Midwestern food shows a lot of German and northern European influence (not surprising given the large number or German and Scandinavian immigrants in the Upper Midwest). That's why (in my opinion) it has more a "feel" of comfort food than anything else. You wonder was the development of Swanson _TV Dinner_ frozen meals influenced by how the US Midwest eats.

Apparently, Americans of Scandinavian descent eat more lutefisk nowadays than modern Scandinavians because they see it as an important part of their cultural heritage as opposed to something they no longer have to eat because they aren't poor anymore. This gets into a number of interesting issues of immigrant culture and how it tends to become a snapshot of a particular historical period in the origin country which continued on its own path.

Similarly, Norwegians laugh at Norwegian Americans for making potato lefse and dressing it with butter, sugar, jam, etc. In Norway, potato lefse is used almost exclusively as a wrap for hotdogs topped with crispy onions. They use a fully wheat flour lefse for the sweet stuff -- but when Norwegians came to the US in the 1800s, wheat was both much more expensive than potatoes and also harder to come by (because they could grow potatoes directly, without paying for milling, grinding, etc.)

You know, lutefisk is basically tasteless on its own, can be eaten with anything you want & in fact can be tender & flaky if cooked right (similar to that of its better known cousin bacalao/bacalhau). Also, I'm glad as a Native American that you have covered at least some of such food & the history behind them, & the Midwestern archeological history especially from precolumbian times are extremely intriguing to disprove the claim that the US Midwest is in the middle of nowhere. In fact, one could say that Cahokia is to the Mississippian Trade Network (which extends as far as southeastern Canada) what Tikal is to the Maya civilization in terms of scale & significance, & many more sites could be found along such an extensive civilization (to the point that Cahokia could be said to have been a city-state more than a lone site not unlike Greek ones)

Chili & cinnamon rolls are from Nebraska & a lessor extent Kansas. In Nebraska I believe it started in Miller & Paine department store cafes in the 70s & was in the public schools in the early 80s & is still served in schools today & at all Runza restaurants(where runzas were invented) . It was one of my favorite school lunches. It was sweet, salty & slightly spicy. The RUEBEN was created in a hotel restaurant in Omaha Nebraska. It is a staple in most restaurants. You also missed the tastee or loose meat sandwich from Nebraska & Iowa. It was so basic, yet so good! Ground beef with seasonings, including horseradish. It is served on a bun with mustard & pickle.

You are still missing some real gems, even in the places you went over.

Chicago actually has the second largest Mexican/Mexican American population of any city in the country. Correspondingly, it is not hard to find great Mexican food.

I still don’t understand the hate on Ohio here. Ohio has the second largest population in the Midwest and, where each other state has a clear dominant city, all three of Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati are about the same size. This has allowed for different migration patterns, and with it, different culinary histories. Cleveland and Cincinnati in particular have significantly different cuisines. Let’s start with Columbus. Columbus does not have quite as distinct a culinary history as the other major cities as it became a major city much more recently than the other two. However, it is significant on a national level because several fast food companies trial new potential products there. On a smaller note, Columbus has a significant Somali community due to refugees settled in the area. It is not as big as the one in Minnesota, but it does provide a significant alternative in the city. Eastern Ohio does not have a major city of its own and its food history is shared with much of Appalachia. However, I wanted to call attention to the pawpaw. Pawpaws are the largest fruit indigenous to the US. When ripe, they look a bit like a yellow-green mango, with a sweet custardy flesh that tastes like a cross between a mango, banana, and/or a pineapple. It is utterly unique, especially so because it is currently not fit for mass production and is not shelf stable. Pawpaws grow across most of the Eastern US, North of Georgia and east of the Mississippi. However, it is particularly of note in Ohio (and Kentucky). Athens Ohio actually holds a huge festival celebrating the pawpaw every year. This brings us to Cleveland. Cleveland is noted for immigration from Poland and Hungary, represented by pierogis and paprikash, respectively. Finally, the canned pasta company, Chef Boyarde, originated in Cleveland where the chef Boiarde opened a restaurant and began selling take-home pastas. He would eventually Americanize his name to Boyarde and open a factory across the border in Pennsylvania, but the start came from Cleveland. In fact, Time magazine named Cleveland the city with the best food scene in 2015 (no, I’m not going to try to defend that). Cincinnati has its own history of immigration, with particular waves from Germany and Italy, and internal waves of Appalachians and African Americans. The German history stands out in particular, with Cincinnati hosting the largest Oktoberfest outside Germany. Cincinnati has an extensive craft beer scene, along with a myriad of different styles of sausages, with goetta standing out as noteworthy and significant. Graeter’s is a local ice cream producer, recognized as one of the best nationally, that was founded over 150 years ago by German immigrants. But there’s also cuisine history with ties other than Germany. The much-maligned Cincinnati Chili, made with cinnamon-spiced ground meat, pasta, and cheese, has origins from Greece/Macedonia. Historically, Cincinnati also was a strong player in fine dining. In the mid 20th century, Cincinnati had 3 of the top ten nationally recognized fine dining restaurants in the country, topping New York City’s 2. Fine dining eventually declined (along with the rest of the city), but that is part of the area’s culinary history.

