Bologna.
Dungeness crabs.
Point Reyes Blue Cheese.
This is a stretch, but Maytag Blue Cheese gets its name from Newton, Iowa - home of the Maytag Corporation.
Don’t leave out the Parma ham. Very nice with Parmesan cheese.
Maine Lobster (can’t believe that it took to post 43 for that.)
Brussels sprouts
Boston baked beans
Chicken Kiev.
Best. Thing. Evar!
A lot of cheeses, actually: Cheddar, Stilton, Jarlsberg, etc.
I was on a business trip to Boston. Stayed at this hotel downtown. Kept wondering why the hell they were so Gung Ho about their rolls. Rolls everywhere - fresh rolls outside my door…every employee asking me if I wanted some more rolls…I started to get a little creeped out. “Uh…no thank you, I’m deep at roll.”
They were those Parker House rolls.
Took me a couple of days to realize I was staying at the Parker House.
Anybody ever had Texas Chocolate Cake?
It’s a big favorite in my family. I dunno how to make it, but it’s good stuff.
Anaheim chili
Balboa bar (Balboa Island, part of Newport Beach)*
Monterey Jack cheese
- This may be cheating as I don’t know if vanilla ice cream on a stick dipped in chocolate and rolled in peanut bits is called a Balboa bar anywhere outside of Newport Beach.
Is there really a distinct variety called the Washington apple, or is this just any apple grown in Washington? If so, you could count Florida oranges, California almonds, Idaho potatoes, etc.
I was thinking more along the lines of specific places. Sex On The Beach therefore doesn’t really count.
What/Where is Toll House and Parker House?

Ich bin ein Berliner!
Right next to the ferry? Seen them a few times but have never tried one.
I thought there was a distinct variety of apple called a Washington Apple. You know, the big red ones I’ve seen in TV advertisements. You’re right though I can’t find a specific variety of apple called Washington. I guess they can count.
Toll House
Parker House (now the Omni Parker House)
Actually, the Danish don’t know from Danish (pastry) as such. You can’t go to Denmark and order a “Danish”. They do have similar pastries, but they aren’t referred to as “Danish”, much like there are no “English muffins” in England, or “French toast” in France. In fact, the Danish have maintained the Viennese name for said pastries; wienerbrød.
Mayonnaise - Mahon, Spain
Hollandaise sauce - Holland
Jalapeño - Jalapa, Mexico
Bourbon - Bourbon County, Kentucky
Hawaiian pizza was invented by a German; it’s got nothing to do with Hawaii other than the fact Hawaii used to have a lot of pineapple plantations.
I don’t know anyone in or from Hawaii who really likes Hawaiian pizza. At most, people will eat it if it’s there and it’s free. The only person I know who really likes it is Canadian.
Besides, if Hawaiians did make a pizza, they’d put Spam on it, not ham.
However, French toast does actually come from France, where it was originally (and still is) called pain perdu (lost bread, literally).
