    Well, a "Baked Rhode Island" is a food that even  somebody down-under
    can understand....
    Pity about Oz state names being so unimaginative, we can't have
    any fun at all.

    When I was in Cairns last year (actually in Palm Cove...) I had a
    dessert that was so sweet it makes sugar seem dull by comparison.
    It was white and fluffy, sort of like a cross between a cake and a
    meringue.  I think of it as "Queensland Dessert," but I'd be glad
    to think of it as Baked Queensland if that would help the game.

I figure that cod cakes would be Baked Massachusetts.  Cod is much
associated with the Bay State.  Now someone will object that cod cakes
are fried; but you put them in the oven to stay warm, and so they're
half-baked -- which is why.

    Baked New Jersey would be a merciful thing to do.

    Baked Arizona is redundant. Which leads me to remember the "baby
    puppy" note, which leads to the probable ingredient for "Baked
    Arizona"...

    Baked New Hampshire could be a recipe for roasted pig.

    G'day,
    
    Oz states _are_ a bit awkward, but with a little imagination...
    
    Let's see
    
    Baked Tasmania would be baked apples
    Baked South Australia would be Mulled wine
    Baked Victoria would be Fried soft cheese
    Baked New South Wales would be Rooburgers
    Baked Queensland would be bananas and ice-cream
    Baked Western Australia would be beercake
    Baked Northern Territory would _have_ to be (crocodile) Dundee cake
    Baked Christmas Island would be a portion of plum pudding floating
    in custard or rum                                               
    Baked Torres Straits Island would be something very alcoholic that
    would have anyone in some straits quickly
    Baked Norfolk Island would be Hard Tack (from the penal colony that
    once existed)
    and 
    Baked Australian Capital Territory  (sort of = Washington DC)
    meringue eaten straight from the oven - full of fluff and hot air.

    I'm stumped for     Baked Lord Howe Island 
    
    That covers the states and dependent territories , I think.(hope
    :-) )

   What you are really talking about is a Pavlova. (one of Australia's
        Culinary Gifts to the world!
        
        (Along with Lamingtons, and real beer!)

    Baked Minnesota would be a lutefisk dish.

    I thought Baked Arizona was another name for Roadrunner Road Pizza?
    
    Re: .9
    
    Thank you, I knew it had a real name.
    
    I would add Australian wine [mmmmmm], Sydney harbor prawns, and
    Queensland butter to the list of Australian contributions to
    civilization. You guys know how to *live*.

    Pavlova ?
    
    Now there's a name that rings a bell.

    Baked California:
     1). A Malibu dopehead that passed out and sleep for six hours in the
    sun.
     2). Any of a number of Mexican entrees 
    

    I thought that Baked New Hampshire was sort of like a cross between
    Baked Alaska and Stone Soup.
