Late night thought on a road trip in the US and I can't stop think what an "All American meal with a great from every state" would consist of. Like something that a state is know for being exceptional in from beef to white tail to peaches to oastets to sunflowers to almonds to coffee. Even better it's something an average American could actually eat in one meal.

Extra bonus points include the greater US (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands)!

If others want to through other wide geographic/culture dishes like an EU, North African, all of China please do so too, it would be interesting to see too!

For the Virgin Islands, maybe go with salt fish, callaloo, and fungi (cornmeal & okra dumplings, not mushrooms).

Salt fish, and corn meal seem super versatile options!

Callaloo seems really interesting, but it is new to me, what plant(s) would you say would be the most best from the Virgin Islands for it? (If that question even makes sense, my ddg searches tell different places have different sources).
