Not quite sure how many actually originate here. The culinary diversity is probably one of the highest in the country but ehh, i dunno.

I agree with Smacky... I've lived in Florida my whole life - it's very diverse. Everything I grew up on is mainly run of the mill Southern cuisine, like chicken N dumplin's, cornbread dressing, greens (YUCK), grits, fried chicken, any kind of seafood or fish, and fried pickles. Okay well... fried anything really. The only thing I can think of that screams Florida is the Key Lime Pie.

Yeah ggo with the Key Lime Pie, its definitely a Florida dish. It originated in the Florida Keys, hence the name.
