So let’s say you go out west and ask for a horse shoe. They’ll probably look at you in a really funny way. But here in the good old Midwest, we like our horseshoes. I believe it is the the best food in the wonderful state of Illinois. I believe if the horseshoe went nation wide and was as famous as it is in Illinois in the other 49 states, it would be voted the most popular food in the whole nation. If it then went global, it would be voted the best food in the world.
The fact is you just can’t beat a horseshoe. For those who don’t know what a horseshoe is, it’s a nice thick cut of meat, my favorite would have to be the tenderloin. On top of that meat is a wonderful mound of fresh French fries and upon that mound of meat and fries some lovely person poured cheese, not just regular cheese. Melted cheese. I would say the cheese is the best addition to the horseshoe. It fully completes the cycle.
It’s not a bit of an understatement to say that when I wake up in the morning I thank Steve Tomko, the inventor of the horseshoe for bringing me the reason why I wake up in the morning. Now, some people haven’t had horseshoes. To those people, I say, ‘’Pack your bags and leave Central Illinois. Tomko made the horseshoes specifically for us Central Illinoisans, and you purposely disrespect what many think should be on our state flag. Shame on you. Whenever you decide to join the rest of us with showing our Central Illinois pride, only then will we welcome you back with open arms.”
If everything went the way I would like it, I would demand a global wide horseshoe diet. Everyone would wake up and have a horseshoe, followed by a lunch time horseshoe, and you guessed it a dinner time horse shoe. To those who disagree with the horseshoe being at the tippy top of the list of best food ever, you needn’t make eye contact with me.
