If South Carolina were a sandwich it would be a tomato sandwich with plenty of mayo on white bread.
If Georgia were a sandwich if would be a pimento cheese sandwich.
If North Carolina were a sandwich it would be pulled pork on a bun with a touch of sauce.
If Florida were a sandwich it wound be a Cuban on that long bread.
If Kentucky were a sandwich it would be a Hot Brown.
If Tennessee were a sandwich it would honor Elvis with a peanut butter and banana sandwich.
If Virginia were a sandwich it would be a country ham biscuit.
If Maryland were a sandwich it would be a soft shell crab sandwich.
If Louisiana were a sandwich it would be a shrimp po’ boy.
If Alabama were a sandwich it would be ribs with white bread, not a sandwich per se, but the folks in Tuscaloosa will know what this means.
If Mississippi were a sandwich it would be a standard peanut butter and jelly sandwich using your favorite jelly.
Note, there are no right answers to the above, only my and other opinions. Where have I strayed? What are your thoughts? I limited this to the south, but let me know of other states.

Note to Readers: A peanut butter and jelly sandwich should not be viewed as a slight. It is the staple of many as it is inexpensive, plus it is one thing kids will tend to universally eat.
Keith, you have me laughing hysterically again! Of course it could just be exhaustion on my part but who really knows? You must have spent hours coming up with all of those sandwiches. /In my part of Kentucky though it would never be a Hot Brown. It would be mutton on a bun with a side of Burgoo! :Providing of course that we could find some roadkill to put in the /burgoo!
Angie, it comes from all my visits to Louisville, the home of the Hot Brown. What is Burgoo? Keith
Ya know, I’m not sure how to describe Burgoo., It’s mainly a Daviess County thing I believe, but they have served it at the Derby a few times. It’s a very thick soup? stew? We use mutton, chicken and beef, cooked in a 60 gallon pot, until it falls off the bone. Onions, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes and corn, all ground are put in the pot to begin cooking in the broth while the meats are ground up. When it is done enough it is seasoned with salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce and simmered until serving time. Mostly made at church picnics, but also at the International Barbeque Fest that was always held in spring before the pandemic. I’ve heard the burgoo described as wallpaper paste by the unenlightened from other parts of the country, so maybe you have to be from here to appreciate it. In fact, I have a container of it thawing in the fridge right now and writing this has made me hungry. Oh, at the festivals and picnics they use a LOT of those 60 gallon pots over an open fire, cooking starting the night before and now they have automatic stirrers, but before those were invented all the men would take turns stirring it constantly until about 10:00 a.m. when people buying it by the gallon could begin picking it up, There’s nothing like one of the old country church picnics!
Angie, it sounds similar to Brunswick stew in terms of veggies and stew broth. People make the stew based on what they have. Chicken and pork are the two best meats. My Uncle, who catered big events around dog field trials, would throw in goat meat as well. It is a meal if you wanted it to be such, but usually it is a side for BBQ. Keith
Such a funny idea. When I think of California then it could be a guacamole tortilla sandwich with a fried egg (sunny side up) on top.
Now that sound good!
Hehe 😄
Note to Readers: If you come to NC and someone wants to put slaw on your BBQ sandwich, I encourage you to decline. The slaw is a vinegary mess that overpowers a good sandwich.
PS – My wife loves a heaping mayonnaise loaded tomato sandwich. In fact, she would eat mayonnaise sandwiches when she was little. In the south, people’s favorite mayo is a source of contention. It is OK to like more than one peanut butter, but you must put a flag in the ground on mayonnaise.
(Note, I read this to my wife and she loved it)
Note to Readers: I left off Texas and Arkansas. My thoughts would be a Texas sandwich would focus on a BBQ beef sandwich, while Arkansas would be a BBQ pork one.
All I know is I want a South Carolina right now!
Indeed. Favorite mayo?
Is there another other than Hellmans? Not in my world.
Lisa, we all have our favorites. We flip flop between Hellmans and Kraft, although we seem to get more Kraft. There are some here in NC that swear by Dukes. Keith
Nice post 😄✨️
