50 States; 50 Meals: Virginia

We finally made it to my home town!  When most people think of food from Virginia they instantly think of Smithfield Ham and peanuts from the Virginia diner.  A state as large as Virginia as more cuisine to offer.  Southern Virginia has Brunswick Stew and Coast brings Virginia oysters, clams, blue crabs and soft shell crabs.

What we had for dinner:

Virginia Ham Biscuits
Pretty self-explanatory.  Biscuits and Smithfield Ham served with a Dijon mustard and homemade peach preserves that were gifted to me the day of our dinner.    Side note: There is actually a law that says Smithfield Hams must be cured within the Smithfield town limits. 

Quiche with Virginia Ham
I turned our dinner into a breakfast dinner and made quiche to go with the traditional Virginia Ham biscuits.  I used one of our favorite quiche recipes, Cheese and Sausage Quiche, but substituted ham for the sausage.  It was still very good; however, I then realized I basically made a Denver omelet quiche.  That would totally awesome if it wasn't supposed to be about Virginia.  

And of course we had Virginia peanuts
