I grew up on the Jersey side of the Delaware in Edgewater Park. One of my after school jobs was working at Marchese Pizza in Burlington. He made his own dough and sauce. I worked the kitchen making hoagies and cheesesteaks. Great food!
I moved to Seattle, WA when I was 20. The first time I went out with friends to have pizza I was appalled. Then they were appalled when I picked up a slice, folded it , placed a finger at the sagging tip and took a bite. I looked up as I started chewing and everyone at the table is looking at me mouths gaping. They thought I was rude eating with my fingers.
The other major issue I had was none of the local supermarkets carried white sharp cheddar cheese, it was all orange. Then there was the mistake of ordering a cheesestake - YIKES! and no all night diners. None of that really mattered as I have always felt more like the Pacific Northwest is "home".

Really? You eat that?

@barjoe I have actually tried it. Akin to the sweet and sour thing going on in Chinese food.

@K9Kohle789 Canadian bacon. It's ham.

@silverotter11 Pizza is supposed to taste like garlic and red pepper flakes not like sweet and sour pineapple. To each there own. It's not Italian. It's for stunads.

@barjoe I agree but then they folks who like that stuff didn't come from the Philly area or a place 20 miles NE of Philly. Be kind they know not anything better .

@silverotter11 Places sell that bullshit in Philly. Mostly to transplants. It's not pizza. It's food but it's not a pizza topping.

@barjoe LOL. You are correct.

@barjoe Just out of curiousity, what is your opinion of real Pennsylvania Dutch scrapple?

@silverotter11 You mean Philadelphia Scrapple? Habbersetts. I love it. I have made my own. I just used shoulder, not all head and organ meat. I guess you can't get that on the west coast. I can get you a recipe of you like. You can use a fatty boneless pork loin.
