Recipes Cooking Food

Of all the places to find a book of receipts Mount Rushmore South Dakota was not a place I would have thought to look. In the tourist center there was a book of receipts from the local people and it contained some wonderful dishes. Someone put some real time and effort into this publication as there were full color pictures of the dish and of the person who submitted it. Not all of it was what you would call local home town cooking either. There were some fancy deserts that would make the chef at the Hilton in New York City salivate. Of course there were local dishes too. There was your run of the mill pot roast with carrots and potatoes and your egg salad sandwich. There was an oriental stir fry with some spices that I had never heard of. There was a buffalo meatloaf that looked quite interesting. Now that’s one you would expect to see in a South Dakota cookbook. There are actually people there that raise buffalo much like farmers raise cattle for the food market. It is becoming more and more popular and can actually be found on the grocery store shelves nation wide now.
