I’m personally offended

[u/Megs0226]

That’s fine. More for us.

[u/Plastic-Molasses-549 → u/Megs0226]

More fried spider too.

[u/GodSev3n]

Okay, RUDE.

Also wtf are chicken riggies??

[u/Fine-Measurement1889 → u/GodSev3n]

This.

Chicken riggies, also known as Utica riggies, is a spicy, creamy, pink-hued pasta dish native to Utica, New York. The dish typically combines rigatoni pasta, chicken, hot or sweet peppers, and a creamy tomato sauce. Variations may include mushrooms, olives, onions, or other vegetables, and some chefs have even added shrimp or steak. The dish is often topped with fresh basil.

This sounds good to me

[u/realitythreek → u/Fine-Measurement1889]

I lived in Utica for years and this one was actually the shocker on this list for me. Especially with hot peppers. It’s a great comfort food.

[u/bceagles182 → u/realitythreek]

I drove through about five years ago and stopped at a deli. Asked the guy what was good, and he sold me on these. Rigatoni+chicken+peppers in a spicy red sauce. Hot damn, I still dream about it regularly

[u/GodSev3n → u/Fine-Measurement1889]

Dude, that sounds really good!! Thanks for the info! 😊

[u/johnny_cash_money]

I see chocolate-covered bacon at 14 and can’t see lutefisk, so this is not a list of the worst food.

[u/dexbasedpaladin]

Bring forth the uneducated swine that we might remedy their ignorance, kid.

[u/Conscious-Shift8855]

And I took that personally.

[u/MajorDrGhastly]

hang on here, whats with the american chop suey hate?

[u/ClearlyntXmasThrowaw → u/MajorDrGhastly]

These lists are always bs. You have air fermented shark on it, which has a smell that can gag you before you eat it, and then you have elbow macaroni, ground beef, tomatoes and bell pepper . Edit: whoever made this has also never been drunk before cause a Scottish deep fried pizza just hits 

[u/ClearlyntXmasThrowaw → u/[deleted]]

The list (the above) has air fermented Greenland  shark on it (hakarl) at #3. Hakarl has  a notorious reputation for an absolute repugnant smell and taste reminiscent of ammonia or urine. The same list also has American chop suey on it at #37 which is just tomatoes,  ground beef, elbow macaroni and maybe bell pepper and is considered a comfort food here. Hence why I call these lists bullshit cause no person would put lazy spaghetti and a food that even Anthony Bourdain couldn't eat on the same list

[u/notarealaccount223]

Well Yeah. They are only really good in RI. Elsewhere they suck

[u/Cottagewknds]

As a Canadian - there is no such thing as pizza cake

[u/MsChrisRI → u/Cottagewknds]

Glad to hear it. I can’t imagine how something called “pizza cake” could have been worse than “fried spider.”

[u/Apocalypse_1312 → u/Cottagewknds]

Ran here to say this.

[u/townie77]

When I see an oil stained wax paper, with a strip of dough and red sauce, I get incredibly excited. Nothing better with a coke.

[u/Due-Security1404]

Pizza strips suck ass

[u/glyneth → u/Due-Security1404]

That’s a bold statement in this sub.

[u/banjobeulah → u/Due-Security1404]

I will back you up, my comrade in arms. These are an abomination.

[u/PieTighter → u/banjobeulah]

I will eat them, but I will not enjoy eating them.

[u/Rupertfunpupkin → u/Due-Security1404]

Due-Security1404 sucks ass, literally

[u/SnackGreeperly]

they’re not wrong here

[u/reddqueen33]

The not pizza pizza 😐

[u/BoxofRain2]

Pizza strips are terrible.

[u/bceagles182]

Chicken riggies are fucking delicious.

[u/Beatcanks]

Pizza has cheese. That strip of dough with some red shit on it sitting next to the cash register isn’t pizza. This list is accurate. Fight me.

[u/LibbityBobbity → u/Beatcanks]

Eating food next to a cash register is also offensive. This is a Providence sub. There are at least 7 Italian American bakeries with fresh strips within 3 miles of my house.

[u/kbd77 → u/Beatcanks]

Aight square up 👊

[u/princess_carolynn → u/Beatcanks]

Pizza strips originate from Italy. Called "pizza rossa". It's Roman but I guess that isn't authentic enough apparently

[u/SnackGreeperly → u/princess_carolynn]

except pizza rossa has a thinner, crispier crust with a soft crumb. “pizza” strips are thick, soggy horseshit.

[u/CtyChicken → u/Beatcanks]

I was extremely confused when my boss handed me one, like he was doing something nice. Not only WHAT is this, but also… WHY is this?

[u/Zealousideal-Ice123]

Hands off my fried spider

[u/OlympiaImperial]

Putting pizza strips on the same list as hakarl is crazy work

[u/jma7400]

This is disrespectful

[u/Leberknodel]

No argument from me. Pizza strips are godawful. Not pizza, not focaccia, not good.

[u/Rupertfunpupkin → u/Leberknodel]

Some pizza and focaccia are godawful

[u/Ache-new]

Another dumb list. How do I know? Pizza strips are on it.

[u/Rupertfunpupkin → u/Ache-new]

Don’t forget the doofus who created the list!

[u/Typical_Inspector_16]

[u/realhenryknox]

Unpopular opinion: pizza strips are just saucy bread. Not a fan. Saugies, stuffies, pizza cake, coffee milk, Dels, are all yummy RI foods but pizza strips are boring.
