We Ohioans have grown up eating certain foods:Skyline Chili, for example, and Ohio Buckeyes.
But do you remember what it was like to taste these things for the first time? More importantly, do you think you’d still like them if you hadn’t grown up eating them?
Well, Movoto, the “fun” real estate blog, recently gathered together a few West Coasters who’d never before tried our regional eats and asked them to give ’em a go.
The results? Well, let’s just say it hovers between downright disgust and mild curiosity.
See for yourself, here:

how was it down right disgust and mild curiosity when at the end everyone said they enjoyed most of it?
Umami? Mouth feel? Stay weird, West Coast.
Ok. The chineese chick and the crackhead in the lumberjack shirt were just azzholes.
Garbage plate mention @ 2:43 that’s a native Rochesterian (Rochester,NY) not a west-coaster
I’ve lived in Ohio my whole life and the only one of those things I’ve eaten is the Buckeyes. Everything else i would never eat and didn’t know it was classified as “Ohio food”. I hate videos that generalize things.
I have lived in Oho all my life and have never heard of the first couple items, never tasted Skyline chili and love Buckeye chocolates ,,,, but do eat a lot of fresh corn of the cob , fresh picked apples/ strawberries/ watermelon/ squash
Terrible video….. these people are not representative of normal people…..just goof balls trying to be SHOCKING with their answers.
Disliked skyline and hated peanut butter? Sorry, that’s not a west coaster, that’s a commie.
The dude in the plaid shirt and the woman with him are just about the most annoying people I’ve ever seen!
And, while I’m at it, several items were very regional, like goeta. Most Ohioans have no clue what that even is. The video is a huge fail. Won’t be watching these anymore :c(
lol what the hell? i’ve lived in ohio for 30 years and only i’ve only ever seen the buckeyes… goetta and sourcrout??
They should NOT call this Ohioan food. I’ve lived in Ohio my ENTIRE life and I’m 34 and I have NEVER heard of ANY of this crap but the buckeye’s
BAD representation of Ohio food!!!!
I love all these idiots claiming how long they have lived in Ohio and have never heard of these foods. I had tried all of them within the first two years of living here. Do you people never venture out of your cornfields?
I’ve lived in Ohio my whole life, recently tried skyline chili and it tastes like the smell of diarrhea. Almost as bad as trashcan Teresa’s pizza.
West Coasters smh…Shoulda offered ’em some FROMUNDA cheese…
Bet they’d LOVED that….
Oh…GO BUCKEYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should have gave them some pierogies, kielbasa, stuffed cabbage, or chicken paprikash. Now that’s real Ohio food!
synopsis: take twelve odious, immature, arrogant hipsters and tell them you want their “sophisticated” west-coast take on exotic, primitive foods eaten by those backwater rubes in Ohio such as chocolate, peanut butter, chili/spaghetti, and I think something really foreign and ethnic sounding like sauerkraut and wait for their smug critique. Hilarity ensues. Boy that filmmaker really showed us!
I am from the west coast, moved to cleveland Ohio many years ago. the food that was presented is mostly favorites in the southern half of the state. Except for the skyline chili, which i love, and the buckeyes which are a fancy peanut butter cup i have only heard people from the Cincinnati area even mention the other stuff. Not a fair representation of ohio food. Pierogies, amish apple pie, paprakash this represents ohio food.
Who cares what these idiots think?????
I have no idea what goetta is, and how are pierogies and kielbasa not one of the foods? Who picked these food choices? The buckeye and skyline chili are the only things that are very Ohio. Plus these people were way overdramatic.
