Cookin’ with Cobs and the Legend of the Norway Rib Eaters While the south is known for its hickory and Texas is known for its mesquite, thanks to a small group of barbeque pioneers, South Dakota is known for it’s “corncobs”. That’s right, corncobs, a barbeque heat source not unlike hickory or mesquite was first born out of necessity and availability. Cooking over cobs is more than a barbeque process; it is a tradition that is representative of the heritage of the Vermillion area and the State of South Dakota. The people of the Vermillion community and the Norway Township are proud to claim this unique cooking process as their own. Cooking over corncob embers is a tradition that soon spread throughout SD, NE and IA. It is also a tradition that has been passed along from father to son (in some cases mother to daughter), representing five generations of barbeque tradition in this region. While it is much harder to find cobs now days due to the fact that very few farmers shell corn as they did in the past, there are still some hardcore traditionalists that make the effort to find those remaining cobs in an effort to perpetuate a tradition rich in South Dakota history.
