I would think it's a perfect match for at least somewhere in the state. We'd come down from Chicago to Indy for Christmas for family get togethers and they would always involve at least 100+ White Castles. I’m probably in the minority that thinks White Castle is only good after drinking but sober is very meh. Why not just pick them up in the frozen section? Taste the same to me. I seriously doubt the beef is fresh in the restaurant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jelly Belly one made me remember that they put out some disgusting flavors...

Although I'd try the Liver and Onion one 🙂 And giving McDonald's credit for developing the kids meal is BS...

The box was filled with jelly beans that looked identical in color, but one was a tasty flavor and the other was one of the novelty awful flavors. Unfortunately I couldn't be there to see my family try it out. Seems risky to me! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems one of the balls in the pack was an Atomic Fireball. He was down to the last two and offered me one hoping I would get the Fireball. He was disappointed that I sucked on mine without any reaction. Then he started sucking on his expecting the fireball. I guess he didn't realize I like Fireballs.😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wanted penis shaped gummies, but I mistakenly asked the clerk for penis flavored gummies. Everyone got a big kick out of that and she still teases me about it. 😅 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Iconic foods in America I kinda figured the giant pork tenderloin for Indiana, but honorable mention should be beef and noodles. Never heard it mentioned in any other state, although my Mom gave me her recipe years ago, and I've made it for more than a few people (who raved about it ) and I've passed it on to all 3 of my kids (who love it). I even developed a crockpot method that I shared on this site some time ago... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
