Food+Products

Fishing is very popular in Midwestern states especially Missouri. Bass and catfish are available because of all the rivers and lakes in the Midwestern states. Corn especially sweet, and soybeans are also popular because it is very accessible.

A food that was brought to the land was sugar cream pie that was brought from the Amish. Persissmon pudding is a well known dish in this area and you probably won't find it outside of the Midwestern states. These states also produce most of the country's wild rice. Swedish pancakes and Polish pierogis were brought in and potatoes and pork sausage by German immigrants. Fruit was native to the land because they grew a lot of fruit. In Minnesota, Scandinavians brought over many dishes that include fish which was native to the land. There's also beef that is made into balls and cooked in sour cream. Germans influenced the food products greatly as well as Scandinavians and Hungarians. Kielbasa, which is sausage, was brought over by these groups of people.
