What's Your State's Official Sandwich?

I'm originally from Massachusetts, where today, a legislative committee is deciding what the state's official sandwich will be. Up for consideration? The Fluffernutter! For those of you not familiar with it, this beloved sandwich consists of marshmallow Fluff and peanut butter (sans the crust for picky eaters). Californian Erin Zimmer of Serious Eats says if her state had a sandwich it would probably be avocado and sprouts on seven grain bread.
What do you think your state's official sandwich should be?

Vegetarian Brown Bag Lunch Ideas
July 22, 2009 at 12:10 PM by Cafe Cynthia - Comments (4)
I'm determined to break my son out of the brown bag doldrums next year, and luckily CafeMom rkoloms is several steps ahead of me. The mom of future 9th grader Alyssa has been collecting ideas, and since the Daily Buzz is headfirst into our Back to School Guide, she's offered to share them.
They are all vegetarian -- great for moms who are raising their children that way and for moms like me who just want to mix it up a bit.
rkoloms has been passionate about nutrition and children since becoming pregnant with her daughter in 1994, though she was a vegetarian before then. She's involved in several vegetarian and healthy parenting groups here on CafeMom to "get some good nutritional information out into mainstream America" and do her part to extinguish childhood obesity.

One-Pot Wednesdays: Rosemary Balsamic Chicken Salad
April 22, 2009 at 8:09 AM by Cafe Kim - Comments (4)
Finally. Sun! Warmer weather means less soups and more salads. With this in mind, and also because I got a bunch of fresh rosemary at the farmer's market over the weekend, I'm making Rosemary Balsamic Chicken Salad for One-Pot Wednesday.
