Foods Each State Hates

This map by Hackernoon used data provided by the dating app Hater to determine which foods are most disproportionally disliked, relative to how other states feel about those foods. Take a look around, and it appears that many states' pick for the worst food is less about how the food actually tastes, and more about what that food represents. The environmentally-minded coffee connoisseurs of Washington state hate Keurig K-Cups. Macho Montana hates pumpkin spice flavors. And while Texas cattle ranchers love steak, they hate seeing it overcooked. Some make sense, like Kansas disliking shellfish. The shellfish they get isn't as fresh as it would be anywhere else. A few states are confusing, like Missouri. There must be a story somewhere about the last bite of a hot dog. See the enlargeable image at Hackernoon.  -via Uproxx

I would venture to guess that Tennessee Hater users are trying to distance themselves from their poverty-stricken ancestors. My mother collected dandelion greens, blackberries, sassafras, and black walnuts as a kid (and so did I, but I wasn't in Tennessee).

I had to google Asian FusionĀ­. I still don't know what it is. Outside of NYC and LA, I don't think anyone does so I accept that.

Is "dabbing pizza grease with a napkin" a food? Do they then suck on the napkin to get some flavor? I lived in Virginia a long time and their pizza was nothing to write home about.

Go Montana! And to a certain extent New Joisey. . . .
