Question

which food tradition is correctly matched to its region?
clam chowder - northeast
gumbo - northeast
maple syrup - midwest
deep - dish pizza - south

Explanation:

To determine the correct match, we analyze each option:

• Gumbo is a traditional food of the Southern United States, not the Northeast, so "Gumbo - Northeast" is incorrect.
• Clam chowder (especially New England clam chowder) is a well - known food tradition of the Northeast region of the United States, so "Clam chowder - Northeast" is a correct match.
• Maple syrup is traditionally associated with the Northeast (specifically regions like Vermont), not the Midwest, so "Maple syrup - Midwest" is incorrect.
• Deep - dish pizza is a food tradition of the Midwest (Chicago), not the South, so "Deep - dish pizza - South" is incorrect.

Answer:

Clam chowder - Northeast
