What's Cooking in Kentucky

By Qandishah Brown

The blue grass state of Kentucky has become synonymous with one thing- a fast food franchise. The name alone will bring thoughts of juicy and crisp chicken waiting to be eaten by you. Who wouldn't want to have a bite off something that delicious? Surely you yourself have enjoyed this fried chicken at some time or another. Surprisingly there are other things that you will find you can eat in Kentucky.

Aside from chicken another thing that you will find in Kentucky is seafood. Though it seems unlikely for this state to produce such things you will find it here; thanks to the subtropical climate that the state has. Kentucky caviar, lobster and shrimp are some of the seafood that are readily available in supermarkets. These are packed and ready for cooking. You will find these in supermarkets or even exported in other places.

You will find that Kentucky has a lot of interesting food to offer. One of which is burgoo. This can be described as a stew of a variety of meats. Usually three or more kinds of meats are used in this dish to which vegetables are added and it is simmered down. It may sound normal but what makes this dish stand out is that it is cooked until everything is broken down. It is cooked in large quantities so it's not unusual to see folks at cookouts standing over pots of these using rakes to stir it.

You will find many other interesting dishes that Kentucky has to offer. One of the best places to go to discover these things are the craft fairs and festivals. Here you will be sure to find something home made. Whether it a different sort of pie or preserves. There are also numerous other handmade offerings at these events.

A craft fair in Kentucky can always bring so many interesting things. It can also be a good way to make money. If you enjoy crafting or making things then you too can take advantage of this opportunity by joining in on a Kentucky craft fair. There will surely be room for you in the next Kentucky craft fair or festival.
