Maybe just me, but I find midwestern food impossibly bland. My wife's from SE Illinois, and we were up there for a funeral once. We ajourned to some buffet restaurant and I about spit out the first bite of some mashed potato and soggy "fried" chicken concoction. I grabbed the salt and pepper shakers (the only spices in the world up there then) and emptied them on them to make them palatable). Another time her daughter, supposedly an excellent cook, served us a dinner which everyone else loved and I had to force down. In Terre Haute, the nearest metropolis, we went to a Thai place. I ordered a 5; it tasted like a 2. Maybe it's gotten better since, but I'd much rather get a diet of Indian and Jamaivan recipes.
