In addition to the new state designation, the crop is also getting support from Lieutenant Governor Suzanne Crouch. She is working through the Indiana Destination Development Corp., which promotes state tourism, to create a new popcorn trail highlighting stops where visitors can find the Indiana snack.

THE STATE VEGETABLE

Collard greens were designated as the official State Vegetable by Act Number 38 of 2011, as a result of efforts by Mary Grace Wingard, a third grader from Lexington, South Carolina. South Carolina ranks second in the nation in collard green production and Lexington County ranks first among counties in South Carolina in collard green production.

THE STATE WILDFLOWER

Goldenrod was designated as the official State Wildflower by Act Number 31 of 2003, as a result of efforts by the State Wildflower Chairman for the Garden Club of South Carolina. Goldenrod is a hardy plant having a bright yellow flower that blooms in late summer and early fall. It is found throughout the State in fields, meadows, and along roadsides.

The bill was within a few minutes of final approval by the Legislature when a state senator began offering amendments to designated numerous variations on the state muffin, for instance picking the Egg McMuffin as the official state breakfast muffin.

Most of these are fruits and vegetables that are strongly associated with a specific place: Georgia\u2019s state fruit is peach; in Florida, it\u2019s orange; and Idaho\u2019s state vegetable is, of course, the humble potato. But there are also state grains, state beans, state cookies, state desserts, state sweeteners, state nuts, state snacks, state herbs, state jellies, state treats, state pies, state cobblers, state breads, and state dairy products. Wisconsin has a state pastry (kringle), Louisiana has a state meat pie (Natchitoches), and Vermont has a state flavor (maple). Oklahoma tries to make everyone happy with an official state meal that includes eleven separate dishes, while Louisiana stands out as the only part of the union bold enough to name an overall state cuisine, which is gumbo.

\u201CThe beauty of Texas trees and flowers is represented by the pecan and the bluebonnet, and the mockingbird is emblematic of our abundant and varied wildlife,\u201D Texas State Representative Ben Grant said in 1977, as he introduced the legislation that would make chili the official state dish. \u201CBut the internationally esteemed cuisine of this great state has received no official recognition and has no official symbol.\u201D

Credit Helen Loera, a high school student in New Mexico, with starting the trend in 1964. According to coverage in the Albuquerque Journal the following year, Loera had the idea to propose the chile as the state vegetable while taking a history class from a teacher named Arcenio A. Gonzales, who also served in the New Mexico legislature. Another bill had recently passed the black bear as the official state animal, so the issue of state symbols was part of the public conversation, and Gonzalez promised his student that he\u2019d pursue her suggestion if he was reelected. He was, and he got to work at the beginning of the next session, in January 1965.

Gonzalez was a Democrat, and one of his Republican colleagues, John Bigbee, couldn\u2019t help getting in a critique and suggesting a change to the bill. Bigbee represented one of the state\u2019s primary bean-growing regions, and added an amendment adding the pinto bean alongside the chile, as joint official state vegetables. \u201CI would hate to have to go back home and tell people we left the beans out of their chili,\u201D he told The Santa Fe New Mexican. The amended bill passed unanimously, and New Mexico became the first state to designate an official state food of any kind.

It also set the stage for another battle at the capitol in Santa Fe thirty years later, when the legislature debated and then passed an official state question\u2014\u201CRed or green?\u201D\u2014which references a choice between two different types of chile, an all-important decision facing patrons of the state\u2019s restaurants.

Despite bipartisan support for the bill, then-Governor Gary Johnson vetoed it in April 1995, saying the whole thing was a waste of time and would necessitate reprinting government documents. Johnson was widely ridiculed for the veto, because it seemed like such an easy win for state pride\u2014the question truly is common in New Mexico\u2014and an opportunity for widespread publicity. One letter to the editor printed in The Albuquerque Tribune called it \u201Ca doltish maneuver,\u201D which seemed to sum up the overall mood. And a year later, when the legislature passed the bill again, Johnson signed it into law. Since 1996, \u201CRed or green?\u201D has been the official state question of New Mexico. The proper answer is \u201CChristmas,\u201D meaning both kinds of chile.

Sometimes, the critics have won and proposed state foods have failed. Consider the plight of the cranberry muffin. In 1988, students at an elementary school in Merrill, Wisconsin proposed making it the official state muffin and worked with their state senator, Democrat Lloyd Kincaid, to bring it to a vote. At the time, Wisconsin was the nation\u2019s second-largest producer of cranberries (since then, it\u2019s zoomed to the top of the list, by a significant margin), so it seemed like a worthy crop to celebrate. The students sent 150 letters to cranberry growers and politicians, and even traveled to the state capitol in Madison to lobby for their proposal. The Associated Press reported on what happened next:

It was the end of the legislative session and lawmakers wanted to go home, so the bill\u2019s supporters gave up rather than dealing with the sarcastic amendments, which also included designating \u201Cthe ragamuffin as the state\u2019s official child muffin.\u201D One legislator proposed altering the original bill to do away with muffins altogether and simply name the cranberry as the Wisconsin state fruit; this vote also failed.

Foods, it\u2019s worth noting, a hardly the only seemingly innocuous state symbol to cause a stir in various legislatures. In 1988, while Oklahoma was passing its official state meal (which includes an 8- to 10-ounce steak \u201Ccarved \u2026 to resemble the shape of Oklahoma), California was debating possibilities for the state mollusk. Democratic Assemblyman Byron Sher proposed the banana slug, but Republicans pushed for the abalone, based on bizarre, homophobic logic: as one assemblyman put it, \u201Cthe banana slug is a bisexual pervert. The abalone is straight. That\u2019s important.\u201D

Ten states\u2014Colorado, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, and Pennsylvania\u2014don\u2019t have any official state foods (neither, for that matter, do the District of Columbia or any of U.S. territories; I checked). Of those that do, the number and types of official foods follow no discernable pattern.

The vast majority of state foods\u201470 out of 110\u2014have been named since 2000. Two came just this year, with the most recent being the Sandhill plum, the official state fruit of Kansas since April 12, 2022. Fourth- and fifth-grade students had started the process, and it sailed through the legislature (\u201Cwith some representatives lightheartedly opposing the measure in favor of proposals by schools in their districts,\u201D The Kansas Reflector noted).

Yet controversies endure. In 2021, the Maine legislature considered and then rejected a proposal to name the lobster roll the state sandwich (someone pointed out it wasn\u2019t actually invented there) and Connecticut\u2019s House of Representatives passed a bill to name pizza the official state food, thanks in part to an endorsement from some guy from Barstool Sports, but it died in the state senate. More proposed state foods are sure to come in the next legislative session, along with more bragging and more loud disagreements. There are still plenty of politicians eager to celebrate their states through such designations and looking for opportunities to expand the menu.

\u201CAny gourmet would recognize, you always start with the appetizer,\u201D Rhode Island State Representative Joseph McNamara told the Associated Press after he filed his bill to make calamari the official state appetizer in 2013. \u201CWho knows? We might go on to entr\u00E9e next year.\u201D
