For those of you unfamiliar with Maine’s, let me explain.
“Lobster tomalley, often referred to as the “green stuff” inside a lobster, is the hepatopancreas, a digestive gland that functions as both the liver and pancreas. It is a delicacy for some, valued for its rich, intense flavor similar to lobster meat but more intense. However, it’s also been a subject of safety concerns due to potential environmental contaminants.”
.
The green stuff is a highly debated topic in my state. Some people hate it (me!) and others love it.
.
.
Everything toxic a lobster encounters in the sea lands there. Not my idea of a culinary treat.

Booger Hole, West Virginia?
Say it isn’t so…

Another reason I’m glad my part of Maine is blue.

Wow, Maine’s Bangor seems relatively tame.

There is nothing weird about pasty! And Hell, MI didn’t make the city list?
As for spelling, maybe folks are using the Marquette spelling “Meskousing” or the Joliet spelling “Miskonsing”, LaSalle spelling “Ouisconsin”, or Thevenout spelling “Mescousin”, all of which might have come from Ojibwe or Miami. I blame the French explorers.
We were happier before 2011.
If you whistle underwater and no one hears, is it still illegal? What if a tree falls on you while you’re whistling?

I know in east Texas rattlesnake is considered a delicacy, 🤮. But not where I live, we are more beef lovers than anything. I didn’t realize New Mexico was so unhappy, they gave legalized marijuana, you’d think they’d be more happy and chill, lol. As for the…gaggy green yuck from the lobster, no thank you.

I love old weird laws!
I think I should move to Big Bottom, WA!
I know sushirritos are a thing, but I think the chicken sandwiches that use donuts as buns, and most other fair foods, are weirder!!
Rando info: A “California burrito” is a regular burrito with fries added inside.
