[quote=Anonymous]Grew up in CA. Lived in Iowa for a couple of years in the 1980s. There was very, very little choice in fresh vegetables is what I recall. They grow few, and the same, crops on huge farms. Soybeans, corn, wheat. So tons of corn for sale in summer Not like western/PNW farms with lots of variety. Also seemed to be little interest in dining, gourmet food, vegetarian food, little to no ethnic dining. Nothing like a place to get a slice of pizza. Traditionally no Italian/Jewish influences like on east coast. Also lived on east coast in the same decade: more interest in fresh fish, dining as something social to do. Midwest more beer drinking; east coast, cocktails.[/quote]
