The Grossest Food in Iowa That People Actually LOVE

Thrillist came up with a list titled, "Every State's Grossest Food (That People Actually LOVE)," and Iowa's probably won't come as a shock.

Coming from Michigan, I was a little confused the first time I heard about the loose meat sandwich. Loose meat? What's that? Is it like a Sloppy Joe?

Now that I've been here a while, I'm more familiar with the sandwich, but I've still never tried one. I guess it's just not my thing. I'm not the only one, though, because it was named the "grossest" food in Iowa that people actually love. Thrillist writes:

"It looks like a Sloppy Joe that forgot to get dressed, or a burger that just gave up on life. The taste ain't gonna hurt ya -- again, it's bread and meat -- but it isn't likely to win any sandwich beauty contests, either. Also, 'loose meat' just isn't the most appealing phrasing. Maybe an image makeover is in order."

Hey, at least we don't have the "Brain Sandwich" like Indiana, or "Livermush" like North Carolina!
