I only know this bcz I read a mystery writer and her stories take place in MN and the books are based around cooking.

As far as Ohio is concerned...buckeyes are NOT as popular as that infographic says they are.

Many Hot Browns also include ham with the turkey, and either pimentos or tomatoes over the sauce, and imitation Hot Browns sometimes substitute a commercial cheese sauce instead of the Mornay."

I am sure if I asked the Kentuckians in my office they may have heard of it...but most will talk to you about the whiskey. :D

But I don't know if I would have chosen key lime pie for FL. I am thinking stone crabs, oysters, Cuban sandwich or something.

Salmon candy :confused:

it's like smoked salmon jerky with a syrup-y coating... more savory than sweet... I didn't know it was unusual!
