Favorite Hoosier foods?

September 15, 2011

We asked library visitors to the "Food for Thought" exhibit hosted at the West Lafayette Public Library in late August/early September this question: "what is your favorite Indiana food?" 

We received these responses:
  • Butter
  • Chicken and Noodles
  • Corn on the cobb
  • Corn pudding
  •  Elephant Ears
  •  Fried catfish and onion rings: Every locally owned restaurant (almost) has fried catfish & onion rings.  Fish frys throughout the state, etc. 
  • Hog roast & sweet corn
  • Indiana corn
  • Macaroni and cheese
  • Pumpkin pie
  • Rhubarb pie
  • Sweet tea : showing up in restaurants in mid North Indiana; long time in South Hoosierland! 
  • Watermelon

Do we include YOUR favorite Hoosier food in this list?  


What would YOU like to add to this list of favorite Indiana foods?
