Amish Eating Traditions
Unknown to many, the Amish are actually made up of distinct sub-groups (including Old Order Amish, New Order Amish, Mennonite, Beachy Amish, "Swiss" Mennonites, and Swatrzentruber Amish), each with its own rules on what and how to eat. For breakfast, many Amish enjoy "cornmeal mush," made from oven-roasted field corn. Each meal is special, and it is important to eat with the entire family, no matter how big, whenever possible. This family time is crucial to the development of children, since their access to the outside world is limited. Therefore, children are raised to eat anything and everything their parents eat. Talk about family traditions!
