Egg Pancakes

At some point during week 2 of the Trial That Would Never End, Sarah was craving egg pancakes. Egg pancakes are something that I had never heard of, growing up in New Jersey. That is because it is an Iowan food.

And, like most Iowan food, people from Iowa are completely unaware of their food's regionality. So, the first time Sarah told me about egg pancakes, I was bewildered. And so was she. She couldn't believe that I hadn't heard of them.

Since then, I have become a fan of this part-crepe/part-pancake dish. The lovely recipe is from Sarah's mom, who I presume got it from her own mother.

Iowa Style Pizza

You likely are familiar with the concept of New York style pizza and Chicago style pizza and maybe even the loose category of pizzas that might be considered California style. But what you may not be familiar with is the concept of Iowa style pizza. Thing is, neither are Iowans.

I define Iowa style pizza in two parts: First, it must be a standard midwest medium crust pizza that is inspired very literally by a sandwich. Second, the weirdness of the pizza must be matched by the normalness with which it is attributed amongst Iowans.
