The Cuisine of Kentucky mostly resembles that of traditional Southern cuisine. Some common dinner dishes are fried catfish and hushpuppies, fried chicken and country fried steak. These are usually served with vegetables such as green beans, greens, pinto beans (or "soup beans") slowed cooked with pork as seasoning and served with cornbread. Some other popular items would include fried green tomatoes, cheese grits, corn pudding, fried okra, and chicken and dumplin's, which can be found across the commonwealth.〔()〕 In addition to this, Kentucky is known for its own regional style of barbecue. This style of barbecue is unique in itself given that it uses mutton, and is a style of Southern barbecue unique to Kentucky. Although Kentucky's cuisine is generally very similar to that of traditional Southern cuisine, it does differ with some unique dishes, especially in Louisville where the Hot Brown and Derby pie originated, although Derby pie is somewhat similar to pecan pie which is standard among traditional Southern cuisine.〔()〕 In northwestern parts of Kentucky burgoo is a favorite, while in southwestern parts of the state regular chili con carne is typical staple. In northern Kentucky plus a smaller amount in Louisville and Lexington Cincinnati chili is a popular fast food. That region and the Louisville area also are both home to a pronounced German-American population, translating into northern-like preferences for beer and European sausages. However, the remainder of the state's cuisine tends to be thoroughly Southern, preferring breakfast meats like country ham, ground pork sausage and as their beverage of choice, the state's renowned bourbon whiskey. Some common desserts would be chess pie, pecan pie, blackberry cobbler and bread pudding. ==Notable dishes and recipes== * Ale-8-One, a ginger-flavored soft drink bottled in Winchester * Mingua Beef Jerky, made and packaged in Bourbon County * Burgoo, a thick stew made from vegetables and mutton, or lamb, or other game meats * Mint julep, a potent potable that is made with bourbon and crushed mint and is the 'official' drink of the Kentucky Derby〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Mint Julep )〕 * Goetta, a Northern Kentucky delicacy composed primarily of ground meat, steel-cut oats and seasoned with bay leaves, rosemary, salt, pepper and thyme. * Henry Bain sauce, a potent sauce for serving with game * Brains and eggs, known mostly as an English dish; this was served in Frankfort restaurants until BSE scares * Mock turtle soup, Welsh and English settlers brought this recipe with them when they settled in Clay County * Frog legs, often breaded and deep-fried * Derby pie, a chocolate and pecan pie named for the Kentucky Derby * Benedictine, a greenish cucumber and cream cheese spread made popular by Louisville's Benedict's restaurant * Hot Brown, a layered dish of bread, bacon, and turkey, topped with a Mornay sauce * Stack cake, an Appalachian layered cake with apple preserves spread between each layer * Johnny cake, a flat corn bread cooked by direct heat * Bourbon balls, crushed cookies mixed with chocolate and bourbon, then coated in powdered sugar, first produced in Frankfort during Prohibition * Beer cheese, a cheese spread made with beer, Cheddar cheese, and spices * Modjeska, a gooey caramel candy with a marshmallow center.
