What are the foods for North and South Dakota? I don't think I've ever heard of those before.

Probably things like grilled foods like I previously mentioned and Norweigian stuff like Lutefisk and Hotdish.

brats = bratwurst. If you don't know, you probably don't know what I'm looking for. I like Wisconsin's grilling style, with some of Chicago's foods like sausage and Italian beef.

Best brats -- Schmidt's in Columbus.
Best Polish food -- Slavic Village in Cleveland

I know this is just a fun map and not really meant to be taken seriously. But Oregon should really be Coho or Chinook salmon...It's not like people eat hazelnuts regularly---that seems to be more something you'd buy in a giftshop for your out-of-state aunt. When I think of popular local foods that are on a lot of menus, or served up at a dinner party or cookout, I'm thinking of salmon. For Washington, I'd actually say oysters(which are a big industry in Willapa Bay or Hood Canal or Puget Sound) or Dungeness Crab rather than apples.

Grapes in California are popular as far as winemaking goes, but I've never had a craving for California grapes. You mention California, I'm thinking Mission-style or San Diego-style burritos, artichokes(fried or steamed), or in Northern California---San Francisco-style cioppino with sourdough bread on the side.

No, pieriogis are little potato dumplings, pasties are beef/potato/onion/rutabaga pies.

RE: bratwurst, I'd like to try Schmidt's some time to see if they are as good as Usinger's from Milwaukee. Best I've ever had.

Can't buy pasties down here in TN so I settle for Mrs T's potato and onion pierogies as a close second. Pierogies are also tasty.
Had to laugh at Nevada having 'buffet' for their favorite food, that pretty much covers everything!
