Besides Rhode Island not a lot of state birds looking tasty 😅

But maybe on to something for options looking at state game birds, water fowl, and duck!

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.

Down to the city! Gotta order some from down there now!

I’m so glad cheese curds are more popular then they were, they’re great! I haven’t had any fresh in Wisconsin but I bet they know how to make them best!

I know, I was thinking just ingredients from each state, but all the different forms people have recommended makes me think you could take these ingredients and make a bunch of different styles of meals like you were saying.

To add to your list from others on here and some I thought of. Burritos, tacos, pasties, hotpots, stir fries, burgers, pho, sushi rolls, etc, because we have such a diversity of people here!

Oh man, bbq, there was a restaurant that did that well in Virginia that let you taste different styles of bbq sauce and seasonings from across the country. It was awesome! For NC are you talking about their sauce that doesn’t have tomato is much stronger viniger flavor for it? Another interesting bbq is Alabama white bbq sauce which also forgoes tomato base and instead has a mayo and horseradish base!

All great! A seasoning should be super versatile in different recipes (I know people who would old bay on litterally anything too, so it probably would be the first time if it seemed weird).

Interesting what makes Connecticut pizza stand out to you?

These snozz berries taste like snozz berries

Ooh what kinda of flavor is Virginia ham normally?

Love all those myself! Great choices to pick from

Buttery sweet corn feels super versatile in my mind for meals! Buckeyes as a or part of a larger desert maybe!

Kentucky I can only assume. Great choice could used in cooking, sauce or you know as a drink!

Honestly I feel like a couple burritos could cover a lot of ingredients from places!

Not including Minnesota cheese would feel like a crime!

Man a couple states come to mind, which one do you think would have the best?

Which state is that?

Salt fish, and corn meal seem super versatile options!

Callaloo seems really interesting, but it is new to me, what plant(s) would you say would be the most best from the Virgin Islands for it? (If that question even makes sense, my ddg searches tell different places have different sources).
