wtf? who came up with this shit? These are not the 25 flavors that define NC for me...

9/8/2010 8:37:03 AM

k

9/8/2010 8:38:14 AM

at first i thought they were doing one thing for each letter

[Edited on September 8, 2010 at 8:39 AM. Reason : and since it was probably written by a unc grad they didnt realize there should be 26 things]

9/8/2010 8:39:13 AM

#26 should be the tears of all the Carolina fans... oh how sweet they are

9/8/2010 8:44:29 AM

duke fans would also be an acceptable answer

9/8/2010 8:49:39 AM

I want honeysuckle sorbet.

Also, no Cheerwine?

9/8/2010 9:04:16 AM

don't flatter yourselves no one gives a shit about north carolina

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

9/8/2010 9:30:31 AM

BLT - wtf?

9/8/2010 9:39:40 AM

yup


lots of pork is made here, so we should have some of the best bacon

tomatoes? yes, grown here

lettuce? yes


the south doing it right and putting mayo on it? yes



there are alot of things people don't think about when they think NC that are very common here and actually staples



for whoever said "what, no cheerwhine?" they did have sundrop on there



the only thing that I cocked my head at was the herring- I've never seen that here

Where are the boiled peanuts?

9/8/2010 10:10:11 AM

isn't that more of a SC/GA thing?

9/8/2010 10:11:59 AM

where's Bojangle's?

9/8/2010 10:31:52 AM

in all honesty, I never heard any hub-bub about bojo's until I came to State


it was about as revered as KFC or Burger King- people ate there, but it wasn't the "thing to do"

9/8/2010 10:36:51 AM

I've eaten Herring at the Cypress Grill, but it was a long time ago. It's not a statewide thing, but around that area it's a big deal.

9/8/2010 10:39:43 AM

I'm glad Bojangle's wasn't on the list

Sun Drop itself isn't even from NC
but the Cherry Lemon combo apparently is

That would fit better in the 25 tastes that define New Jersey. They could put it right after garbage.

9/8/2010 11:50:25 AM

Alotta bread

No sesame seeeeeeeeeeds

9/8/2010 11:51:54 AM

this is stupid

9/8/2010 12:00:53 PM

No Cheerwine?

No Texas Pete?

9/8/2010 12:50:26 PM

no Bojangles AND no Biscuitville?

9/8/2010 1:08:17 PM

I would also like to try this honeysuckle sorbet.

9/8/2010 1:10:59 PM

what a terrible list.

9/8/2010 1:13:19 PM

I don't think it is a terrible list

but I do think it leans a little heavily on Chapel Hill

9/8/2010 1:14:32 PM

uhh, monster burger please?

9/8/2010 1:20:23 PM

the list bounced from the generic (barbeque) to the specific (Snappy Lunch's pork chop sandwich). Hell it lists bbq and then a specific restaurant's bbq.

9/8/2010 1:20:54 PM

Hell yeah Snappy Lunch

9/8/2010 2:40:52 PM

I'm just glad that it didn't include any (excluding Sun Drop) corporate brands or chain restaurants

9/8/2010 2:42:01 PM

damn, gastonia made the list twice

r.o.'s and cherry lemon sundrop

[Edited on September 8, 2010 at 3:28 PM. Reason : .]

9/8/2010 3:27:56 PM

I am in favor of this list. especially Fig Cake!! WANT

and NC State ice cream made it too!!!

9/8/2010 3:41:57 PM

Yeah 3 of the 25 "tastes that define our state" are from Chapel Hill

9/8/2010 8:43:39 PM

Both of those chicks are from out of state so they don't know shit.

haha oysters...most of the oysters consumed in NC come from the gulf

[Edited on September 8, 2010 at 8:57 PM. Reason : they should put El's scrimp burger on there]

9/8/2010 8:57:01 PM

Banana Pudding.... Souffle??

GTFO with this yuppie bullshit.

where's my Snoopy's Chili Dog with Slaw? at 2:00 am, dammit

9/8/2010 10:32:56 PM

Vinegar should be a taste all on its own.

9/8/2010 11:31:26 PM

^^ I was already hungry and missing NC today, I really hate you now

9/9/2010 11:08:44 AM

d'oh

[Edited on September 9, 2010 at 11:33 AM. Reason : d]

9/9/2010 11:14:51 AM

Oh man, the honeysuckle sorbet is at Crook's Corner. I love their shrimp and grits.

9/9/2010 11:17:19 AM

Cheerwine
Bojangles
Texas Pete
all NC food groups that should be mentioned.

9/9/2010 11:25:27 AM

whoever designed that page needs to be stabbed with a spoon

oh hell yes...

and I want to know why they put "bbq" then 2 other bbq places... AND NO BOJANGLES... wtf.

honeysuckle sorbet does sound good though

9/9/2010 11:39:42 AM

haha at bojoangles being a taste of NC


seriously? it takes a little more than college cult following to truly reflect the history and culture of NC through food and drink

get over it


seriously fuckin bojangles? what aboutt he numerous soul food places that do fried chicken way better and actually brew sweet tea.

[Edited on September 9, 2010 at 11:44 AM. Reason : g]

9/9/2010 11:43:39 AM

WHY IS THERE NO BOJANGLES ON THIS LIST?

dude doesn't know what he's talking about

9/9/2010 11:48:37 AM

WHY ISNT BOWLS ON THIS LIST

FUCK THEM

9/9/2010 11:49:57 AM

seems like the list should either be general foods, or specific places....instead it is a disjointed mixture of the two.

9/9/2010 11:53:59 AM

one thing it shouldnt be is bojangles

9/9/2010 11:55:53 AM

bojangles ain't just college students, it's every mofukkin construction worker in the state, too.

7:00 am -- show up to work
7:15 am -- load up the company truck, tell bossman you're off to the site
7:30 am -- chicken biscuits and coffees at the Bojangles


(i agree, there is better, its just not as right in your face every time you want some)

and for ^your argument- replace KFC w/ mcdonalds or any of the other places that are open early enough for people going to work (pretty much every single place that serves bfast)
