Green eggs and ham stand down
Many Virginians grew up hearing or reading Dr. Seuss’s classic Green Eggs and Ham, which was described as a delicious dish. There is no record of how many enjoy this meal but according to Stacker, Virginia, Ham and Eggs reign supreme as the state’s signature food.

Virginia Ham and Eggs are the best
Virginia ham, or country ham, will be on many tables during Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is heavily salted, cured, and smoked, so those with high blood pressure or other health issues should exercise caution when eating.
This popular ham has been eaten as a main course or served as ham biscuits, but it’s second to none when paired with eggs. Scramble, fry, or boil your eggs, or make eggs benedict. The choice is yours to complement Virginia Ham.
