I would recommend lots of corn dishes, but technically that's Mexico, as are tomatoes and chocolate.
So if you're insisting on some strict notion of North American, pre-Columbian purity, then go with buffalo burgers and wild rice, like they serve at powwows. Maybe some acorn mush just for variety. |
Sufferin' succotash, corn was and is grown by Amerinds all over NA (and Mexico is part of NA). Corn, beans and squash were staples along with the wild rice some northern tribes harvested. Sunflower seeds and peppers were also cultivated.
With that, I'm off to pop some pop corn! :D
