what are state foods you just learned exist

Scrapple is mostly a Pennsylvania thing.

I think of potato chips being more important to hot dish than tater tots. We love wild rice hot dish, which is more uniquely Minnesota.

How far are salt potatoes from steamed cheeseburgers, geographically? I’ve got a vague New York food map.

“Steamed hams”. It’s an Albany expression.

Thank you for this!!

However, I found out about New Mexico's state cookie (biscochitos) last year, and they are now in my Christmas rotation. So like and sugary and flaky/crumbly and cinnamony! I balance the hint of ground anise with a hint of orange zest, as I was taught by the abuela who trained me.

Only New Mexico true if you actually make them with lard.

good lord, why did I google that?!

I did too. Found an article on "delawareonline":

"We've tried the dark, earthy, heritage meat and think it has a brackish, fishy flavor that lingers like a house guest who has long overstayed his welcome.

The funky taste can be hard to get rid of both in the nose and on the tongue no matter how many glasses of water or pieces of bread you eat.

But we don't want to yuck on someone's yum. Give it a try. If you dare."

Goetta
A meat-and-grain sausage or mush of German inspiration that is popular in Metro Cincinnati. It is primarily composed of ground meat (pork, or sausage and beef), steel-cut oats and spices. It was originally a dish meant to stretch out servings of meat over several meals to conserve money, and is a similar dish to scrapple and livermush, both also developed by German immigrants.

Baltimore Coddies.

Poor man’s Crabcake but bite sized.

Hot dish is not a state food it's a regional food, they are eating it all over Iowa and multiple other midwestern states. I'm sure OP has eaten some without even realizing that in certain parts of the country a steaming container of pasta, meat, sauce, cheese and possibly other stuff is simply called Hot Dish. If it's in a dish and it's hot, it's Hot Dish.

Then there's "salad" which in that part of the country often consists of jello with fruit and cool whip and sometimes rice mixed in. I think if it's got lettuce, etc in it it's called "greens" but I'm not sure. I am sure it has ranch dressing on it.

There is nothing, NOTHING! as good as Taylor ham, egg and cheese on a Kaiser roll. Absolute perfection.

I’m PP with the generous neighbor who was kind enough to introduce me to this delicacy. She’s moved out of the area unfortunately. Now outside of ordering it online or driving to New Jersey is there a store in the DMV that sells it? Would love to add it to my breakfast rotation.

I’ve gotten it at my Safeway in Kensington.

Pork roll should be eaten with apple butter. Period.

Goetta and scrapple are fantastic if cooked u til crispy.
