I've hesitated posting these photos for awhile, no, there's nothing racy about them:) Â Unless your heart races at amazing food like the kind you are about to see. Â Rachel and I were attending a Sunday evening supper in St. Ignatius, Montana New Order Amish settlement a couple of years ago. Â There was an amazing meal followed by a very enjoyable singing session. Â There were two long tables, one was a dessert line, the other for supper and salads. Why have I hesitated to post the photos? Â I had permission from those in attendance to take the food photos. Â So why hesitate? Â I know if I post these, everyone will ask me for recipes for the items!:) Â But these photos are too delicious-looking and culturally insightful to let pass, so I am just going to share them. Â It was a large gathering it would have been difficult to pin down each person who made each dish and there's a lot of fellowship and visiting at such an occasion that swap recipes. Â So, sit back and enjoy and maybe a few of you can reverse engineer some of these recipes. Â Below is a fruit pizza of some sort and doesn't it look amazing? Â Now, stay tuned for dessert photos from this event which I'll post later!:) We do have some good recipes from St. Ignatius coming up in the upcoming cookbook, Amish Cooks Across America.

Wow, Kevin. Those pictures are incredible. I can see why you hesitated to publish them. They are food porn! You're right, I would love to have the recipes. Cannot figure out what kind of a dish the top one is with the tomatoes.

that salad looks like TACO salad to me.
looks good. Rita

I think what I am seeing is a kind of salad, layered on a large tray? I'm liking these ideas, as we have our son's wedding coming up, and I'm interested in ideas for feeding people. Everything looks so delicious!

the 'fruit pizza' looks to be a layered salad with chopped yellow and red cherry tomatoes on it. 🙂

Agreed, Angela...I was wrong on that photo description!
