Asparagus could become Massachusetts' new state vegetable, thanks to legislators pushing the issue forward on Beacon Hill. That got us thinking about the other official foods of the commonwealth.

There's baked Atlantic cod (state fish), baked Navy beans (state bean) and corn muffins (state muffin). Wash it all down with a glass of cranberry juice (state beverage). And for dessert, there's Boston cream pie or chocolate chip cookie (state dessert and state cookie, respectively). Grab a Boston cream doughnut (state doughnut) the next day.

But we know you have your own quintessential Massachusetts meal in mind. Maybe even the specific local spot you'd go for it? We want to know: What would you serve up for the official meal of the commonwealth. Tell us here, or in the form below.
