I grew up in Florida. "Florida style" is just Cuban and sea food. The only quintessentially Florida thing I ever ate in Florida was fried gator. God I miss Cuban food.

I tried fried Gator the other day. Better than chicken!

Would key lime pie be quintessentially Floridian?

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, that's a good one! Honestly I forgot key limes are a Florida thing, having lived all over the U.S. I've never experienced any issues getting my hands on key limes or their pie, so they're definitely available and popular nationwide. I can go grab both from my local Safeway on the complete opposite end of the country.
That reminds me that oranges used to be THE Florida thing as well, before citrus canker wiped them out in the 90s. Now all Florida Orange Juice^TM is from California.

I still have yet to find orange juice with extra pulp anywhere else in the country. Its hard to find it with normal amounts even.
