I’ve got to agree, if you mean that these are some pretty off-the-wall selections. The only one I think I’d be able to order within a 500+ mile radius is egg salad.

Is brown bread and beans a sandwich? I mean, I have had it, lots as a kid, as leftovers from a franks & beans dinner, but it’s not something you can pick up in your hands and eat, at least not without a big plate under you and utensils and lots of napkins. We’d typically have it open-faced with a knife and fork, like beans on toast. I can’t remember seeing it on a menu without the requisite franks.

Pimento cheese off the wall?

What I found "off-the-wall" is the odd comparison of regional specialties. You’d have as hard a time finding pimento cheese much north of the Mason-Dixon line as you would finding brown bread (or half-decent baked beans) in the South or Southwest or fry bread in the northeast. The poll writers clarified the point of the poll.
