Someone already said walleye for MN, and it's so true! Walleye, walleye, walleye. And wild rice. Although fresh caught sunnies fried over the campfire are a staple.
And yeah, beer and brats in Wisconsin.
Harking back to summers with my poor south Louisiana relatives: crawfish gumbo with the crawfish caught in the canefield irrigation ditches and probably incredibly carcinogenic and the legs pulled off over newspapers. Dirty rice, and it doesn't count if it doesn't have okra in it.
In Okalahoma, all the good powwows have old ladies who bring and sell their own special FRYBREAD. Some kind of ground beef mixture, sometimes a chili, is usually served with it.
In IA and other midwestern states corn-on-the-cob in the summertime. It's no good unless it was picked less than 2 hours ago. Forget what you find in the grocery stores, that doesn't count. And how about the midwestern summer garden supper? Tomatoes and snap beans (cooked with bacon fat) and corn on the cob with some sort of dead pig accompaniment.
From my childhood in IN I'm remembering apple butter served on fried biscuits. Oh, gotta go back to the Nashville House!
Bison burgers are becomming pretty common on menus in ND.
In sw TX I first encountered Tex-Mex. Whatever it was was always served with squishy white wonder bread and large slices of nasty margerine - guess that's the Tex part. The Mex part was usually good.
When I visit my relatives in western WA it's always salmon - baked or broiled. They always send me smoked salmon for Christmas.
Location: northern Vermont - previously NM, WA, & MA

sounds good, I'd also add green chile enchiladas, and don't forget the honey with the sopapillas.
