What do you think about the food for the states with which you are
familiar?

Alabama - fried apple pie - the best fried pies I have ever had were made
by an Alabama grandmother, so I won't argue.

Georgia - peach pie - I've never eaten peach pie here in Georgia,
although our peaches are delicious. I might have guessed a Vidalia onion
dish.

Florida - Cuban sandwich - never ate one in Florida. I do love them. I
think I would have guessed key lime pie, seafood, or something with
oranges.

Alabama and Georgia would be well represented by some good southern
vegetables with cornbread.

It seems less ridiculous than some similar lists we've seen.

I think cherry pie was a good choice for Michigan. As far as the Cobb
Salad for California, not in this day and age. Something Mexican
would be a better representation today. Good Cobb Salads, like the
one in the picture, are hard to find - but good Mexican food is all
over the place.

I must be blind today! Didn't even see the link until your reply and
thought we had to make our own list. *sheepish look* At least I got WA
right!

Nobody's asking you to reply to every post, troll. Thankfully, most people here are on to your shit, now.

North Dakota and South Dakota: Knoephla. This is a German dumpling soup.
I just looked it up because I wasn't sure which Dakota I ate it in.
Apparently common to both and also Minnesota.

Oregon: Tillmaook Cheese. marionberries.

Washington: Smoked Salmon, huckleberries.

Idaho: Potatoes.

Kansas: Sunflower seeds, popcorn.

Nebraska: Beef.

New York: Pizza

California: Avocados.

Maine: Lobster, blueberries.

Massachusetts: Seafood, Portuguese food.

Pennsylvania: Cabbage rolls, Pierogi, poppy seed rolls.

Knoephla may be common in parts of Minnesota (I'm guessing parts that
border the Dakotas), but it is most definitely not common to most of
Minnesota. I have never once seen it on a menu across the state, nor have
I ever heard a single person talk of making it. You can't believe
everything you read on the net.

My friend in Minnesota has never mentioned it either but I don't think I
ever asked her.

I am from Minnesota originally and I would have voted for corn dogs, which
while ubiquitous now, we're invented and popularized in good old Minnesota
at the state fair.

For MN I would have listed hotdish!! Second to that, lefse. I would never
call the Juicy Lucy "iconic" because for the most part it's only known to
people that live in the Twin Cities.

whenever I see these lists I only think, there should be a state whose name
starts with the letter "B"

but maybe that's just me

North Dakota - I vote for lefse.

Looks better than most lists. PA was the cheesesteak, but could have
been scrapple or soft pretzels

MA, CT, RI had good examples also.

I lived in Tennessee for 35 years and I never heard of a "Mountain Stack
Cake". Then again, Memphis was a long way from the Appalachian mountains.

The problem with lists like this is most states are pretty darned big.
There are tons of regional differences. For west TN I'd have to say
something like banana pudding. Made with 'nilla wafers.

I had no idea hoppin' John was considered a South Carolina thing,
either. I'd guess shrimp & grits before I'd think of black-eyed peas.

I think some of these selections were made by throwing darts. Limiting a
state to just one iconic dish may work for a few but look at Louisiana
for example. You got gumbo, jambalaya, red beans and rice, po' boys,
grillades and grits, bread pudding, andouille, boudin, oysters whatever,
and so on. How do you pick just one?

For NJ they list the hoagie. No one around here calls it a
hoagie, it's a sub. Witness Jersey Mike's Subs, originated
30 plus miles south of me.

Could be different as you get closer to Philadelphia, but
I don't know.

There was a sub shop in Berwick, PA. Even had the name "sub" in it. People
said they were going there to get a hoagie. So they use both names.

Is there really a difference? I think it's largely academic, like the
modern distinction between say a brat and a Polish sausage.

Lots of things in PA that can't be had elsewhere. They have the soft,
square pizza too and CMPs.

The soft pizza is good! A CMP is a sundae with caramel, marshmallow and
peanuts. Ew on that from me. Not sure what kind of ice cream it uses as I
don't do ice cream.

Well, the fish part is big.
