More Than Just Chicken in Kentucky

By Qandishah Brown

The state of Kentucky has become synonymous with two things: blue grass and fried chicken. Thanks to one of the most popular fast food franchises that originated from here. Just the name Kentucky alone will surely bring thoughts of that crispy and juicy fried chicken that we all love so much. Whether you like it spicy or original your mouth will be watering. Aside from this great tasting chicken, Kentucky has other food delicacies to offer.

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.

Burgoo is another Kentucky dish that is very interesting. This is a stew that is made from mixed meats and vegetables. It will normally have at least three different types of meat and a variety of vegetables. All these are simmered down until they become liquid and nothing is recognizable. This dish is normally cooked in large quantities; so you can find Kentucky folks standing on chairs and stooped over large pots at cook outs stirring their burgoo with a rake.

There are many other interesting food offerings that you will find in Kentucky. One of the best places that you can discover these are at the craft fairs and festivals. You will be sure to come across something that is home made and has a special touch to it. There are numerous fairs and festivals which you can visit throughout the year.

Not only do Kentucky craft fairs and shows provide you with a chance to discover more about Kentucky food; it can also be a great way to earn some money. If you are handy with crafts or enjoy these things as well, then you ought to take advantage of the chance to make some money through your hobbies at the a Kentucky craft fair or show.
