Made in the U.S.A.: Food Gifts from the 50 States

Looking for the perfect holiday gifts to share? Spread some of the culinary cheer offered by cooks and food businesses from California to New York, Texas to Montana, and every state in between (plus Alaska and Hawaii). Whether you're shopping for cookbooks, gift baskets, sweets, or sauces, chances are, one of the 50 states has something for you.


Alabama

Chocolate Chess Pie
A Southern specialty, chess pie is filled with a humble mixture of eggs, sugar, butter, and a small amount of flour, which was easy to throw together during lean times. At AlabamaGoods.com, no expense is spared and chess pie comes in this rich chocolate version. (alabamagoods.com, $25)

Alaska

Salmon Starter Pack
Make sure your loved ones get their Omega-3s the delicious way by sending them wild Alaska salmon. (DenaliSeafood.com, $66 for a sample of coho, king, and sockeye salmons)

Colorado

Fox Fire Farms Rack of Lamb
In the shadow of the Rocky Mountain Range, the Parry family has been ranching and farming since 1913. Their lambs roam free and feed only off the grass pasture where they live. The result is a natural, tender product of extremely high quality. (foxfirefarms.com, $16.25 to $67.75 $16.25 to $67.75 at local Whole Foods)

Hawaii

Lightly Salted Macadamia Nuts
Give the gift of Hawaii's most popular export with a bag of these lightly salted island gems or try a gift set of flavored macadamias. And in homage to the Hawaiian predilection for canned processed ham, Hamakua Plantations also offers a SPAM-flavored version. Delish? Yay or nay – you decide. (hawnnut.com, $8.50 for a 12-ounce pouch)

Idaho

Wildbeary Huckleberry Jam
North Idaho is home to an abundance of wild huckleberries, which thrive in the mountain soil of the Rockies. A close relative of the blueberry, huckleberries are incorporated into everything from jams and drink mixes to pancakes and popcorn at Wildbeary Huckleberry Products. (gbrfoods.com, from $4.25)

Maine

Live Lobsters
Treat someone to a fancy night in with a luxurious dinner that completes the scene. Live Maine lobsters are just the ticket. The Maine Lobster Council offers links to almost 50 suppliers capable of shipping the crustacean of your dreams to a lucky friend or loved one near you. (lobsterfrommaine.com, prices vary)

Ohio

Buckeye Candy
If Ohio had a state candy, it would be buckeyes – a treat with a creamy peanut butter center and a milk chocolate shell made to look like real buckeye nuts. (mariescandies.stores.yahoo.netmariescandies.stores.yahoo.net, $18.50 for 1 pound)
