Official state foods

Each state has a lot to offer when it comes to food. With a rich and vast history, each sector of the United States has developed its own culinary staples. You may be able to think of some of the best hamburgers, best pizzerias, and best coffee shops for each state, but do you know there's a specific food that each place is known for that goes beyond traditional restaurants? Some of these food choices may even come as a surprise.

How we choose the official state foods

Many states recognize a specific food as a symbol of their state, whether it's the official state fruit, vegetable, dessert, or even snack. You can read more about each state's history through food on their respective government websites. Still, there are a few states that haven't declared any type of food as their own, so we chose some favorite foods that honor the state's history and its people.

Alabama: Lane cake

If you've never heard of Lane cake, this delicious dessert is a bourbon layer cake with a unique filling that includes pecans, coconut, and raisins. Lane cake was named the official state dessert of Alabama in 2016, and it got a shout-out in the classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

Learn more about Arkansas...

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The first people to live on the land now called Arkansas arrived around 11,650 B.C. Thousands of years later, around A.D. 650, a group of Native Americans called the Plum Bayou built mysterious mounds of dirt that can still be seen today at Toltec Mounds Archaeological State Park. Other Native American tribes who lived on the land included the Caddo, Chickasaw, Osage, Quapaw, and Tunica.

The first European to reach the area was Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto in 1541. In 1682 the land was claimed for France as a part of the Louisiana Territory, a huge mass of land including most of the central United States. That territory was purchased by the United States in 1803. Almost thirty years later Congress passed the Indian Removal Act, which forced Native Americans leave the area, moving to land west of the Mississippi River. Thousands of Native Americans died on this journey, known the Trail of Tears. A few years later Arkansas became the 25th U.S. state.

In 1861 at the start of the Civil War, Arkansas was a Confederate state. That meant it wanted to break away from the United States and form another country with other nearby states. But the loyalties of Arkansas' residents were divided: Many fought in favor of the Union. (The Confederacy would lose the war, keeping the Union intact.)

History was made in 1957 when nine African-American students were escorted by Army troops into Little Rock Central High School, which previously only allowed white students to attend. This was an important milestone in the nation's civil rights movement.
