What are midwest staples?

Steak, Potatoes, Ribs, Beans, Corn, Milk, Butter, Bacon, Barbeque, Pulled Pork, Keilbasa, Okie Beans...basically not Taco Sunomono (Octobus Salad), Ama Ebi (Raw Shrimp Sushi-the shrimp bodies, the heads are later served tempura style), Uni (Sea Urchin), Spider Roll (Soft Shell Crab), Unagi or Anago (both Eel fresh and seawater), Shark's fin anything (Soup, stir fry, etc). I don't eat like the normal person who lives in say St. Louis, or Cleveland.

You eat like me. I love Ungagi, soft shell crab...but I stay clear of shark fin now....not good for the sharks nor the enviornment.


And Janet E books are all "numbered" One for the Road, Two for the Dough, Three to get Ready etc. I think we just finished Sixteen. Seventeen is out soon.

 

[skiingfast]

But you get to hang out with me some more....

You can talk about stuff.

Oh yes that makes it far better than the other games.

I would try shark, and soft shell crab. Eel and urchin no thanks

What are cheese curds and baked betty?

Cheese curds are something that is removed in the processing of cheese, I'm not exactly sure, but someone from Wisconsin overnighted me some once and they were absolutely delectable! Very creamy, cheesey and sort of the essence of all things cheese without the solid consistency, they are very mushy and shaped like blobs, but if you every have the chance to try them if you love cheese you will love the curds.

Fran says Baked Betty is a cobblerish thingy with fruit and baked toppings. Her dad is from Oklahoma too, but she never visited back there. Oh yeah,
Ham & Hominy is another big Midwest staple!

I might have to try some of those things. DH is a very picky eater. But I on the other hand will try different things

Flattery will get you out of jail!

Little Miss Muffet sat on a Tuffet
Eating her (cheese) curds and whey
Along came a spider and sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away

I've never been able to eat cheese curds!

I agree, I reduced seafood intake a long time ago, because of some nations needing to import fish, I knew that it obviously wasn't a sustainable food source. I read an article that was published by the Monterey Bay Aquarium and now I barely eat fish because even farmed fish is a poor alternative.

I'm lucky to be living in Oz. We have a good variety of food. If you still have that article or a link to it, I'd be interested to read it.

Baked Betty can have lots of brown sugar on top and be called Brown Betties too.

Deep fried Cheese curds are a big part of the Wisconsin, Minnesota and other state fairs.

Haven't had hominy in a while.

I'd pretty avoided the midwest.....looks like I'm going to have to make a trip out there for the food.

 

[usnuzuloose]

A few years ago some guy who has a food booth at the fair made a chicken sandwich using a krispy kreme doughnut as a bun.

It was a long time ago, it was like a 10 worst, 10 best list. Based on things like bycatch, populationstability, live catch and polution.

Why do you have a good variety? Kangaroo steaks and crocodile tail?

Yep

I've actually never had a shark fin dish because of the manner in which they are harvested. We actually picked up a little brochure from the MBA which listed the seafoods which were OK to eat, we stay away from the ones that aren't OK. Alas we don't eat that much seafood as most of the time we are eating out of the freezer which means chicken or beef, keilbasa or who knows what else I have tucked away.

OK, she does read those, but I guess it is Susan Grafton who does the A is for ...., she is on S or T at least by now....
