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?
