I'm one of those Maryland Folk, and never heard of it! We definitely had the real country ham here though, best on a roll with a thick pat of butter.

[Free Mr. Tony]

Most of the ones I've had are usually dill pickles, although I love bread and butter pickles. The raw onion can definitely overpower if you get a strong one.

The one at Soldier Field had pickled onions and yellow american cheese and no pickles.

Definitely tried to get cute with it. I don't really love pickeled onions, and certianly not on those. And cheese is a definite no go.

It's more that my stomach can't tolerate raw onions.  Cooked yes -- raw, I eat for 2-3 days!

I need to ask if this sandwich sounds at all familiar to any of you out there.  It was on a food show several years back and I don't remember it well.  I was sure they said it was an Ohio creation or regional to Ohio.  I think it was called a Shoe sandwich or Horseshoe sandwich.  I can't remember anything else, except maybe there was cheese sauce involved. Ring any bells?

I saw what I'm assuming is the same show years ago. I was thinking Iowa as soon as I read your post. Looks like Springfield, Illinois is where it originated.

Its not that I do not want to participate, just that Ham Biscuits are taken, and Virginia is pretty well known for ham.  Yes, you have the Chesapeake Blue crab, an many parts of the Bay in Virginia are known for it, but I bet if you asked folks they would say that is a Maryland thing...So I have come up blank...Although George Washington did go to a BBQ in Alexandria in 1769 that lasted 2 days, I am not sure we can claim BBQ...

Here is that pork loin sandwich I had at Soldier Field.

I think I would like pickled onions, the cheese has to go and I have not met much breaded and fried food I did not like, but if it is over fried, that can be an issue!  But that oversize piece, that is what I always remember...so Soldier Field, was that like $33?

I think it was either $12 or $14

Only two states with not so well known iconic foods huh?  Indiana and Virginia.  Guess the rest of the country is just a food desert? 

I did live in Nevada for 3 years, so I am tempted to say "the buffet line" for Nevada.  But I will go with a lesser known Vegas classic of the past which will date me -- the 99 cent shrimp cocktail.

Man, I do just what others do that I get mad over...I do not read the post correctly!

So yes, I go back to cold cracked whole Chesapeake Bay Blue Crab!

[Queball]

Blue crabs aren't served cold. ... They are steamed, served hot, doused in Old Bay seasoning.

[Bentley]

In most places yes, hot.  The ones I eat are chilled!  I do not like hot crab!  It is always much sweeter to me cold!

Cold stone crab claws would probably be a good one for this topic. Not sure how many areas serve them, but I know they are seasonal. I've had them in Florida, and they are terrific.

[Kristin Meredith]

I have never had the cold stone crab claws, but heard they were great.  Aren't they really expensive?
