Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

This guide is awful and bad.

Country ham and mayo??? What the genuine fuck?

Edit: To the person who downvoted me: I challenge you to find a single recipe, a single real photo, a single COMMENT from ANYONE in the world who has even thought about putting country ham, what is essentially salt that comes in the shape of a slice of ham, bare on some bread with mayonnaise as a sandwich, let alone the sandwich of Virginia.

I live in rural Virginia, I was born in urban Virginia, and I feel firm that I can speak for all of Virginia and say this guide is wrong and bad.

The only source I've been able to find for this is TitleMax, a title loan company. https://www.titlemax.com/discovery-center/the-united-states-of-sandwiches/

This is spam.

Washington State: banh mi

Okay so there are some eyebrow-raising entries in this list, but Washington couldn't even get a sandwich from the correct hemisphere. (A quick Google search even indicates the sandwich was first imported to California)

I guess a Bhan-mi is about as close as Washington gets to having a regional sandwich, but still wtf?

Looks like this was based off a list of 50 sandwiches made popular by the Food Network and Zagat magazine.

Specifically Cam's Ham in Virgina advertises the Ham and Mayo sandwich.

Are these "state sandwiches"? Probably not. Judging by the comments, you're all rather passionate about your sandwiches and what they represent. I've even received reports on this post saying it's false information. Perhaps we need to consider the source of this information and take it with a grain of salt.

Thank you all for remaining civil, and acknowledging the existing of sandwich alternatives such as hot dogs, tacos, and quesadillas.

Mayo on a smoked brisket sandwich?? That's not from Texas, y'all.

A better title would be, "random sandwiches you can probably get while visiting this state" I see very little correlation to what I would consider as the signature sandwich of the state.
