Indy is in the seat of the Midwest and Midwesterners like things like
baked mac'n'cheese, beef pot roast with potatoes, onions and carrots,
corn on the cob, green tossed salad, pies and cakes, casseroles -
basically your Momma's home cooking. You might want to make a black
and white checkerboard cake and decorate it with racing theme in honor
of the track. Corn and soybeans are the two cash crops in Indiana, so
you could have some of both on hand.
Broad Ripple Brew Pub makes some good beers but I don't know if the
market them bottled.
IIRC Eli Lillty is the biggest employer in Indy so you could pass
around some Prozac.
Have fun!
