[edit] Kentucky cuisine

This page contains non factual and insulting text regarding the diet of a specific state. The tone is in itself derogatory. The article states that Kentucky consumption of White Castles is the highest in the nation. There are only White Castles in 3 cities in the state and the states population is over 4 million. Burgoo ( which I had never heard of) is served in Owensburg and I had to get that off the internet. It may contain some truth but it still has a derogatory tone to it. Also is this article suitable to Wikipedia? If there is an article concerning this states presumed diet then wouldn't there have to an aricle concerning every states cuisine?Dakota 22:30, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, assuming that the material is verifiable. The innacurately-named "Sources" section is just a link to an annoying recipe site. The article is, however, linked to from Cuisine of the United States and Kentucky, which is some evidence that some people think that Kentucky's food is interesting enough to read about. Of course, if Kentucky does not have its own cuisine, one could merge any verifiable information into Kentucky's History section, KFC, etc. Jkelly 23:20, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep I mean getting offended over White Castle consumption when Kentucky has over 40 restaurants is a little odd. Ohio I believe is the only one with more per capita. Burgoo is listed in at least a dozen cookbooks about Ky. Cuisine of California would be a good format to follow. Listing influences from the Greeks and Germans as the settled Kentucky would help sort this out.

• Note! This AfD was badly formed and it took me some time to sort it out. If you are at this page, you probably had a version of todays AfD page from before I did my clean-up. You should go to the page here if you want to vote on this article. - Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cuisine of Kentucky.
