One year when I was attending college in upstate NY, a group of us "orphans" (meant we weren't going home for the holidays), decided to make a Thanksgiving menu based on our regional favorites and budget. One of the funniest and most fun meals I ever participated in. The majority of us were nascent hospitality professionals so a friendly rivalry was a goodly part of the planning and execution.
One of us was from Maryland and felt the dressing HAD to be oysters and cornbread whilst a Rhode Islander insisted it must be oysters and Grape Nuts. I stood with the Middle Staters and most New Englanders, in thinking it should be oysters and breadcrumbs. Oh and just for the record, the Midwesterners and Westeners just sat back in awe that such lil places had such big differences in cuisine.
What a great memory that is. Made me smile.
