Despite the name Indian Pudding, it is not a traditional native
dish. Native Americans had neither milk nor molasses to use in their
cooking. They did mix ground corn with berries, and may have had
maple syrup. Hasty Pudding and Indian Pudding are basically the same
pudding, as Hasty Pudding was an English tradition for centuries.
Printed references to hasty pudding in England date to 1599, while
Indian pudding recipes start appearing in American cookbooks in
1796.......

Indian Taco –
Originally known as Navajo Tacos, but since Indian tribes other than the
Navajo Nation have also adopted these as their own, they obtained the
universal name of Indian Taco. Indian Tacos are a combination of beans or
ground beef, chopped lettuce, sliced tomato, shredded cheddar cheese, and an
optional green chile sitting atop plate-sized rounds of crispy Navajo or
Indian Fry Bread. The Navajo Taco was voted the State Dish of Arizona in a
1995 poll conducted by the Arizona Republic newspaper. No plates or
silverware are needed, as you just fill the fry bread with your desired
fillings, roll it up, and then eat this delicious food. Eating Indian Tacos
is considered very macho and requires some dedicated chewing.
