We eat grinders in CT....

Yes you heard that correct, we eat grinders in Connecticut.  I am not talking about the machine that grinds large objects into smaller pieces, I am talking about a sandwich.  In CT we understand that other parts of the country call these creations hoagies or subs, but no one seems to recognize grinder.Ham grinder

 

Package StoreFrom what I understand is most of the country wouldn't know what is sold in a "Package Store".  No, they don't sell moving supplies or empty boxes, this is where we buy our booze (most are in much better shape then the one in the picture).  In Connecticut, liquor stores sell everything including beer, wine, and liquor.  In contrast, I was in NY one time when I was younger and went to a liquor store to get some beer.  After 5 minutes of not finding even 1 can of beer I had to ask the person who worked there where I could find any.  Turns out that I had to go to the pharmacy next door to get it, which was interesting since they aren't allow to sell liquor here in CT. 

I'm sure most states have their unusual names for foods and stores, feel free to share.  Who knows, it may come in handy if someone wants to get a sandwich or a beer in a state they never visited.
