Not too many people know of this... it seems to be a
central Illinois thing, but to me a horseshoe is, besides the obvious, a tasty
dish. No, I don't eat
cast-iron horseshoes. In
Springfield, IL and the surrounding area, ask anyone and they'll tell you that a horseshoe is a piece of
toast with some form of
meat on it, covered in
french fries and then smothered in
cheese sauce. Generally you can get
hamburger horseshoes or
ham horseshoes at many bars and
restaurants (not to mention
high school cafeterias.)
This and Lincoln are about the only two things Springfield, IL has going for it. Yay, Springfield.
