What kind of food do you think should be served at powwows?

[Bodica]

Although I've never been to a powwow that didn't have frybread, it's the only NA food that I've ever seen there
(although, granted, I've only been to 3 powwows before).
None of the other foods or beverages that I've seen at one were Native, or even nourishing.
It was mostly just hotdogs, natchoes, candy, and soda.
I'd like to be able to buy foods like Prickly Pear Cactus fruit, Buffalo meat burgers, and foods made from corn, pumpkin, beans, avacados, and squash, instead.
It'd also be nice to be able to find somthing to drink there besides soda.
Mexican-style hot coco, or some kind of fruit juice made from indigionious fruit would be nice.
What do you guys think?

We bring our own drinks and most I know do that also

Free Food is the best though!!!

Hey again, Bo!

We always take our own food too.

I can't see avocados being too popular.

[timmy tiger]

Well, most of the ones that I go to have the Buffalo Burgers, frybread and things like that there. So I really don't know.

And free food is always the best.LOL

I have an Uncle who's a food vendor (So I get free food all the time.LOL), now he makes Sweet Potatoe fries with butter and cinnamon and sugar on them, that's more of a southern food, I think. But they are good.

This was the first thought that crossed my mind!

[injunboy]

umm powdered eggs.. beans.. and coke o cola and err, good navajo frybread!

[Joe G]

Up this way, in Michigan and Ontario, I always look forward to whitefish, and smoked salmon, or Walleye from the Glakes...yummm and Wild rice...and cornsoup, but not always available.
At KBIC in Keweenaw bay, they had a world class catered dinner! about3 or 4 main courses, deserts, lots of goodies...it was as good or better than many fancy restaurants! So Michigan has some great food at some of the powwows!

[Ndnsoldierboy]

asian dishes, european food, martian food, spartan kills, etc....serve that at a powwow...

[SuzzeQ4]

good food.

free food

Powwows I go to got lots a tradish foods, and a lot of mainstream food comes from tradish foods...at least thats how I justify my love of french fries. But serious elk burgers, catfish, strawberry juice, sweet pataoes (not a big fan) corn soup it's all there. I think sometimes people are looking for something real exotic. But people forget they eat NDN food all the time, like at thanksgiving (Turkey, pumpkin, potatoes, carrots, squash with maple syrup), or even the movies (popcorn) sure there is stuff most don't eat but there are lots people are eatin everyday.

Unfortunatly, not much of that was there.

Hey again, Nel!

Well as a matter of fact, I brought my own .
I stopped off at a local place on the way there, and ordered a large lemonade to go.
They're the only place that I know who make their own lemonade.
That' right; fresh lemonade.
Made with nothing but lemons & some sugar.
So I didn't have to buy my own at the powwow.

[wyo_rose]

Some powwows have the lemonade guy. I like it cuz I can take my own Splenda and have it low-carb.
