Just read the NYTimes article on the whoopie pie controversy. As a PA native, I agree with Pennsylvania's claim to the confection. Besides, Maine clearly does not "get it." Check out this quote from the article:
Donald Pilon, a state representative from Saco, objects to honoring the whoopie pie, believing that a dessert made from large amounts of shortening and sugar should not be heralded when a third of Maine children are obese.
“Whoopie pie, it’s not even a pie,” Mr. Pilon said. “It’s two pieces of cake with frosting in the middle.”

The owners of the Hurley Stone House, a B&B, make their own maple syrup, too, tapping the enourmous tree in their front garden...We had it for breakfast, and it was delicious.

Nice survey of interesting stuff. A small quibble in the olive oil piece regarding the reuse of cooking fat (which she claims is never done) I think duck or goose fat used for roasting potatoes can be strained and reused for a long time. And, thanks for the laugh! I needed that today.

Oh, what I wished for. An intellegent way to weed through all the food focused chatter going on. Thanks.
ps. It does kind of irk me though, with regards to Whoopie Pies and Maple Syrup, that these things don't get much attention until the city folk think they are worthy enough t to take them on themsleves. I've been making Whoopie pies and tapping maple trees since I was a Brownie out here in my various versions of hicksville.

My husband brought home BB&B the day it was released. I was touched by his thoughtfulness and marveled at how attuned he is to my interests and passions. Then he plopped on the couch and started reading. Hasn't given it up yet.
