The Mayfield Salad is actually the Mayfair Salad, originating at the Mayfair Hotel, now The Magnolia Hotel. It's a creamy, anchovy- based salad dressing.

The pasta dish is Musk-a-cholli a St. Louis wedding reception staple. Known throughout the remainder of the world as Mostaccioli.

And you forgot Gooey Butter cake.

[fork]ing hilarious! As someone who's traveled to a lot of places in the U.S., I would put St. Louis food up against just about any other city. You should try places other than Fazoli's and Cecil Whitakers.

You have awful taste in food and music. Typical STL idiot. Your "U.S." travels do not amount to a pile of sh*t.

You appear to be a weak, cowardly c*nt. Do us all a favor, during your next auto-[redacted] session, please strangle yourself until you're dead so we don't have to read your [shirt] any more. Thanks in advance.

I found gooey butter cake ice cream at Kroger in Indiana.

Yeah, I’ve never seen muscaciolli made like that outside St. Louis. I would add Famous Barr’s Onion Soup. I’ve never found it made that way anywhere else.

I don't get angry when a scrotum-gargler like you crosses my path. But I like that you think I'm angry. Now be a good little tweaker and get back in that trailer of yours.

Looks like we’ve found ourselves a couple of intellectual and sophisticated cosmopolitan connoisseurs of international cultures. We are so blessed.
