Hey, yinzers! Three cheers for just how unique we - and our beloved Burgh - are! Newcomers and visitors to the city often experience a bit of culture shock. After all, we've got our own language of Pittsburghese, stop before driving through tunnels, and eat some really, well, different food combinations. Here are six strange food combinations from Pittsburgh; what others would you add to the list?
1. Sandwich with fries and coleslaw
Three cheers to Primanti Brothers for inventing a hearty sandwich that makes the perfect meal. How can you not love a sandwich that's topped with both fries and coleslaw?
2. The Pittsburgh Salad
Fries are a big deal in the Burgh, wouldn't you say? We've got the Primanti Brothers sandwich, and Pittsburghers love a good helping of Potato Patch fries. And, of course, there's the Pittsburgh salad. A delightfully delicious salad topped with - what else? - French fries.
3. Pierogi pizza
Pittsburghers are all about the pierogi. After all, how many other cities do you know that cheer on pieorgis as they race around a baseball field? Pair that love of pieorgies with passion for pizza, and what do you get? Pierogi pizza, of course.
4. Gravy on fries
Of course, Pittsburgh's a Heinz town so you'll find plenty of us eating Heinz ketchup or mustard on our fries. But, some of us prefer something a little more hearty on top - gravy.
5. Liver and onions
Whether you love it or hate it, you simply can't deny that liver and onions are a combo that Pittsburghers know a little something about.
6. Mussels and fries
Hats off to Point Brugge Cafe for their strange but delectable food combo: Mussels and fries. Does it get any better?
Let's keep going! What other strange food combinations from Pittsburgh belong on a part two of this list? Join the conversation below! On that note, we're all about the weird in the Burgh, aren't we? Like, say, these 10 delightfully weird things you'll only find in Pittsburgh.
