Late night thought on a road trip in the US and I can’t stop think what an “All American meal with a great from every state” would consist of. Like something that a state is know for being exceptional in from beef to white tail to peaches to oastets to sunflowers to almonds to coffee. Even better it’s something an average American could actually eat in one meal.
Extra bonus points include the greater US (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands)!
If others want to through other wide geographic/culture dishes like an EU, North African, all of China please do so too, it would be interesting to see too!
Every US state has official state foods, sometimes getting as specific as state vegetable, state dessert, state grape, etc.
This list should give you a head start: list of official US state foods
Man, that is both a huge list (I didn’t even think about state mushrooms for example) and also surprising to see some states have none! You’re right great heat start for a list.
I’m saying for AZ it would be prickly pear cactus jelly
Only 5 states with a non desert, prepared food, LA gumbo, CT pizza, OK has a whole meal, TX chilli, and NJ taylor swift sandwich
