You know what really Grinds my Gears about New England? Roundabouts! People do not know how to drive in those multilane Roundabouts!

Oh, we screw that up here too
We have them also but we call them what they are "Circles"

Its a rotary, not a roundabout.
Google search result: "The first traffic circle in the United States used for traffic control was Columbus Circle in New York, which opened in 1905. Traffic circles are circular or elliptical islands, with a central island 300 to 600 feet wide."
Roundabouts, rotaries, circles. whatever they are, there is one thing for certain, they are terrible, especially multi lane ones. Back in the day when traffic was at a minimum they served some purpose but not anymore. NJ has many of them and I would swear that some people get stuck in them for hours because they are afraid to exit. They crapped their pants getting in it and now cant get out of it. And I've seen them with more than the 3 or 4 exit entrances. So think we are both guilty of these out-of-date dangerous things in the more populated areas of our regions.
But with that said, I still say Manhattan clam chowder
