I have a friend who was Miss Jr. Iowa several decades ago- she defines Iowa cuisine (of that period) as anything with Jello.

Having spent time in MN and Iowa, wild rice would qualify IMO.
Again, upper Midwest, walleye would definitely fill the bill, but availability might be an issue out your way.

Only real "wild" wild rice please, don't use that paddy grown black stuff! Walleye would be great for the MN WI midwesterners. Bullheads would be more typical of those from Baja Minnesota (Iowa). Of course, the green bean "hot dish" should be included. For dessert, a bundt cake would be perfect. The Scandia Company of Minnesota were the inventors of the bundt pan.

So, what is "real wild rice"? I buy wild rice and it is black, am I buying the wrong stuff?

Karen-
"Real" wild rice is just that...wild. It is not cultivated in paddies, but harvested naturally from lakes and rives where it indeed grows wild. The rice you buy in the grocery in Calif. is most likely the cultivated variety.
