Aside from chicken another thing that you will find in Kentucky is seafood. Though it seems unlikely for this state to produce such things you will find it here; thanks to the subtropical climate that the state has. Kentucky caviar, lobster and shrimp are some of the seafood that are readily available in supermarkets. These are packed and ready for cooking. You will find these in supermarkets or even exported in other places.

You will find that Kentucky has a lot of interesting food to offer. One of which is burgoo. This can be described as a stew of a variety of meats. Usually three or more kinds of meats are used in this dish to which vegetables are added and it is simmered down. It may sound normal but what makes this dish stand out is that it is cooked until everything is broken down. It is cooked in large quantities so it's not unusual to see folks at cookouts standing over pots of these using rakes to stir it.
