8 Foods That are Totally and Absolutely Minnesota
We Minnesotans love to eat. But some items are odd. From canned meat that's a Hawaiin favorite to fish soaked in lye to absolutely anything on a stick, we've got all the food groups covered.
Lutefisk
Not being a native Minnesotan, (I've only lived here about 45 years), I'm not a big fan.
Hotdish
It's not a casserole. It's hotdish. Tater tots and cheese are two ingredients that will work with anything. Add some peas and ground beef and you are all set.
Walleye
Fresh from the lake, if it's not still frozen, is the best.
Anything-on-a-stick
The MN State Fair has the market cornered on this concept.
Spam
There's a museum dedicated to it. 'Nuf said. And its birthday is coming up May 11.
Lefse
A Norwegian favorite.
Swedish Meatballs
Hard to stop after just one, or two, or three.
Venison
Best if gotten in the field and not on the road.
