Each state sets a unique table reflecting the people, geography and history of its land. About Oklahoma's culinary heritage:
"Until late in the ninteenth century, the history of Oklahoma was closely tied to its Indian population...In the summer, they traversed the prairie, hunting buffalo, and using every part of the animal for food, clothing, shelter, fuel and tools. In the fall, the prairie Indians returned to their small villages to harvest their crops...The Plains Indians in the western part of the Oklahoma Territory were also buffalo hunters, but they did not maintain permanent villages. By the early 1800s the largest portion of Oklahoma was occupied by five major Indian tribes--the Creek, Choctaw, Chicksaw, Cherokee, and Seminole...These five tribes were primarily agricultural, and their principal crop was corn...A favorite dish of the Cherokee was Tafala, a boiled porridge of cracked corn...The Indians' diet was supplemented with beans, pumpkins, squash, wild game, and fish... Oklahoma was the last of the Great Plains regions to be settled and homesteaded...At noon on April 22, 1889, Oklahoma was opened for settlement, and the rush for land began...The majority of the homesteaders were small-scale farmers and ranchers...Settlers spent the first few years raising subsistence crips and bartering for necessities. When wheat was raised a few years later, they earned enough money to build homes...Most of the women who helped settle Oklahoma had brought with them their silver and good English china, onion sets, and packets of seeds. The carried in their heads recipes for sugar cakes, gingerbread, Brunswick Stew, and carrot fritters...Pioneer women of Oklahoma adjusted and made biscuits and corn bread. They invented a stew of rabbit, turnips, and flour gravy. The combined grains of hard Spanish wheat with beef and named it Oklahoma Stews. Wild pecans were used in pie fillings, and Pioneer Pecan Pie became famous all over the states. Pickles and preserves were made from watermelon rinds. Watermelons originally grew on Indian farms and were later raised by settlers... A variety of ethnic groups settled in Oklahoma, including Native Americans, African Americans, Germans, English, Italians, Spanish, Poles and Czechs. Although each group brought some of their native dishes with them, they soon melded into the cooking of Oklahoma with its strong Tex-Mex flavorings."
