January 23, 201610 yr Is this strictly a Kentucky thing? I am looking for a good analogy for my sermon tomorrow. I need a candy/food/dessert (non alcoholic) that we only have in Kentucky. Something that elderly people that have lived here there entire life can remember and relate to.
January 23, 201610 yr Author I can't recall every seeing bbq mutton or burgoo outside of KY. What in the heavens is burgoo?
January 23, 201610 yr Author Goetta is more cincinnati I thought. Maybe derby pie or a hot brown. I would have said Ale 8 but I see those in other states now.
January 23, 201610 yr Peanutbutter and syrup sandwiches, maybe? I remember mentioning these in Indiana and people looked at me like I had lost my mind.
January 23, 201610 yr What in the heavens is burgoo? The best way I can describe it is a bbq vegetable soup. Typically has mutton, chicken, beef, corn, okra, etc. It can be a little spicy.
January 23, 201610 yr Potato Candy is a good one too, but you can get it in other areas. Older folks would feel connected to it though.

January 23, 201610 yr Peanutbutter and syrup sandwiches, maybe? I remember mentioning these in Indiana and people looked at me like I had lost my mind. There's a person in Maysville doing the same thing right now.
January 23, 201610 yr What in the heavens is burgoo? Traditionally it's a hunters stew. It utilized more than one type of meat...often times whatever game meat was available to hunt. Most restaurants use a combination of beef, por, and/or chicken. Keeneland has some REALLY good burgoo if you've ever been. I've posted my burgoo recipe somewhere on here in the past...I'll see if I can find it to give you a better idea. It's a very traditional 'Kentucky' thing, for what it's worth.
January 23, 201610 yr There's a person in Maysville doing the same thing right now. Speaking of Maysville, transparent pie is another very 'Kentucky' kind of thing. Apart from a few homemade recipes, I've never seen it sold anywhere outside of Maysville.
