mores, deep-fried pork ribs, fried cheesecake; deep-fried butter, fried avocados, deep-fried peanut butter, jelly, and banana sandwiches, and most recently a batter-based fried Coke. New foods in 2008 included chicken fried bacon and fried banana splits. For the 2012 fair, the Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas added the deep-fried Samoa cookie.

We can fry water now, so that'll be coming soon.

I say they do more harm than good. They do a whole lot of complaining, a whole lot of pushing French on the rest of Canada, and cause a whole lot of confusion. Imagine if California decided every politician in the US needed to learn Spanish, stuck Spanish on every road sign, and had this notion they were better than English-speaking America. That might be a bit of hyperbole, but that's basically the relationship between Anglophonic Canada and Quebec. They talk about leaving, but if they do, they'll be asking to come back within a year.

Take it from America, Quebec can't actually decide what it wants to do with its own independence.

[Pacomia]

What would Oregon and Utah have?

Utah, being the Beehive State, should have something to do with honey. Not sure what, but honey. Oregon, the Beaver State.... well, I have to step back from commenting at this point to remain within the rules of this website.

Missouri, being the Show Me state...

North Carolina, being the Tar Heel state...

New York, being the Empire state...

Delaware, being the First state...

I see a problem with your plan.

As someone from a country with 3 official minority languages and another handful of unofficial ones, bilingual road signs aren’t that big a deal.

That's it.

That was really a minor issue. It's the other two things that really bother me.

No one really knows. Texas is an enigma. It's somewhat stuck in the Wild West, somewhat part of the 21st Century, part American, part Mexican, fiercely patriotic yet fiercely independence..... it's entirely Texas though.

Have you ever eaten an Empire? I bet you haven't. They're quite tasty with a bit of salt and pepper. Not a fan of Tar Heels, though. Kind of like pickled pigs feet, but more chewy and less tasty. Show Me's are also quite delicious. However, eating first is best because everything is still fresh and warm.
