"Is Oklahoma Western themed?" My wife's grandmother was born in Oklahoma in 1907 - her birth certificate says "Indian Territory". So it is more about its history, than a theme.

[@Lisa-dn2gx]

That's so cool!! My grandma's family moved to Oklahoma in a covered wagon. Back when the James gang (Jesse James) would hold up at different farms avoiding the law, they held up at my great grandparents farm a few times which was unusual since they didn't typically go to the same place more than once. But according to my grandma (born in 1896) her dad told her that "mama put her foot down when they were gonna walk in with them boots on & she made um leave um out on the porch, but I think it was her cookin & playin poker that made um come back"! 😂 Wish I could get the accent she'd imitated in text especially with her Scottish brogue coming through!! I was born & raised there & it will always be home!!

[@ranger-1214]

My dad also says “Locust Grove, I.T.” in 1904.

[@nannettedellinger3123]

Oklahoma was made up of two territories before statehood. Oklahoma territory and Indian Territory. I'm not sure what you mean by western themed, we have a deep history of cowboys and American Indians. If your grandmother was born in Indian Territory as was mine, she would have been born in Eastern Oklahoma, settled by the Indians during what is known as the trail of tears. If she had been born in Oklahoma Territory, her family more likely would have come to Oklahoma in one of the land runs, or belonged to an Indian tribe whose land was basically stolen to make way for people to populate the state.

President Theodore Roosevelt kept his promise for the wildlife refuge after he visited and hunted elk on Parker's Great Pasture with Burk Burnett. Buffalo, elk, deer, longhorn cattle, prairie dogs, and my favorite the scissor tail flycatcher, Oklahoma's state bird can be seen in the refuge...

I was born and grew up in eastern Oklahoma 30 miles from Arkansas. Eastern Oklahoma is lush, green and hilly. Western Oklahoma is much more flat and part of United States plains. OKC is in the middle of the state. Western Oklahoma has oil wells and Wheat production. Oklahoma is a top 10 state for wheat production. Before statehood in 1907 the Oklahoma panhandle was known as no man’s land. After the Indians were relocated to Oklahoma the us government had 7 land runs where generally whites came into what would become Oklahoma, staked land, and bought it from the us government. Many Mennonites, Dutch and Northern German, took advantage of the Oklahoma land runs. They were first in Kansas then came to Oklahoma with turkey red wheat seed and started growing wheat. I left Oklahoma and have been in Texas for 25 years. Only small differences in my opinion. Many people migrate between Oklahoma and Texas, especially if you work in the oil business. Also students from both states attend universities between the states.

The dipping sauce is like a cocktail sauce. We also have half fries which are young bull testicles. There is an annual Calf Fry festival in Vinita, Oklahoma. I'm surprised they didn't mention the house dressing which is a delicious, well kept recipe. They are in the heart of "Cow Town". It is called this because at one time it's where cattle were drove to market. There was also a meat packing plant there too. As a kid we lived a good 15 miles north and when the wind was just right you could definitely smell the stock yards. There are numerous shops that sell numerous cow boy supplies.

Technically, "chai" is just Hindi for "tea," but in India it's often brewed with spices, and often brewed in milk instead of water, which gave someone in the US the bright idea to use it as the basis for a latte using spiced tea instead of espresso. These days, if you order chai in the US anywhere other than an Indian (or Pakistani or... you get the idea) restaurant, you'll probably get a sweet black-tea-and-spice milk drink. The spiced tea is often turned into a syrup both to make mixing the drinks faster and to make it easier to make an iced version (since it's just milk and syrup and ice).

[@valogden]

Drinking an iced chai tea right now. It's usually a black tea with Indian spices like cinnamon and cardamom. I sometimes brew it and sweeten it a little and mix with milk.

well since he is British, its pretty normal for him to be exposed to the deep culture Britain has. so it isnt as fascinating for him as oppose to learning different cultures.

Ditto. Very well said.😊

Also, at *least* half of the times he says that Britain "doesn't have anything like this," he's simply mistaken. He seems to have done remarkably little traveling within his own country -- even in areas quite close to him and easily accessible by public transportation. That's his choice, and I'm not knocking him for it, but it does sometimes get a little frustrating to hear him marvel at things that he could easily find much closer to home than North America. Or even at things that are actually *more* dramatic in England -- like the turquoise waters of Cornwall, for example, which stunned me to gaping wonderment when I first saw them, because the only other place I'd ever seen water that hue was in the Cariibbean! Oh, and Lewis, if you want to experience the exotic and delicious side dish we call a "baked potato," just go to any restaurant near you and order a boring, mundane, commonplace jacket potato. They're the exact same thing. We just have a different name for it.

Having a baked potato with a steak is pretty much standard here in the US. Some people may choose fries, mashed potatoes, or some other side dish instead. But for me a loaded baked potato with butter, cheese, sour cream, and bacon bits is my go to. Sooo delicious! You have got to get over here for a visit, Lewis!

[@emmef7970]

And, in the interim he needs to bake a potato and cook a steak, put it on a plate, slice the potato open and slather it with butter, a couple dollops of sour cream and scrambled bacon bits. It’s not rocket science. This is a common home made or restaurant meal. Add a vegetable of choice, salad and bread, rolls, biscuits and he could enjoy one of the best meals of his life. There are other ways to eat jacket potatoes besides pouring baked beans over them. LOL.

Oklahoman here. You asked if Oklahoma is western themed. There are western themed places, and the rural parts of the state are farming communities so it’s naturally more “western” in those areas, but the bigger cities are very modern. And steak and potatoes are a classic American meal. It’s literally one of the most classic American meals so much so that people use it as a phrase in the same way that burgers and fries go together.
