Northeastern Adirondack Cuisine

This cuisine was largely lost and is in the process of being rediscovered and recreated from memories and old stories. The folks of the Northeastern Adirondack Dwellers had many variations, but there were still some common threads that was shared amongst them.
The core of the cuisine are corn, beans and squash (the three sisters). This is a trio of plants that can be cultivated together on the same field for great outcomes. Many dishes also added fish from the many lakes in the region to the diet and a few would feature meat from hares, ducks and chickens, however, the majority of dishes are vegetarian.
TODO: Add some notes about spices and herbs commonly used, will have to research this some more.
The cuisine was largely lost due to the internment of the members of this ethnic group in the Oven Village. During this time all cultural traditions that these peoples held were forbidden and any expression of them were heavily punished. Some traditions still survivied as some would talk about them in secret and tell future generations of their knowlegde.
After they were freed and started a new community in Thohtatyu the folks of the village started to bring as much back of these traditions as possible, but also started to create new traditions and mix in things they learn about from their neighbours and from the internet.
Some adaptations also had to be made because much of their food was now delivered by a local grocery chain and they simply do not carry some traditional ingredients as they are hard to come by in large enough quantities.
This has prompted the inhabitats to give their best to start gardens to grow these fruits, vegetables and herbs.