In addition to our German and Scandinavian immigrant influence we also have a thriving history of Eastern European immigrants and as a result excellent sausage. And of course the Midwest is the American bread basket.

I hope to see a full on Wisconsin video in the future. I stumbled upon your channel via your Japanese videos, I live in Japan now. Someday you should do a video on how Hokkaido in Japan and Wisconsin are virtually the same.

You maybe already did, I didn't get a chance to fully check all your videos, but if you didn't you should also to a video on the food in Hokkaido. It is truly the best food capitol of Japan, because if you ask any Nihonjin that doesn't live in Hokkaido about Hokkaido I can almost guarantee 95%+ the first thing they will say about Hokkaido is something about the food. I got spoiled having been to Hokkaido only my first 6 times to Japan, when I finally went to Tokyo at the end of my 6th time my food experience was kind of like meh it's ok...lol haha now I am going down a different topic rabbit hole I should reserve for one of you Japanese videos but back to Wisconsin, seriously Wisconsin cheese there is no comparison overall. For one state to make as many global award winning cheeses is ridiculous. We are talking one state competing against full countries and taking home more awards than you can shake a stick at. A lot of the absolutely amazing small cheese factory stuff you can only get in Wisconsin, there are so many amazing small cheese factories that simply don't mass produce cheese. If you love cheddar you need to get on board with some cheddar that has been aged like 7-20 years, your taste buds will literally explode..lol

Mustard is the best and most basic condiment for a hot dog. If you can only put one thing on a hot dog, it should be mustard. Now I grew up in a country where ketchup on hot dogs was extremely common, but for an American to say that it is the ‘best’ topping is dumbfounding. Mustard, relish, and diced onions are all ahead of ketchup in any list of toppings. Arguably so are cheese sauce and chili. Maybe even sriracha.

"Didn't think people were going to defend Ohio" *Leaves out Ohio. As a native Cincinnatian, I have to stand up for it. Cincinnati Chili is strange but great. Even if you don't like the chili with spaghetti, it is great on its own, on a coney or with cream cheese as dip. It was invented by Greek immigrants and is pretty similar to Greek Kima which also influenced Qeema in India and Pakistan. Goetta is also an amazing sausage that comes from German immigrants who historically came to Cincinnati in large numbers in the 19th century. It is a sausage made from ground meat with steel cut oats mixed in to strech out the meat in hard times. These oats then soak in the rendering fat while the sausage is fried and become very crisp and flavorful. Mock Duck soup is also an old Cincinnati staple again originating from German immigrants. It is made from Calf's Head in a way meant to replicate the taste and texture of turtle meat. Andy Warhol once described it as one of his favorites. Franks Red Hot sauce, though associated with Buffalo, also originates from Cincinnati. Cincinnati is also known for its many Breweries and it's french pot style Ice Cream Graeters. Jewish Immigrants also manufactured Matzo in Cincinnati for several years under the brand Manischewitz. You could honestly just do a video about the food there and how it originates from a mix of European immigrants, people who escaped slavery in the south and Appalachian communities.
