^^^Wtf do they eat in Minnesota...
It's a frozen wasteland settled by people who came frrom the old world frozen wasteland. They're happy to have jello, mayonnaise, and sour fish.
We're tied with Washington for having the lowest childhood obesity rate in the nation at 11.1%. Compare that to over 20% in most of the south.
So our jello salad does us just fine thank you very much. As for sour fish... only the old Norwegian ladies eat that. Drenched in melted butter of course. We do enjoy Mrs. Olson's Lefse at Christmas, made in nearby Gonvick, Minnesota. It's tasty with butter and sugar and rolled up. Or butter and jam. Or to dip in the gravy from the meatballs.
So to answer your question: We eat like most northern Americans (more often roasting, baking, and braising than frying since ovens have always been a necessity here)... but we have an affinity for hotdish, jello salad, bad coffee, and cheap red wine in a regular glass with ice cubes in it. Why? Because it's good enough.
