 Although the Basque have lived in this region of the U.S. now for several generations, the culture they brought from Europe is still very evident. There's a very strong concentration of Basque culture still in Winnemucca today. There's actually several different dialects, and some of them they don't understand each other very well, which is a shock to me when I learned that. The Basque people brought with them not only tradition, they brought cuisine, too. Dana says a visit to a Basque restaurant sometimes involves people requesting an adult beverage called a pecan, and apparently it's very strong.
