Is that why the Midwest was addicted to canned vegetables, "casseroles", and why they're allergic to anything more flavorful than salt and pepper?

I'm no expert on Midwestern cuisine, there could be other factors like some central European culinary traditions, maybe religious conservatism and a general distrust of new things more common to inland cultures.

So, a factor for sure, but it's probably complicated.

You're probably right, I just wanted to take a cheap shot at the Midwest haha
