Kentucky Hot Brown - a sandwich originally created at the Brown Hotel in Louisville We seem to have a version of this called "the Horseshoe sandwich," which is a phenomenon in Springfield, Illinois and nearby areas... The horseshoe is an open-faced sandwich originating in Springfield, Illinois It consists of thick-sliced toasted bread (often Texas toast), a hamburger patty, French fries, and a "secret" cheese sauce. Sometimes ham or some other meat is substituted for the hamburger, and sometimes more than one type of meat is used. The French fries can also be substituted with tater tots, or other forms of fried potatoes. Though cheese sauces vary by chef, it is generally derived from Welsh rarebit. Common ingredients include eggs, beer, butter, cheese, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper. A smaller portion, with one slice of bread and one serving of meat, is called a pony shoe. A breakfast horseshoe is also available, replacing the hamburger and French fries with sausage or bacon and hash browns The cheese sauce can also be substituted with milk gravy. Ross' Restaurant in Bettendorf, Iowa is known for a similar dish called the Magic Mountain. Instead of a hamburger patty, the sandwich contains steamed loose-meat. It has been enjoyed by politicians and celebrities including Barack Obama and Bette Midler. The sandwich was created in the late 1920s by chef Joe Schweska at the Leland Hotel in Springfield, Illinois located on the corner of Sixth and Capitol (now an office building). The Leland Hotel, the leading hotel of Springfield, was built in 1867, and has housed hundreds of prominent Americans. The structure is five stories high and contained 235 rooms. In the 2015 Thomas' Breakfast Battle, hosted by Thomas' Breads, Mike Murphy won a $25,000 prize for his breakfast horseshoe. The contest featured chefs from throughout the country combining local flavor with Thomas' English muffins. Murphy's winning horseshoe included eggs, bacon, cheese sauce, sausage gravy and hash browns on top of the English muffin. He prepared the dish on an episode of Fox & Friends to promote the contest.

There are many varieties of taro, each making a different kind of poi, each having its distinct flavor.

Soy Beans and Corn, which are used for many things. Cotton is also a large producer here.

In addition to the hot brown sandwich from Kentucky there are two other food items that are special to Louisville:
Derby Pie is a chocolate and walnut tart in a pie shell with a pastry dough crust. It is made with walnuts and chocolate chips. Many grocery stores in KY carry this item, which will be very popular early next month.
Modjeska is a gooey caramel candy with a marshmallow center named for a 19th-century Polish Shakespearean actress who performed in Louisville. Several candy shops around Louisville carry this candy, which can also be ordered online. I've seen a few recipes but haven't tried them.
Ale-8-One is a soft drink bottled in Winchester, KY (near Lexington). It's described as a ginger pop with a kick-- a ginger and citrus blend drink with fewer calories and less carbonation than conventional soda.

I understand some versions of "Derby Pie" are also called "High Day Pie," especially the ones made with a good shot of, but of course, Kentucky bourbon as part of the filling!

sjambok and 5oh, I've wondered what breadfruit is like ever since first reading about it in Michener's "Hawaii". I've also wanted to try poi (or other forms of taro) and tried to find it on my last trip but it didn't work out. I'd love to taste both of them, but it doesn't look like I'll get another chance.
I had a version of poke at a Hawaiian restaurant in Monterey, CA, (Hulas, I think it was called) and it was delicious. But I've been hesitant about trying it again in other places, b/c I think many times it has chilis or other hot peppers in it, which are NOT my thing.
BTW, that reminds me: when I was last in HI, I did a lot of shopping in local grocery stores. I saw huli huli chicken and wondered if it was like our rotisserie chickens here, or if it had hot peppers in some form on it. Because I have a sensitivity to those things, I didn't try it.

Breadfruit, aka Ulu, is a starchy fruit: hawaiihomegrown.net/breadfruit I like it baked. It tastes really similar to bread. Summer 2017 was a bumper crop. Ulu everywhere! BTW, in the video is Chef Sam Choy. He's credited with bringing Poke (poh KAY) to the forefront of the culinary world. Poi is essentially pounded cooked Taro that has been mixed with a lot of water into a paste, similar to the consistency of something like Elmer's Glue or a slightly runny Rubber Cement. I prefer pa`i`ai which is also pounded cooked Taro but with much less water. pa`i`ai can be formed and steamed/fried/etc. Best example I can think of it either a formed Polenta or formed Mashed Potato that's shaped and cooked. Poke is actually raw cubed fish chunks, preferably Ahi. Present culinary practices labels almost anything with "raw fish" Poke. Poke in it's most simple form would be cubed fish, limu ele ele (a type of local seaweed), and rock salt. Sometimes Inamona (rock salt and crushed roasted Kukui Nuts) would substitute for the plain rock salt.
Poke, in it's present format, knows no bounds now. I've seen California Roll Poke (fish, avocado, tobbiko, crab, and a dressing; artificial Crab Poke; Clam Poke; Mussel Poke; egads the list never ends.
If you've had Macadamia Nuts... Roasted Kukui Nuts goes one level higher. It's quite good. One drawback with eating Kukui Nuts is that it... ahem... can product loose stools when eaten in a large quantity! Huli Huli Chicken is a trademarked name so it can't be used without the permission of the trademark owner. I taste Ginger in the Huli Huli sauce but I don't know what else they put in their marination liquid. There's other "chicken vendors" that pop up at street fairs, carnivals, etc. Koa Moala is one of the vendors. I can't think of the other company that also does pop ups. I don't taste Red Peppers (or any heat) on the Huli Huli Chicken sauce.
