Obviously most of the people who have answered so far don't know anything about the Amish. The Amish love to eat, and they eat any foods, just like everybody else. If they are out, they DO eat in restaurants, including McD's or other fast food. Contrary to popular misconceptions, the Amish are not Pennsylvania "Dutch," they are German. So they do eat German foods, noodles, etc. Amish women are FANTASTIC bakers. They often sell their baked goods (dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, bread, etc) along the highway or at flea & farmers' markets here in nw PA. They do grow, preserve and eat their own produce. They shop in our grocery stores AND Walmart, and buy the same things we do.The Amish are first and foremost human beings, just like us. They just have some different ideas and customs.
Yummy stuff like ham and scrapple and corn and fresh homemade bread and shoofly pie. Cholesterol heaven. ;-)
i think they eat what we eat but they basically grow their food. They live off the land
It depends on where the Amish live and what is typically served in that particular community. Since the Amish do a lot of heavy farm work or other manual labor, their meals tend to be heavy to provide the calories that they need. Many of them are of German descent, so you see a lot of the German type foods -- dumplings, gravy, etc.
They raise their own vegetables, chickens, pigs, beef, and other staples, but they also aren't adverse to buying "junk food" and sweets. I've seen an Amish woman walk out of Beachy's with a cart full of ice cream, snack foods, and candies.
Some of their traditional dishes are chicken and noodles, ham with schnitz (dried apples) or knepple (small noodles somewhat like spaetzle), corn soup with rivels, dried apple pies, shoofly pie, corn pudding, and lots of pickles and preserves (the famous "seven sweets and seven sours.")
They are also outstanding bakers, as someone else pointed out. Around here, they bring rolls, pies, breads, and other baked goods to a lot of the farmers markets. Good stuff!
they typically eat a standard meal of...wood, moldy bread and dirty water.
Excellent dairy products, fine pies, beef pies, great breads, fruit and many veggies, Love the Amish resturants in Sarasota FL
My sister worked as a delivery person for an Amish baker. I recall "shoo fly pie". They farm and have food that seems similar to anyone else's, except that it's homemade. They have good cheeses, sausages, etc. I speak German, but their language is a bit different. Mine is High German, and theirs is Low German, one said.
There were some very good answers in here (primarily homemade foods, and lots of yummy baked goods). I can't exactly say what the Amish eat (I'm not Amish, just so you know), but I can give you some ideas with growing up in a very German/Pennsylvania Dutch household.
I once heard that a true PA Dutch meal will have at least one serving of pork. That known... we ate a lot of pork. I have no idea if the Amish go by that rule or not. PA Dutch food often features dumplings... remember, they probably aren't going to be picking up a box of dried pasta at the store like we do.
My family also leaned more towards sour foods. I am not sure if this is a German thing or not. My mom would make this wonderful sandwich spread (I could be wrong, but it might be called "Amish Ham Salad" or something like that) of ham, swiss cheese, mayo, and sauerkraut, and serve it on rye bread. Incredible!!! And hot bacon dressing on lettuce or greens... so simple, but so good.
Our dinners really depended on the season. The summer would mean lots of veggies... my mom always said to enjoy the fresh veggies while you can. We would go down to Lancaster County (AKA PA Dutch Country) to get some fresh corn on the cob from the first crop. Winter meant soup... A big thing was chicken pot pie, but not in the conventional pie crust sort of way. This pot pie is fresh dough squares cooked in chicken broth... mmm always better the second day. And chicken corn soup!
And like the other users have said, the baked goods are out of this world! Shoo fly pie... Apple Dumplings (sometimes that was our dinner, because they are so filling)... Whoopie pies (mini chocolate cakes with icing inside them)... cakes and pies galore.
I guess the way to describe this food is wholesome. Very little processed food... fresh milk, fresh butter, fresh bread, fresh cheese, fresh grown fruit and veggies. Lots of stuff sounds fattening, but when you have strong work ethic (as the amish saying goes, idle hands are the devil's playground), you also burn a lot of calories. It's also important to note that these meals are balanced, plentiful, and elaborate. You won't just find a pot roast on the table... you'll get the roast, a cold salad/relish/some sort of pickled food), potatoes, bread or rolls, vegetables, a glass of milk, and maybe even dessert.
If you are interested in learning more, you may want to check out the cookbook author Marcia Adams. She used to have a TV show on our local PBS station... don't know if she's still on air or not. Whenever I think of Pennsylvania Dutch cooking, I think 'homecooking.'
