@nagirin It's a whole thing in the Mid-Atlantic area, very popular in the tri-State New York New Jersey Connecticut region, so that tracks

@Alsvid@brain.worm.pink I had something akin to that when I was in New Jersey

@nagirin We don't have anything like that here, but out here on Long Island people love to stuff rolls with butter, cheese, greasy hot bacon, and fried eggs. It's called a Bacon Egg Cheese (literally!) and you can get them everywhere in every town at bagel shops.

@Alsvid@brain.worm.pink I have a vivid memory of my dad buying me some on a rainy day, something about the hot greasy food goes well on a cold sour day

@Alsvid@brain.worm.pink we have a food here, it's kinda going out of fashion but it's called smultringer, it's literally called "lard rings". They're donut shaped dough things fried in lard and eaten warm. It's kinda nostalgic they sell them out of trailers and for the peak experience you need to eat it in the rain.

@nagirin That's a shame. I love fried food. Like, a LOT. It's probably my other most American trait

@Alsvid@brain.worm.pink cross the north sea to Scotland, we don't really deep fry here except for dough

@nagirin Where would I go if I want to eat delicious locally sourced (not McDolans) fried chicken, beef, veal, pork, or ham, preferably in a sort of batter or breading?

@nagirin I am glad to discover this secret Norwegian lore nonetheless. If by some chance I ever end up in Norway I will be sure to check these places out.

@Alsvid@brain.worm.pink Europe instead of Norway was a typo, this is not ragebait if I had to say an "America of Europe" I'd say Germany without any hesitation.
