Oklahoma - The Sooner State

Oklahoma - The Sooner State

My impression of Oklahoma has always come from the musical that I watched a dozen times as a child.

Oklahoma actually has more official state food than any other state.  The complete list is fried okra, squash, cornbread barbeque pork, biscuits, sausage and gravy, corn, strawberries, chicken fried steak, pecan pie and black-eyed peas.

The official state vegetable is ... watermelon!  You can't say anything negative about a state that has watermelon as their state vegetable.

I went with a simple and delicious meal, Biscuits and Sausage Gravy,  Black Eyed Peas,  Southern Fried Okra, watermelon and Pecan Pie.  It turns out you cant find  fresh okra in December so i used squash instead.  It was all good southern food.
