Although Nebraska did not have an official state building on the fairgrounds, there was a small Nebraskan restaurant on the Plateau of States built by The Cult of Aksarben.
Description[edit | edit source]
The restaurant taught the cult of how and what to eat. The principal article of belief of the cult is that food should be proportioned or, as the priestess said, “balanced.” Dishes should be so chosen and prepared as to be one-third body-building and two-thirds energy-producing. This did not mean vegetarianism. Even for the confessed dyspeptic the cult advises beef or mutton, Nebraska grown preferred, once a day or at least four times a week in summer. Nebraska creamed chicken may be taken “ad lib,” as the prescriptions say. The restaurants which flank the pagoda have canvas roofs and are open on the sides. “High” flavoring is banished. Pepper and mustard do not appear. Fresh air is conspicuous in the regimen. One rule reads, “Shortly before eating breathe as much fresh outdoor air into the lungs as you expect to take food into the stomach.”
