North Dakota & Food
Well so far we are loving the "native" foods that we are encoutering. Reister's in Medina is heaven for carnivores. I can even pork bellies so I can continue making bacon - and even get some pancetta hanging.
There are so many wonderful foods that we love. Knoephla soup is to die for, the sausages with sauerkraut in them are heaven on a plate (or sliced into the leftover knoephla soup! Eggs taste like eggs should taste, Family raised chickens are in the stores. Dairy foods are amazing!
But I'm having difficulty finding lamb. Do people NOT eat lamb here??? Does anyone know where I can get lamb, we may even consider buying a package deal.

You can get Lamb from a farm near Driscoll. There is a sign along the interstate. Don't know if I should give out her name here.

Lamb is a bit of a rarity compared to what you might expect, especially considering the ethnic makeup of the state. |

Knoephla soup is a creamy soup, usually chicken with potatoes and "knoephla" (little dough dumplings).

Another thing to try, if you're there in the German/Russian triangle, is Kuchen. Be sure to pronounce it like "Koo-gan".
