Some odd choices. RI is either a roast beef sandwich (there are roast beef sandwich joints everywhere) or a lobster roll.

Virginia is the Cuban? I'd go with a Club, a Sailor, or Stuffy's VIRGINIAN!

They got NC right, though Charlotte? And slaw on the side? It goes on the sandwich folks.

A lot of those are really regional for that state, or make no sense. How doesn't the Philly steak not make the cut for PA?

Amazed by this...the Michigan pasty.

While this one's more of a calzone than a traditional sandwich, it’s still meat and cheese surrounded by bread, so we’ll say it counts. A small influx of Finnish immigrants followed the Cornish miners into the upper peninsula of Michigan, and this sandwich became a tradition for miners in the area to eat. The Pasty Oven in Quinnesec is about as far north into that peninsula as you can go, and they create several types daily. Their traditional pasty is filled with beef, pork, onion and potato, all wrapped up in a buttery crust.

Would never classify as a sandwich in Cornwall. But I love they idea of the Finnish-Cornish culinary interaction.

They made an excuse for not giving PA the Philly, but I don't think it made any sense. Some of these sandwiches sound terrible.

Agreed ALA, a pastry is not a sandwich, and I am of the mind that a burger is a burger.

When anyone thinks of NY.....does anyone even think of Beef on Weck...how many even in NY heard of it?

First thing anyone from NY thinks of is either Pastrami, or Corned Beef. You can get into battle royales over them.

Beef on Weck is a hell of a sandwich.

Yes, but when you really think of NY and sandwich?

Pastrami on Rye? That is my Manhattan bias.

Well, I've lived in Michigan a long time, and I've never heard pasties called sandwiches.

And the author of that article apparently needs a geography lesson. Quinnesec is nowhere near as far north as you can go, it's at least 160 miles to Copper Harbor, Michigan.

The Fluffernutter for Massachusetts?? NO.

[Blue Train]

Considering how many want to make it the state sandwich?

The Fluffernutter for Massachusetts?? NO.

P.S. Beef on Weck pwands a Fluffernutter.

[.:.impossible]

[Blue Train]

Sorry, the MD sandwich is not lake trout but CRAB! Or rather, a crabcake sandwich.

I know a lot of people like the lake trout but you can't think of MD and not think of something with crab. Didn't they make one of the crab sandwiches the state sandwich?

Well, I detected 3 real sarnies - Colorado, Oregon & S Carolina - & 4 toasties - Mississippi, Minneapolis, S Dakota & Wyoming. Most of the rest were baps, cobs, baguettes or rolls (or a pasty )

The S Carolina BLT seemed OK, if there wasn't anything else to eat.

American slow food is some of the best stuff I've ever eaten, but that lot.... groo!
