No, Oklahoma is not the only state with an official state meal.
While Oklahoma proudly maintains an official state meal, it shares this distinction with one other state in the United States. Only two states in the entire country have officially designated an entire meal.
States with Official State Meals
Currently, only two states have an officially recognized state meal:
State | Has Official State Meal? |
---|---|
Oklahoma | Yes |
Louisiana | Yes |
This makes both Oklahoma and Louisiana unique in their commitment to enshrining their culinary heritage at a statewide level. While many states feature official state foods, drinks, or desserts, the designation of an entire "state meal" is a far rarer and more comprehensive honor.
