West Virginia is a state with an annual roadkill cook-off. I mean, what else do you need to say about it? “Wild and Wonderful” indeed. They like to eat this savory dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Can you imagine waking up in the morning and sitting down for some fried squirrel? Well, that’s quite the depressing way to start off your day! I even saw a fried squirrel nacho recipe roaming the internet… way to ruin nachos West Virginians!
Virginia -- Brunswick Stew
If you think this looks unappetizing, that's because it is. It's basically overcooked veggies and chicken drowning in broth. Its original version was even more revolting and was made with squirrel, which is how you know this didn't come from one of the nice parts of Virginia.
But, people back then had to resort to using the ingredients they had access to. Needless to say, veganism wasn't all the rage.
Washington -- Green Tea and Pea Soup
This should actually be called Green tea and PEE soup. Green tea tastes like pee. Pea soup tastes like something that a lunchroom lady would plop on your plate in the dreaded cafeteria.
Combining the two together? WHY? Why would somebody do such a thing? I wouldn't eat this if it was the last thing left on this earth.
Wisconsin -- Beer Cheese Soup
Beer cheese is just plain disgusting. Chefs all over America keep trying to make it a thing. But it's just not! Do you know that there's something even worse than beer cheese? When it's made into soup.
Cheese should never be made into soup, and it definitely doesn't need beer in it to make it worse. Wisconsin, you're good with cheese. Just let it be cheese!
Wyoming -- Chicken-Fried Steak
I didn't previously think that chicken-fried steak comes from Wyoming. Chicken-fried steak is just wrong in too many ways to count. If you have a D-grade cut of meat, you must be able to do something better with it than just say "let's deep fry it and dump some gravy on top."
Eating it just feels like the food equivalent of laughing so as not to cry.
