Alabama – White BBQ Sauce - Anyone who lives in a state that prides itself on its barbeque food will know that BBQ sauce should be brown, thick, and totally delicious. That's just the way that BBQ sauce rolls, right? Well, it's fair to say that they do things a little differently in Alabama. The people of this state swear by their white BBQ sauce – and they seem to love it. This concoction is made using mayonnaise, BBQ seasonings, and vinegar, and it's more of a drizzling sauce than a thick and sticky BBQ sauce, but who am I to judge? If it's good enough for the people of Alabama, then it should be good enough for the rest of the world. Have you ever had this food?

Alaska – Akutaq - When you think of Alaska, there's a high chance that you immediately think of a cold landscape full of people wearing giant coats and cozying up with bears. Of course, the Alaskan people aren't really best friends with grizzlies, but they do have their quirks. Alaskans love to eat something called akutaq, and there's no doubt about the fact that it's pretty strange. This dish essentially consists of mixed berries that are then mixed together with whipped fat, and it's become somewhat of a delicacy. I can only imagine the extra fat keeps them warm in the harsher months, but that's still pretty bizarre. Have you ever had this food?

Arizona – Cactus Fries - If you were wondering whether this was just a fancy name for a dish that didn't include an actual cactus, then you were wrong. That's because this dish from Arizona does exactly what it says on the tin, and is actually deep-fried cactus! You'll be happy to know that all of the needles and spikes are removed before they are fried, but that doesn't mean that they aren't pretty weird. We're used to trying to keep our cacti alive, let alone covering them in batter, frying them, and then devouring them. It's a strange concept, but one that the people of Arizona seem to have a thing for. Have you ever had this food?

Arkansas – Chocolate Gravy - Okay, so this one isn't actually that bad – but it's still a bit wacky. When most of us think of gravy, we think of a thick, savory sauce that mixes well with potatoes and biscuits. However, they do things a little differently in Arkansas. They eat their biscuits with chocolate gravy instead, which is a form of chocolate sauce that's made from cocoa powder, sugar, flour, and fat. You can eat it at breakfast, you can have it for lunch, and you could even chow down at dinner if you want – but you've got to make sure that you've got a sweet tooth. Otherwise, it might be a bit too much for you. Have you ever had this food?

California – Donut Burger - In theory, this should be the greatest thing since sliced bread. After all, donuts are pretty delicious, and burgers are equally as yummy. Using a donut as the burger should be even better, shouldn't it? Well, it's actually rather strange. The people of California seem to love living outside of the box and trying something new, weird, and wonderful, and this donut burger certainly ticks the boxes. They can eat this with no issues, but I have a feeling that other people would struggle to chow down on all of that sugar, salt, and juices that seem to be coming from everywhere.
