What are the regional food specialities of your local area?

I'm on my last full day in the Philly area for this trip and decided today is home comfort food day. I am actually from the Philly burbs and am of Pennsylvania Dutch stock. The Dutchies (which are actually German in ancestry..german=deutsche=dutch) from this area have their own regional food specialities.

On my shopping list today, I have - red beet eggs, pepper cabbage, whoopie pies (trendy now but very much a Pa Dutch item) and shoofly pie.

What are the regional food treasures of your local area? The stuff that you can't guarantee you will find in other parts when you travel.
