Mormon cuisine is maybe the weirdest food culture in America; it’s like one part midwestern casserole-from-canned-ingredients, one part the only Anglo adoption of native plants west of the Mississippi, left to simmer in a world where homemaking is still an important competitive endeavor but a critical mass of people went off to eat different foreign traditions for a few years

If you’ve ever made a dish from one of those internet recipes that starts off as a long mommyblog-ass narrative, you are in some sense downstream from Mormon food culture
