Fun article trying to find one particular recipe which represents each state. Quite a kerfuffle over Grape Salad for Minnesota. Many are laughing at that saying they never heard of it.
For N.C. it picks Sweet Potato Cornbread which I've never heard of either but we surely do love our cornbread and sweet potatoes so why not put the two together.
I think that New York Times is not tuned into many of the States (I checked out some of the comments for some of the States). For Alaska, maybe it is the Russian community that eats Salmon Pie as a traditional Thanksgiving dish but for the mass majority, we haven't heard of it and nonetheless included it as a Thanksgiving mainstay.
However, I will say that there are some great sounding recipes to try.
The stuffing they have for Massachusetts looks so good. Anything with chourico and clams in it has to be yummy. Reminds me I haven't made the Portuguese dish of chourico and clams (so good) in way too long.
They have Florida correct. I remember many many many a mojo Turkey for dinner.
Yep second that! If the original 20 folks would have confirmed instead of only ten I would have made a Cajun and a mojo turkey. Might still make a mojo turkey breast, haven't decided.
That grape salad is actually pretty awesome, but it's not anymore the quintessential "Minnesota" dish than, well, most of the others posted for states in which I've lived.

I was going to get a bbq smoked turkey (land of bbq around here) but I convinced them that we NEED to do mojo turkey like we used to back in FL. They agreed.
Oyster dressing for Alabama?!?! It's good, I know, but it's primarily limited to the Gulf Coast - an area that might account for 5% of Alabama.
Oh, and those shrimp-stuffed mirlitons (chayotes), attributed to Louisiana, are very good.
