The United States of Thanksgiving

Fifty states, fifty-two recipes: The New York Times looked for Thanksgiving dishes from each state (plus D.C. and Puerto Rico) that say something about the state or its unique cuisine. Russian Salmon Pie makes perfect sense when you’re in Alaska. In Arizona, they put chiles in the cranberry sauce. Some recipes incorporate pioneer or Native American foods, while others reflect the immigrants that settled the state. More likely, you’ll see recipes that incorporate the local meat or crops. Try to guess what recipe will  represent your state before you look -but be sure to check them all out, because something new at your Thanksgiving table is always welcome.
