You know how every town nowadays has a foodie tour to sample fare from local restaurants?  Well, the tiny town of Ansted WV was not to be left out.  Their “Taste” tour was part of the town heritage festival and it was a bit unique.  Their goal, let visitors know what folks around here like to eat.  So…

Six entries

Four were made by hand in the homes of local residents:  Pecan blondies, pecan sponge cake bars, deep fried chicken tenders, banana pudding (the organizers entry.

Cupcakes made at the senior center.  They were decorated with white icing, fresh blueberries and pineapple then arranged to look like an American flag

Pizza: the owner/operator of the local pizza shop created a special chicken/pineapple/bacon pie with sriracha sauce

Participation was free.

The organizer gave me a ticket with direction to “sample everything if you can” then vote with your ticket for the one you like best.”

I don’t know what prize was bestowed upon the winner but all were tasty and it was a fun way to get a glimpse into the lives of the locals.  I voted for the pizza by the way.
