Do you know Oklahoma's official state foods?
Back in May I posted an article over at BlogOklahoma.us about Oklahoma's official state foods. http://www.blogoklahoma.us/id/?244

In 1988 the state legislature defined the Oklahoma's official state meal.

"Oklahoma's Official State Meal became one of the State Emblems by virtue of House Concurrent Resolution 1083, approved in 1988 by the Forty-first Legislature. The meal includes an extensive menu reflecting Oklahoma's cultural backgrounds and the state's historical and contemporary agriculture. Meats include barbecued pork, chicken-fried steak, and sausage with biscuits and gravy. Vegetables include fried okra and squash, grits, corn, and black eyed peas. Breads include cornbread (and biscuits, as above). "Dessert" consists in strawberries and pecan pie. The types, variety, and sheer quantity of foods in the state meal (which can be divided into breakfast, lunch, and dinner) generally typify traditional southern foodways."
