But wonder which of the happy eaters managed to taste the most dishes, and how many? Perhaps…

Each district has its own name, usually a geographically-based one–Lamoni South, Randolph, and Crab Orchard are examples of places providing names for districts, these being found in Iowa, Mississippi, and Kentucky Amish communities.
