Amish (and hillbilly) foods.

OK, I'll throw in my 2 cents, and I skimmed thru that hr long video. Ha. Amish food is very regional, so for instance ShoeFly Pie isn't seen much in the plains Amish where I live, but Raisin Sour Cream pie is a big thing, and Peanut butter pie. Other things in the video that I see here....Pear jam (I make it), Apple butter, cracklings, sauerkraut, homemade ketchup and BBQ sauce, canned veg and fruit (of course), lots of home canned applesauce, pickles and even red hot pickles made with red hot candy, and sausage cream gravy and biscuits, although I was raised on dried beef cream gravy and toast. Fried mush and tomato gravy is hugely popular here.
Most of these foods are cheap to make. Lots of beans here, too, and they always have cut up hot dogs in them or vienna sausage.

Everything at the Amish store/deli near the BOL is familiar to me.

I vote for Tater Tot casserole!!!! Had some for the first time a few years ago only to be informed by Amish Heart it's... Amish food!

Oh yeah!
Tater Tot casserole and Bierrocks, too. Had a bierrock for lunch yesterday. Ham bone and navy bean soup with cornbread.

Our local favorite is also chicken and noodles. There's a little broth in it but not much. Pie and soft serve icecream.

What drew me to the film was how much it had in common with Appalachian mountain foods,
But then again, we had Amish and Mennonites in the area, and we'd trade with them on occasion at the gas station. I had a real crush on one of the daughters, but her dad always corralled them away.
Which sect was supposedly afraid of electricity? Both families had vehicles. I never knew about the buggy thing until I saw it on TV.

The red and black wax cheeses are to die for!
