You do know Chicago isn’t a state, right?
I think we’re pushing the envelope a bit when we get to varietals. California hands down wins the “wine” category, but does Washington make better Rieslings? Beer would be a dogfight - do you go with Wisconsin or Missouri for tradition or more recent contenders like Oregon or Colorado?
Hawaiian pineapples
Rhode Island coffee milk.
RI Del’s Lemonade (properly mixed, not that take home DIY bucket)
Oregon has beavers.
Make your own joke.
And California oranges for that matter. Suck it Florida!
Hawaii no longer produces pineapple except for the local market. Dole, Del Monte, and Maui have all ceased pineapple production in Hawaii for export. The latter continues some production for the local market.
Upper Michigan Pasties. They really are unique, they are very popular, and that is the only place you can get them.
Louisiana Crawfish.
I’m sure everyone knew about the avacados but I just learned about the almonds because of the drought we’re having and people are complaining that the almond crop takes up a good percentage of the states water usage. From what I heard we grow most of the worlds almonds.
Where do we get our pinapples now?
Beer and wine probably shouldn’t count at all according to your rules. Like pizza or chili, one can make them anywhere, with varying quality.
Kansas bierocks, you Nebraskans can keep your runzas!
Probably Brazil or Costa Rica in the U.S, with some from Mexico. Here’s the top ten producers: Brazil, Philippines, Thailand, Costa Rica, Indonesia, India, China, Nigeria, Mexico, and Vietnam.
Speaking of onions, Washington has Walla Walla Sweets, and Hawaii has Maui onions.
Louisiana crawfish
Kentucky Burbon.
Interesting. Thanks.
Oregon:
Marionberries (which aren’t related to the mayor of Washington DC)
And Hoodies.
Washington: apples
Wisconsin and Oregon: Christmas trees
Iowa: corn
Tasmanian salmon
Dungeness crabs (WA)
