I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
Peanut butter.
And I dip it out with a chilled chocolate bar.
"dinner" vs "supper"
I grew up in New Orleans and it was dinner. And all carbonated beverages were Cokes.
I'm in Mississippi now, and I hear supper much more frequently, but not exclusively. And it's still Coke.
Cook the Book: 'Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes'
The ones my mom used to make each year for my birthday. Two smaller patties with a wedge of cheese placed between them and sealed together. Of course, they were well-seasoned as well.
Ironic that, years later, I'd see television food shows celebrating this wacky burger idea they were promoting, and it would be what my mom did years ago.

The 'United Plates': Food-Themed Prints of All 50 States
I looked at the two states that I have called home, and both were so off it comes close to offensive.

La Casa Pizzaria: Tangy Goodness in Omaha
Dang, and I just got back from Omaha watching my alma mater in the College World Series! Wish I had known about this then.
Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'
My mom's red beans and rice, cooked slowly all day long, filling the house with that wonderful aroma that made you feel that you were at home when you walked in the door at the end of the day. That was my life every Monday.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage
Leatha's in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Consistently highly-rated (was once given a five-star rating by a food critic. On a four-star scale).
The Serious Eats National Doughnut Honor Roll
Terrytown Donuts is a great neighborhood place in New Orleans. Oh, and Shipley's isn't just in Oxford, Miss.; it's been a Hattiesburg, Miss. staple for decades.
"dinner" vs "supper"
Poultrygeist (great name!) was right in citing Webster's that it's the largest meal (but not breakfast). So to the extent it was regional it was because the largest meal was more likely to be at noon in agricultural country, and then the evening meal was supper. As we've become more urban more of us who used to have dinner at noon now have it at suppertime, and have lunch at noon.
My mother grew up in Massachusetts where they called soda "tonic." When my sister had to be taken to the Dr in Texas where they were stationed during the War ('40's) he told her my sister needed some tonic, and mom couldn't imagine why.

nachos for PA? I was expecting a hoagie, and Wisconsin should clearly be some sort of sausage or cheese! But, some of these are pretty cute, and it is definitely a clever idea.

Illinois as a grilled chicken breast? I'm not too impressed.
Also, I don't understand why Maine is an oven mitt? Love Kentucky!

It's not easy being a Connecticutian. I suppose at least we're not an empty plate like Wyoming...

These are so stinkin' clever! How in the world did he come up with all of these ideas?
The 'United Plates': Food-Themed Prints of All 50 States

You guys are crazy!! These are awesome! I think you are taking his art a little too seriously. Its meant to be fun. And it definitely is! I'm buying three right now.

I'm pretty sure TN is pancakes with syrup running down the side...errr I think...
The 'United Plates': Food-Themed Prints of All 50 States
I agree I wanted to like these but every state I have a connection to I either couldn't tell what it was or it had nothing to do with the state. What are NJ and TN? And salad for NY? Cherry pie for NC? Hmm...
The 'United Plates': Food-Themed Prints of All 50 States
Agreed that some of these aren't the best illustrations, but I love, love, love Michigan.
The 'United Plates': Food-Themed Prints of All 50 States
I can't figure out what NJ is. The caption says it's braided bread and one of the responses says Challah. I've never seen any bread that looks like that though.
The 'United Plates': Food-Themed Prints of All 50 States
I can't for the life of me figure out what TN's is. I agree these could of been great, but a lot are merely, eh... But as a native Kentuckian, I do want to buy that one!
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
ShawnaAdora had it right...and I guess we're the only ones....
MIRACLE WHIP right from the jar! I eat it sprinkled with black pepper. If I feel fancy, I spread it on crackers!
Cold Chef Boyardee ravioli's from the can ( a childhood vice)
Peanut butter
Eagle Brand milk
Garlic stuffed olives captured with a fork
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
@Traveller - you MUST have been upset. I can't imagine eating a jar of grainy mustard by itself! No, capers would be my choice, I love em.
BTW, congratulations on getting that dissertation over and to an old broad like myself, a "B" sounds pretty damned good.
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
Peanut Butter; Olives; Pickles; Baked Beans; Chef Boyardee; Condensed Soup; Vegetables; Ice Cream; & Almost anything that doesn't require removal from the container for cooking. If it's cooked or sufficiently prepared in the container, I'll eat it right from said container.
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
Altoids? You must be kidding!
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
I love to eat my own canned whole tomato's a quart size, right out of the jar. Reminds me of my mom and grandma and the farm in Ohio, great comfort and memory food for me. coco
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
When my sister & I went backpacking around Europe we were on a VERY limited budget... many times we arrived by bus in our next foriegn city, late at night, hungry & unfamiliar. I remember eating peas & corn cold out of the can after shopping at the 24-hour food mart in Barcelona... Dining on red wine & dark chocolate and jumping on the beds in our Paris hotel room... Eating Brie out of the package with a Swiss Army knife... Popping Pringles & chugging Fruitopia at 6am after a night of dancing & drinking in London...
Definately pints of icecream, gelato, sorbet, etc, many nights watching movies with my best friend, or doing a late-night "icecream run" with my sister & splitting a litre of Oreo...
I used to bake peanut butter cookies & eat them out of the pan
Pickles, pickled beets, pickled onions, relish, sauerkraut, olives, salsa, pasta sauce, condensed tomato soup, curried spinach, mushy peas, pie filling, peanut butter, jam, whipped topping, salad dressing, eggless mayonnaise, ketchup, bbq sauce... and yes, margarine...
PS I'm totally underweight, so I can justify eating an "entire" anything, including bags of cookies, a McCain cake, a frozen cream pie :)
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
@dixisue, I like pb & mayo sandwiches, no matter what kind of breat I have, also occasionally add a few slices of ripe banana on that...if out of pb, sit there with banana slices on a plate, each one gets a small blobette of mayo, also good this way on a Ritz cracker.
otherwise, out of can or jar it's:
tuna, drained or undrained
Bush's beans, or B&M, best tasting IMO
Spag/MB from the can, so easy now with the zip-off tops!
uncondensed cream of broccoli or cream of chicken soup
HAVE to taste at least 2 tbl of any new jar spaghetti sauce
herring in cream sauce, or just plain pickled w/onions
sardines, in hot sauce, mustard or oil
salmon from a can, also love to drink the "juice"
pickles from a jar

Smoked Oysters.
Pickled Herring in Cream Sauce.
Bread&Butter Sandwich Stacker Pickles.

I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
Peanut butter, Cool whip, baked beans, dill pickles, chocolate cake frosting, and ice cream. A lot of times I'll dip chocolate chip cookies in the Cool whip or the chocolate cake frosting.
