Pork tenderloin sandwich and a shrimp cocktail

 

The breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches made sense to me  because there are a lot  of pigs in Indiana.

 

When AI told me shrimp cocktail was also big in Indiana, I discounted it.  Indiana is far away from any ocean.  But then I learned that there are a growing number of shrimp farms in the hoosier state, producing both saltwater and freshwater shrimp. 

 

So maybe it's legit to call the shrimp cocktail a regional food even if Indiana doesn't have an ocean and shrimp cocktails are served across the States.

you are doing a nice job putting a positive spin on this! But if your area is known for shrimp cocktail, then it’s safe to say it is not a good food town!
 

What else is on the menu in Indy? Grocery story sushi!

It's not corn season so I'll revert back to a something a little more Buffalo ...

 

A Beef Roast in the slow cooker with Onion Soup mix and water. A light coating of Lemon Pepper and a few sliced onions on top. When it's finished I'll pull it apart with a fork and put it on a Kimmelweck bun with some Horse Radish.

 

Homemade baked Mac & Cheese on the side.

St. Elmo Steakhouse is famous for its shrimp cocktail. The cocktail sauce is said to be special for its spiciness; my grandmother served it hotter on Christmas Eve.

If you're visiting Indianapolis, I recommend steering clear of Italian food, as it awful. Instead, consider ordering Domino's.

I think of the shrimp cocktail as a relic of the 1970s - not really a thing anymore.

 

It's weird that it's associated with Indy though the St. Elmo Steakhouse connection, I guess, explains it if that's one of the more famous dishes at one of Indy's more famous restaurants.  

 

I agree with Miyagi, if a town (especially a landlocked one) is claiming the shrimp cocktail as one of its signatures, it's probably not a foodie place.

No, I'm talking about the elbow macaroni, scrambled egg, and pickle juice retada.
