This is "laugh or cry" territory, so I'm putting it here. Some Redditor decided to have AI generate a map of the most popular regional food in each state, and this is what it came up with. It just gets better (for certain values of the term) the more you look.

I had to laugh when I looked off to the right saw the shrimp pork. I wondered, are they eating little potbellied pigs?

I ask for the coffee maker anyway, the way I won't have to get dressed for my first morning cuppa.

As long as you weren’t stark nekkid, I’m sure you’d have been better dressed than anyone else you encountered in the wee hours!

Me: "What about coffee packets to go into it?" 

If they sent up coffee packets, I’m sure there would be no filters…or no cups…or…

 

When I traveled a lot for work, I kept a ziplock that tucked neatly between the handle rails of my carry-on with tea bags, oatmeal, single-serving pucks of peanut butter and jam (hoarded from my work cafeterias) some of those Wasa crackers sure to survive a nuclear attack, prunes - almost as durable (and yes, as effective as the Wasa),  plastic utensils, several folded paper towels, wet wipes, etc. It got me through a LOT of unexpectedly late arrivals when I needed to be at work very early!

 

Those in-room coffee makers always gave me pause though. If I wanted to use them for hot water, I always ran 3 cycles of water through to get rid of the stale coffee smell. I think you were likely saved by the ineptness of this operation!

I've seen a few too many social media posts of people doing hideous things with hotel room appliances to use them anymore.

So? Many food names use geographical names to indicate a type; not an origin. Do English muffins come from England? English Peas? No. I can buy American bacon made here in China. Anyway, Calabria is right next door to Sicily. Nothing unusual.

...and I've grown Genovese basil and San Marzano tomatoes here in NB, as far as that goes. 

Ddanno had expressed mystification, so explained why it'd tickled Shel's funnybone. No editorial comment or endorsement, express or implied, etc etc.
