I have never HEARD of the election cake they suggest for Connecticut and I've been here 30+ years. nor really any of the other foods except oysters, which you practically never see anymore because they've been overharvested and there was pollution in the Sound. I've eaten them, never made them.

I have trouble picking a representative food for state since its such an absolute mishmash of cultures. "fusion cuisine" would probably be the best description. I don't even live in a big town and I can get everything from guinea pig to kibbe to sushi to moussaka within a 20 minute drive. Since its all here, it makes for some...interesting home cooking sometime. You mean you're not supposed to put bratwurst in pita?

LOL we have a lot of fusion here in PA too but some of the recipes i saw in there astound me! I mean the one recipe Shoofly Pie. IT IS SUGAR GOO TOPPED WITH SUGAR CRUMBLE LITERALLY!

Just call if the Wilford Brimley special. DIABETUS!!!

I resemble that remark.

DIABEETUS!

Even though this is an interesting challenge for Nevada there is no official state food.... So I need to ask if I do this challenge are you wanting old traditional meals, conventional meals or modern meals? I'll also post this question on chrismukkah's meme because I need an answer before I can start...

Perhaps Canadians can join in with their provincial dish. I know we here in Manitoba are well known for our Perogies.

MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm there is something Manitoba has in Common with PA here in the states. it may not be an official dish but perogies are everywhere around here. and delicious

I actually live in the perogie capital of Canada, our town has only like 50 or 60 people in it and our mascot is a dancing perogie. Granted when the people that live around here are all older women who learned how to make them since they were little girls, you tend to get all the best of the best. I miss the big fall supper, all the perogies and cabbage rolls I could eat, and the pies. *drools in contented happiness*

I'm from Australia and the iconic food that has been spoken since the early 1900's in my state, South Australia, is the Pie Floater.

The Pie Floater is a meal consisting of a meat pie served upside down in a dish of pea soup. Topped with a healthy dollop of tomato sauce. It is common in South Australia, and sometimes seen in other parts of Australia. The pie floater is a popular midnight snack for drinkers and revelers.

Ingredients
•1 meat pie (commercial pies are fine (in South Australia its a Balfours Meat Pie))
•1 can pea soup
+ tomato sauce

Procedure
•Heat the Pie in an oven. A microwave will not work as well, as the pie pastry will not be crisp.
•Heat the pea soup separately.
•Place the pie upside down in the dish, and pour the pea soup around it until the dish is full.
Serve with Tomato Sauce


I don't have time to make up any pie floaters at the moment but felt I wanted to share it with you anyhow. I would usually use a Balfours Meat Pie and traditionally make homemade pea soup rather than a canned version simply because it tastes better.
