What are some foods Indiana is known for?

Indiana is a humble little state, but don't let that fool you: many iconic dishes hail from The Hoosier State! Perhaps most notable is pork tenderloin. This beloved sandwich consists of a thinly pounded layer of pork, breaded, and fried. And don't be fooled: it's not a true tenderloin if it's not at least double the size of the bun and hand-battered. Sugar cream pie is another fave; this pie has a custard-like texture with a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg on top. This beloved Indiana classic pie is simple, yet delicious. And finally, while Indiana is a proudly Midwestern state, we have a southern streak, too -- you'll find some of the best sweet corn, fried chicken, and biscuits and gravy right here.
