Culinary Tourism Project (50 States)
I recently came across this post “US State Foods” on my way home from work. Generally, I’m pretty hungry on that train home, which I’m sure played a role. Anyway, two things occured to me.
1) I only recognized about half of these dishes, and the ones I didn’t recognize seemed worth trying, and
2) The items I do recognize are personal favorites, which bodes well for the items I don’t recognize…
Anyway, I decided to start a culinary project – a tour around the United States where I actaully learn to prepare each of these items personally, and from some level of scratch. Some items (Nevada, Vermont) will need alternatives from the list, and some I’ve already done (Wyoming comes to mind – whew!). Some, (I’m looking at you, Oklahoma) I should probably not learn how to do for the sake of my waistline…
At the end of the day, I’ll learn to cook better, and get to try all sorts of new foods!
The full list is archived below.
