You’re not supposed to eat the pictures, Max!

25/25. Brunswick stew also known as burgoo, or at least it counted it.

it was before coffee this morning, cut me some slack

an absolute/accurate score as maybe 16 of those were obvious to me and the 8 i didn't get i've never heard of.

that country boil picture made me gag just a little bit.

Non-southern white people predictably didn't season anything in that photo. Also, I took part in more crawfish boils than shrimp boils in the south.

You should also be proud that you beat Diamond by that margin.

21 of 25

I should've had 23 because I just brain farted on a couple of layups.

Banana pudding just wouldn't pop into my brain. And I love crawfish etoufee... just couldn't pull it.

I could've stared at that pic of chicken and dumplings all day and not pulled that. My wife makes a variation that looks nothing like that, so I just wasn't wired to get that visual cue.

Might be a northern/Maine-inspired thing, but I'm used to boils including an array of seafood, including clams, lobsters and shrimp.

Also, I find boils to be annoying and kind of gross. I like everything involved, but I don't need my corn and sausage to be sitting in a seafood boil. I'm already getting that flavor with, you know, the fucking seafood on hand.

On the first part, my personal seafood experience had always been deep fried growing up. I only remember lobster being boiled during holidays. And shrimp was eaten cold with cocktail sauce or as part of a dish. I only took part in boils after leaving the east coast.

On the second part, I find that interesting. I can understand the eating with your hands aspect not being the most sanitary, but the flavors of everything mixing, plus adding seasonings during the boil, made a ridiculously delicious meal. At least to me.

yeah those boils just look like the results of a broken garbage disposal to me.



that chicken/dumplings looked tasty.

Had low country boil in Charleston at a restaurant known for it. Simple preparation, but man was it good! Very proud of my 23/25. Never heard of one dish, heard of the other but didn't know what it looked like.

I hate to gum up the Sporcle thread with non-Sporcle content, but I like the coincidence of this popping up on Reddit a some hours ago:



Sidenote: there's a food truck in town that does seafood boils. I'm going to have to try it.

People lose their shit for crawfish down here. I enjoy the food, but the work it takes to get full isn't worth it, so I'm about a one boil a year type of guy unless I know there's other stuff to eat too. The parties are typically a blast.

I love it the rare times I can have it but I have no doubt a part of that is the rarity/novelty.

Never did it proper, I guess, but have had a 'boil dish at a restaurant in HHI SC.

There are at least two restaurants in the NJ shore town we go to every year dedicated to seafood boils. You can pick them up steamed or take it home and do it yourself. We haven't tried those.
