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!

    I’m in Ohio, and my reluctant suggestions for your meal would be Buckeyes (the chocolate-coated peanut butter candy, not the actual nut), that weird “Cincinnati-style” chili served over spaghetti noodles, and a big buttery ear of sweet corn. “Reluctant” because the idea of eating all 3 in one sitting really grosses me out, let alone in combination with anything else from any other state.

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