Welcome to Missouri
When we talk about Missouri do you think of the St. Louis Arch? This is marvel of engineering, I would like to
mention some facts about the St. Louis Arch for those of you that may not know these facts. One of Missouri's most popular attractions was started in February 1963 and completed in October 1965. A total of 900 tons of stainless steel was used in the construction of the arch, the total weight is 17,246 tons. The height of the arch is 630 feet and the span at the ground is 630 feet. The arch has trams that can take visitors to the top, each tram can seat 5 persons and there are 8 trams. Truly a marvel of engineering if you are traveling in the St. Louis area this is a site you don't want to miss. Missouri is called "The Show Me State" and many wonderful dishes got their start in Missouri, I would like to name some of these famous foods; Toasted Ravoilli, Missouri Fudge Cake, Missouri Apple Cake, Cashew Chicken, Ozark Pudding, Gooey Butter Cake, Prosperity Sandwich, Pork Steaks. Peanut Butter was introduced by an unknown physician to a food products company to be used by people with poor teeth for a nutritious protein substitute in 1890. St Louis style pizza which is a thin crusted pizza with provel cheese. At the St Louis 1904 Worlds fair there were a number of new foods introduced to the delight of the fair goers; Waffle Cone, Hamburg Steak, Hot Dog On A Bun, Iced Tea, Chili, Cotton Candy. One other item that is famous in the St Louis area is; Slingers which is (eggs, hash browns, and a hamburger covered in chili). In 1889 the first ready mixed pancake mix was invented in St Josephs, Missouri and was called Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix. Makes your mouth water thinking of these great foods!!!
