Since the holidays are upon us, it's time to think about snack foods, and what our two states (WA-GOOD, VA-BAD) have to offer:
In Washington, you can feast upon our delicious smoked salmon, yum!!! In VA, you can try to ingest something called 'scrapple', a savory mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and flour, then fried.
We love our Tim's Cascade Potato Chips here in WA, a bag of crunchy goodness! Virginians claim to enjoy Porkie's Pork Rinds. I'm so sure...
Good Old Almond Roca is produced right here in WA. Yeah they have salt water taffy in VA, but can it compare with the buttercrunchy yumminess of Roca?
And here are some treats you CANNOT get in VA:
Oh Boy! Oberto ANYTHING. Good Gawd, how can you people survive without Cocktail Peps, Salami and Beef Jerky????
Fisher's Original Fair Scones and huckleberry jam. The world's best breakfast! (I know, I never made these for you guys, but trust me, they are the best and I promise to bake them when you come home)

Best post ever!!!! But you forgot to mention they only get Twizzlers in VA, no Red Vines. A complete travesty!
agreed this might be my fave post so far - besides the fact that i know Tony (and maybe Cara too?) has actually ingested Scrapple and somehow lived to tell the tale, you just can't compete with Red Vines and Oberto! :)
Beauty Lavs, beauty! Scrapple sounds like a game they could play at the new Snoqualmie Casino, and Kate you forgot to mention that J. Simpson was there opening night...another thing they missed living in stupid VA.
they probably get Homer Simpson at their casinos.
we also do not have nacho corn nuts here!
oh, and pooh has never had scrapple.
was it head cheese he ate? He swore he tried one of those hideous PA Dutch things.
