Any list of Mississippi foods has big general categories - Soul Food and Seafood, being the most common. We are definitely known for great food, especially soul food in the top 3/4 of the state and seafood Cajun - borrowed from our Louisiana friends - on the Coast.

Supposedly Rootbeer Floats. Jolly Rancher Candies. Colorado also claimes fame to the first cheese burger. This is what I was gonna say.. from Google... The cheeseburger was invented in Colorado at Denver's first drive-thru restaurant, the Humpty Dumpty Drive-In. Louis Ballast, the owner, received a patent for the cheeseburger in 1935. All I can really confirm is the Jolly Rancher.. used to drive by the factory all the time.

Flint style Coney Dogs. If organ meats gross you out, maybe skip this one. Coney DogsIt offends family members as we've always lived in Genesee county, but I prefer Detroit style.

The horseshoe. Original is two hamburger patties on top of a piece of toast (side by side), layered with fries and topped with a cheese sauce. Now a days you can get lots of different kinds of meat and also just one patty/toast and it’s called a pony shoe.
So many restaurants have them around here, even our Steak n Shakes. Always lots of opinions on who has the best cheese sauce.

Fry Sauce is the obvious Utah answer.

Cannibal sandwich (raw ground beef and onions on rye bread) People eat that? Intentionally? *blink*

I don’t know where it was invented, but it seems like a lot of folks in other parts of the country have not heard of wedding soup, which is a regional favorite here. Did your area have a lot of German immigrants? Wedding soup is fairly well known in the part of Germany where I live - it even comes in cans! I live in Munich. Weißwurst - fresh, white veal sausages - were invented here, in a bierhall that still exists and still sells them, but only before midday, as that is the tradition (being a fresh product, before refrigeration, they would spoil by lunchtime, so are eaten for breakfast) There are a lot of other 'local' specialties, but whether they were invented here, or just became popular, is hard to know, given how old the history of some of these things are. That makes sense, because western PA had a lot of German immigrants in the 19th century. It is the best soup!

No idea. Fry sauce would be my only guess. Since the internet has been around forever, it seems like the once "specialty" foods for an area start popping up in different places. So, I don't give much thought to the origins, just if it tastes good.
ETA: I did some googling and it's some basic generic answers like raspberries, peaches, sweet corn, melons, and honey. Not exactly food dishes. Green jello didn't start here. Maybe funeral potatoes? Even what we call scones was a rip off from Native American fry bread. I think anyway.
And a pastrami burger? Really? It's just meat on top of a hamburger, which I do like.

Cannibal sandwich (raw ground beef and onions on rye bread) This is also very common in Germany. Where I am, it is called 'Hackpeter', but it has other names in other regions. People eat that? Intentionally? *blink* Personally, I don't eat it, but I didn't grow up here, but yes, it is commonly eaten and often seen on menus in traditional restaurants. It really isn't much different to eating Steak Tartare, except I don't think they use as good quality beef.
