Speaker 1 (00:00):
So, my guy, what up? My guy? Hey, So, dubs,
what is the signature dish of Minnesota? What is it?
I'm gonna say, juicy, lucy, that's what you would say.
Everybody looks at this differently, what would you say?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I think that it's gotta be tater tot hot dish, right,
because hot dish itself as a word is so particular
to Minnesota. And I feel like people try to say
that a Minnesota dish is like ludifisk or leftsi le lefsa.
That's that's a Norwegian dish that we have carried over here,
but it's still Norwegian or like Swedish meatbah.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
But everything's carried over here. We're a new country. We've
only been around a couple hondy.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Tater tot hot dish? Hello, where did that come from? Minnesota?
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Well?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yeah, that is our very So that would probably be
our signature dish. But when you what do other people think, Like,
does anybody outside of Minnesota really know that? Like, you know,
it's just a Philly cheese steak, isn't Now that's not
a Pennsylvania thing. That's a Philly thing. Yeah, Wisconsin is
literally when you think about it, the difference between the
two states. They are loaded with signature stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
They have so many.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
They are known for brats, They're known for sausages. Gee,
maybe cheese again. I mean, they're known for booze beer.
They're known for old fashions, brandy, old fish, brandy old fashions.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
At that.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I love a good whiskey old fashion, but brandy old fashions.
That's like for professionals.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Wisconsin somehow basically became the cheese capital of the country.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
If not the world or the world. But what is
Minnesota's signature dish? What is it? Talkback on the iHeartRadio app.
We are truly curious.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Everybody knows it's the Minnesota is known for their LUs
It is not anything that everybody likes to eat. Like
you guys are definitely known for your ludithith even all
the way from.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
My favorite lone star state. Well, thank you for listening.
Ludifis is like a fish and it's it's like dipped
in poison.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
It is, But nobody says Minnesota lutafisk. That's the thing
that I kind.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
Of get peeved about, because, like you said, Billy cheese
steak got a New York strip.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
You got stuff like that. There's no Minnesota blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Right, that bothers me Minnesota Tato todd hot dish, I guess.
But still, oh my gosh, you guys are forgetting the
fried spam. That spam that's complete with the accent there.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yes, spam spam from right here in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Is that really what we're known for? I don't know.
Is that what we're known for around the country. I
don't know. I'd have to say Minnesota's main dish or
signature dish would be wild rice soup has to be
thick though, Alone's baby.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
That's a great one. That's a great one because wild
rice is pretty regional to our area.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yes, so that qualified.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
But still people don't say Minnesota wild rice soup. Actually
maybe they sometimes do. I see packages that say Minnesota's
that could be it.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah, but do people from Florida know that? Do people
from obio o that? You know, what is our signature
dish here? You know, I'm kind of leaning towards but no,
they lefts. It really is talk back on the iHeart
app or for goodness, sit don't forget gulash. Yeah you've
got you. Yeah, But Wisconsin people need a lot of
(03:12):
gulash too.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
And nobody's eating Minnesota gulash.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
What are we known for? You guys be on Tater
Todd hot dish, juicy Lucy's. But again, if you go
to New York, it's like, oh yeah, I've been to Minnesota.
Got to try the juice. There's a few people, but
it's not like a Billy cheese steak right right or
a Maryland crab cake.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
All of these different meals just need a better PR
team to help them.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
I think that a Minnesota signature dish could also be
good old liver and onions.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
What I don't want to be known for liver and onions.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
That's like a Milwaukee thing too. Oh thanks, a lot
of Milwaukee people like liver and onions.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
What's up with Minnesota just trying to co opt these
different Wisconsin type things and others other countries and Swedish.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I'm not thinking that all the Wisconsin things are really
that good. You know. I'm not ripping them either. I
just don't think it's like some of their signature stuff.
I'm not a big.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Beer guy, but cheese and beer, I mean.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
The note for something. You gotta be known for something yeah,
can irs be the what is that? That pickle roll
up or whatever? Every time I go to an event,
they're like, hey, we're gonna do that, like yeah, yeah, yeah,
that is with the little cream cheese around yeah yeah,
yeah yeah, with a bologna yeah yeah. They do that
in Wisconsin too, Ham or whatever. They they do that
in the Dakota's too. That's not like just us. I
(04:34):
don't talk back on the iHeartRadio app to get one.
We're curious. Let a rip.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah, how did how did the pickle roll up become
such a thing?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I don't know, deasy, super easy to take a pickle,
chop it up, stick it in some bologney, throw some
Philadelphia cream cheese in there, Billy cream cheese, and there
you have it, and it's still not ours.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I'm sad now. I want me Tonnesota to have their things.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Everyone thinks it's Minnesota. It's tater tot hot dish, but
not everybody around the country knows that. You know, again,
Wisconsin's got their beer and their cheese and all that
kind of stuff. We feel a little left out anyway.
