Question: Looking for recipes where part of the name is a state name

mailbox125 — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 06:25:58 -0800

I am looking for recipes that contain state names in their name. So far I have been able to come up with Baked Alaska, California Rolls and Mississippi Mud Pies. There have to be more, what am I missing?

Does Kentucky Fried Chicken count?

Brute force approach: go here (or here) and type state names into the search engine.

Alabama Slammer
Baked Alaska
Arizona Chicken
Arkansas Sin
California Roll (sushi)

etc.

I believe it is MANHATTAN Clam Chowder, not NY.

And Boston is not a state last time I checked.

My grandmother has a biscuit recipe we've always referred to as Alabama Biscuits. I have no idea what the actual recipe is, though.

Also, I've never heard of Manhattan Clam Chowder, nor New York Clam Chowder. New England Clam Chowder, though, that I've heard of.

New England and Manhattan Clam Chowders are more "styles" than recipes, like Memphis style ribs.

Maine lobster, again, isn't really a recipe, but you could use it in a pinch.

The difference between Manhattan and New England clam chowders is the presence of tomatoes.

My wife just had a California Burger the other day.

Does a 'Colorado Bulldog' count?

By: unixrat

Also 'Denver Omelette' and 'Cincinnati Spaghetti', but those aren't states.

Louisiana Crawfish Boil (except that I make it with shrimp and use Louisinana Crawfish, Crab & Shrimp Boil instead of mixing up the spices myself).

Doing a bit of googling it looks like "Montana Tendergroin" is another name for Rockey Mountain Oysters.

Mmmmm. More testicles means more iron!

Thanks for all the great suggestions so far. To be clear I am only looking for recipes that have state names in them, not city names. I had not thought about meals that where just one ingredient, such as a Maine lobster, but I will take what I can get. Guess that means a baked Idaho potato makes the list as well.

I've definitely seen Arkansas-style and Texas-style bbq ribs. And there's Wisconsin and Vermont Cheddar (or cheese in general) if you have to sink to a single ingredient.

I'd bet every state has some drink named after it even if it's only at one Hotel or Bar in that state.

Derby pie goes by a number of names (since "Derby Pie" is trademarked). Several of the variations include "Kentucky" (I believey Kentucky Pecan Pie is the most common). Plus, what could be better than chocolate chip cookies in pie form?

I frequently see common items (hamburgers especially) with avocado in them referred to as California -whatever-.

If you just go to google and type in "state name recipe" you'll find something for pretty much every state (or at least my random sampling did).

Chicken Maryland.

Would, say, a Georgia peach or Maine lobster count? Idaho potatoes are not necessarily from Idaho, so maybe that?

Texas Caviar. Mmmm, good. Ain't no real caviar anywhere near it. Poor folks' recipe -- blackeyed peas, onion, bell peppers, cilantro, more ingredients I can't remember. Great with tortilla chips and margaritas.

There's the whole Texas BBQ vs. Tennessee BBQ thing. Although I think TN bbq may be identical to North Carolina pulled pork.

ohio casserole (otherwise known as the green bean cassserole that you find on the can of french's french fried onions....)

be sure to add soy sauce and hot sauce instead of salt and pepper (as the original recipe from the 50's called for) as well as using FROZEN green beans... not canned and not fresh. FROZEN.

Maida Heatter included a Kentucky Cake in Maida Heatter's Cakes. A two-tiered, with dark spice and lemon layers and 7 minute frosting. She doesn't say what makes it specifically a Kentucky cake, but she does say that it was previously called a Union cake.

I went to school in Kansas. When I lived in the dorms they always served "Kansas Dirt" on Kansas Day. It was that dessert that has smashed oreo cookies, some sort of pudding, and gummy worms in it.
