I am wanting to host a Superbowl party with food themed from the cities
playing, Chicago will be easy but I have no idea what Indy is known for
food-wise. Any suggestions?

Milk, baking soda, and corn?

Indiana (as well as Iowa) are know for breaded pork loin sandwiches.

OR!

Don't bother with Indy food since the Bears will win. Get one of
these for starters. Everything else will fall into place. <EG>

A GALLON?

OK, I'll one-up you:

MPANY&category%5Fname=Hand+Stuffed+Olives&product% 5Fid=Habanero+Stuffed

Five gallons of olives stuffed with habeneros. Of course, I'd have to
take out a mortgage on my house.

I got my daughter four jars of these (but much smaller) for Christmas.
She rations herself to two per day, otherwise her head explodes.

The link gave me an "unaccessible catalog item" error. Here's the page
again, and yes they look yummy!:

My daughter offered to share. I suggested that she cut *one* into thin
slices. I ate two slices. It burned pretty good.

My daughter put a bottle of olives stuffed with jalapenos into my
stocking the Christmas before. They were good.

Indy is in the seat of the Midwest and Midwesterners like things like
baked mac'n'cheese, beef pot roast with potatoes, onions and carrots,
corn on the cob, green tossed salad, pies and cakes, casseroles -
basically your Momma's home cooking. You might want to make a black
and white checkerboard cake and decorate it with racing theme in honor
of the track. Corn and soybeans are the two cash crops in Indiana, so
you could have some of both on hand.
Broad Ripple Brew Pub makes some good beers but I don't know if the
market them bottled.
IIRC Eli Lillty is the biggest employer in Indy so you could pass
around some Prozac.
Have fun!

You know not of what you speak, Indy is hardly "the seat of the
Midwest", that would be Iowa...

Just so you know, Indianans in general are considered by the rest of us
here in the Midwest as a buncha low - rent redneck no - lifes,
culinarily speaking Indy haute cuisine is along the lines of Dinty
Moore straight from the can, washed down with copious amounts of Grain
Belt bleer, and "dessert" is a plastic half - pint bottle of ADM -
brand everclear with a Ho Ho or Twinkie chaser...then you go beat your
wife or screw your sister or whatever farm animal that might be handy..

Besides which, ALL "food" in Indianer MUST be LIQUIFIED, as the
denizens of the state have NO TEETH...

In Indianer "Momma's home cooking" is what Momma can kype from the 7 -
11 and warm up in the microwave (or even between her legs if they
haven't paid the light bill!) whilst she is turning tricks out yonder
by the raw sewage ditch in the holler so's she can keep Pops in crystal
meth and the kiddies pacified with prescription cough syrup (Medicaid
takes care of the genital herpes, the scalp and pubic lice, and the
abortions in "Momma's Family")...'course it can git mighty confusin'
because more often than not "Momma and Pops" are REALLY "brother and
sister".

Indianer is good for picking up cheap cigs and fireworks, nothing more.
The entire state is an embarrasment...sort of a repository for hick
white trash, a "whigger" trailor trash ghetto if you will. It's the
one place where even the poorest black inner - city dwellers are *far*
superior in every way to the scummy white majority...

"Class" to a white Indianan is a double - wide...!!!

Let's put it this way: Indianer has all the drawbacks of the
hillybilly South, with *none* of the charms of the South - and that
*especially* holds in manners culinary...

So "seat of the Midwest", no - "Scumbag Central", most certainly YES...

Nice pepper pic, but what's that container you're keeping your
thermometers in? Looks like a good idea for mine, all except that one
we keep in the medicine cabinet.

They look nice. Five gallons would be a bit much. I got 2 quart jars
from costco and they lasted for a long long time. Now I get a more
manageable size from the ethnic stores.

Thanks. It's an old martini shaker. Probably from the 50's The whole
storage system worked out by accident but we like it because it's so
eclectic. And we do keep one in the medicine cabinet too. LOL

That was pretty funny. I had to attend an event in Muncie a few years
ago and I was amazed by the culture. A few hours away but it seemed
like a different planet.

Indiana University in Bloomington is one of the rare oases of culture,
e.g. it was the home of Dr. Kinsey and it has a top - notch music
school that is has in fact been ranked higher than Juillard...

If you dig Studebakers, South Bend is the place to go...although every
year the guys in the Stude groups complain/josh about the hookers
knocking on their motel doors when they are in town for their big
annual Studebaker meetings.

Of course the stuff I wrote about "Indianer" was somewhat over - the -
top, but you could say the same things about downstate Illannoy, it's
no great shakes either...

But poor Indiana (especially the northern part) was and is a poster
child for the "Rust Belt"; the Chicago metro and other areas eventually
recovered from the near - depression of the early 80's, Indiana just
never did...and the southern part is actually Appalachian in character,
another negative from a socio - economic point of view.

A hundred or so years ago Indiana was somewhat idealized in US popular
culture, e.g. sentimental songs like _Back Home In Indiana_, the novels
of Booth Tarkington, etc. Alas, no more :-(

I go to the US F1 Grand Prix in Indianapolis every year and look
forward to eating smoked turkey legs at the track.
