PP1 Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 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.
Irish Cat Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I can't recall every seeing bbq mutton or burgoo outside of KY.

TAC Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 What in the heavens is burgoo? You need to go to Keenland
PP1 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 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.
Jumper_Dad Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Peanutbutter and syrup sandwiches, maybe? I remember mentioning these in Indiana and people looked at me like I had lost my mind.
Irish Cat Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 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.
Jumper_Dad Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Potato Candy is a good one too, but you can get it in other areas. Older folks would feel connected to it though.

Wasn't sure how far south in the state you were. For sure a Cincy area thing. Ky Hot Brown might be a good option. Never heard of potato candy

mcpapa Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 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.
Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 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.
Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 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.
